Must Know Methods Which Land Clearing Companies Do

By Imelda Reid


Land clearing is generally involves removing trees and brushes in a specific piece of terrain. There are various methods land clearing companies do depending on the terrain they are working on. The factors they consider is the location, size and purpose of it. Most of this excavation requires professional help and various construction equipments.

One common equipment used in this kind of task is the bulldozer. They prefer to use this because of the versatility it can provide. The front part of the dozer can be attached with some other tools depending on what task that needs to be done. In land clearing, a tool called root plow is used. This tool has a sharp blade in it which is shoved into the topsoil to easily remove small trees and bushes.

Even though dozers are versatile, it is not flexible enough to do some tasks. For more flexibility, excavators are also used. This equipment moves and works like a human hand. This helps grab small tress and load it into the trucks for proper disposal. Like bulldozers, excavators also use attachments to do certain tasks.

By combining the two powerful tools, clearing out lands are as easy as one, two, three if you have the expertise on how to use it. Without sufficient knowledge on how to maneuver such tools can make it useless. There are a lots of types and techniques most land clearer professionals do. These are cutting and grinding, pushover and burning. The push over method is done by pushing the tree while keeping the roots untouched.

Cut and grind is a pretty straightforward procedure. They cut off the trees and transport it to the piling location. The roots will then be pulled out from the ground right after.

The most perilous technique is burning. This method is only used if the location of the lot is away from civilization and is vast enough to manually cut the trees down one by one. Mostly, only experts do this kind of thing because of the risks which can possibly endanger a life of an individual. Professionals who use this kind of method properly controls the fire to prevent it from spreading over.

There are some small parts of land which can be cleared by one or more person. If you consider a larger one, then let the experts do it. They can do task more effectively without consuming a lot of time. Also, there are laws that need to be followed before you can go ahead and begin clearing.

The trees that are accumulated after the clearing can then be converted to money by selling it to a timber company. There are companies who clean the area right after they collect the trees. You can ask you friends or someone you know if they have someone to recommend. By doing so, you already have the money without having to worry about how to clean the leftovers.

Remember that land clearing will leave the top layer or topsoil open to soil erosion. To prevent and preserve this upper layer, you can plant grasses on it. If in case, the soil will be used for development later on, you can then remove the grass easily rather than importing a bunch of new dirt just to avoid soil loss.
