Land Clearing

What is land clearing? It is the process of the tree, stumps, stones, and brush removal. Normally, this is required to increase the land base. However, there are other cases where land clearing is merely used to clear off untouched lands that used to be home to native flora and fauna. In order to fully clear land, soil breaking must be done apart from only removing plants, boulders, and trees. What is soil breaking? This process includes a thorough removal of roots, stumps, and rocks which are left from the initial round of clearing.

When is it necessary to conduct land clearing? What needs to be considered?

It is most likely required when there is a need to build an access road, digging a basement or foundation, or even when setting up utilities such as electricity or water. It is also clear that land clearing is needed especially when there is a need to demolish standing buildings. But why? Well, even if a tree is not directly in the way of the construction, the root of the tree may pose an issue to the construction, years later. The process of land clearing is a long one and it involves many things. Firstly, a professional should be onsite to survey the piece of land against construction blueprints to determine what extent of land clearing is required. Once done, the land clearing service provider steps in to do the necessary steps and prepare the land as required. The next question would be: Is excavation really needed? In short, yes. Excavation plays a major role in preparing a piece of land for construction. Although it is not mandatory, it is always good to excavate before commencing your construction. Bear in mind that excavation and erosion control should come hand in hand. You cannot have one without the other.

Having said that, it seems that there are a lot of factors and considerations to go over when land clearing is concerned.  Questions that come into my mind now is whether I will be building a house in the future? Do I own any piece of land which I may one day want to develop? If so, who may I contact for such services? I doubt I could ever do it on my own.
