Although it might seem like land clearing should be an easy process for almost anyone to do, the opposite is actually true. You need experienced professionals who have the skills to do the work properly. Removing old trees and brush from a parcel is not a job for novice property owners looking to show off their DIY skills.
Learn more about why site preparation and vegetation removal from professionals ensures the best possible results for whatever ideas you have in mind for your parcel.
Professionals Have the Right Equipment
Perhaps the best reason to rely on professionals for this job is their familiarity with the land-clearing equipment. They have access to mulching machines, bulldozers, cranes, large chainsaws, and more that make it easier to remove trees, boulders, and other debris.
If you’re trying to DIY the work, you will probably have to rent the equipment and find a way to transport it to the job site. You may need a few hours or longer to learn how to use the equipment properly, delaying the start of the project. You’ll then face higher rental costs, which reduces the benefits of trying to save money with DIY work.
Experts Do the Job Safely
Tree clearing is the most time-consuming aspect of a land-clearing project. Cutting damaged and dead trees is also one of the most dangerous steps, especially if a novice landowner is doing DIY work.
Professional land-clearing teams will have the experience and safety gear needed to handle large trees properly. Novices could make a mistake while removing these trees, causing them to fall in an unintended direction and putting bystanders in danger.
Working with heavy-duty equipment also requires following safety procedures. If you have existing buildings or utility lines already on the property, professionals will use smaller equipment that’s easy to maneuver and reduces the risk of damaging the infrastructure.
Your Project’s Timeline Will Remain Intact
When landowners decide to clear a piece of overgrown property, they often have a plan and timeline in mind for completing the work. If you try to clear the parcel yourself or hire a company that doesn’t specialize in land clearing, you’ll probably experience a delay in your timeline. Unqualified people need more time to learn to remove brush and trees.
Hiring experienced professionals gives you a better chance at remaining on track. These experts will provide an estimate for completing the project and then stick to it. Their experience with similar projects gives them insights into how long the work will take.
Professionals Manage Any Environmental Regulations
Removing vegetation is an important first step for any construction project on an undeveloped parcel. However, you still have to follow local environmental regulations while doing the work, or you could face delays and fines.
You may need soil grading to protect neighboring properties from unwanted water runoff after a thunderstorm. Failing to address erosion control and water flow could put you in violation of environmental rules.
Your debris management options may be limited because of environmental issues. Depending on local regulations, leaving old trees on the lot to deteriorate naturally or burning them might not be an option.
Experts Protect Your Existing Infrastructure
If you have buildings or utility lines already on the property, land-clearing professionals will carefully manage tree and brush removal. Novices might inaccurately estimate how trees will fall, putting your infrastructure at risk. Inexperience with heavy-duty equipment can lead to mistakes that cause damage to utility lines or buildings, too.
A Land-Clearing Team Can Provide Key Advice
When you own a piece of overgrown property, you might have some vague ideas about what to do with it. If you want to further develop your ideas with the help of experts, consult land-clearing professionals. They likely have experience with projects similar to what you want to do, and they can help you determine a timeline for preparing the parcel. Accurate timeline estimates are essential for managing your budget for any project.
The professionals can develop an accurate price quote for clearing the property, too, which is important for helping you determine the financial variability of your plans. The more information you have, the easier it becomes to make your goals for the space become a reality.
