Recommendations To Help You In Clearing Excess Growth From Your Property

Posted on: 13 November 2020

When you think about clearing land from your property, you may think that it is only needed during a new construction process. However, anytime your property becomes overgrown around your existing home and buildings, you will need to bring in the right process to remove the growth safely and efficiently to restore your property and take back the area in your yard you can use for other purposes. The following is a helpful guide to clearing your land of brush, weeds, and overgrown trees from your property.

Make a Plan

One of the first steps you want to take in the process to clear your land of any unwanted growth is to complete a walk through of the area to determine what you are up against. Check to see what types of vegetation are growing, which will determine the type of tools you will need for their removal.

Also look at the type of terrain you will be working on, for example, if there are any large boulders in the way under the brush, or if there is any existing fence materials that may get in the way of the project. Sometimes you will need to bring in larger equipment to remove some thick or large growth, and it is important to be sure your equipment won't get stuck or be blocked through its passage.

Calculate how much of the area is covered by lower brush and if there are any trees you will need to remove. It is recommended that you remove the trees from the area first then go on to remove the lower vegetation and weeds. Keep in mind you will need to also remove any large boulders from the area that you don't want to keep in place and use in your landscaping or other land use.

Select Your Equipment and Tools

The equipment you use for the clearing of your land will make a big difference in the work and energy you need to put into the project. Selecting the right equipment for each part of the project can help you maximize your efforts. For example, if you have a large area of vegetation to remove, you can cut it down with a brush mower, which you can rent from a local equipment rental. The brush mower is self-propelled and you can push it over the land you need to clear. Or you can use your own weed eater with a blade attachment in place of the string you would normally use for edging. 

To remove trees from your property, be sure you only remove smaller growth on your own and hire a tree professional to remove the larger trees. Then, you can ask them to grind and remove the stumps. Or you can rent a power stump grinder to remove the trunk, stump, and roots. Find land clearing services in your area today.
