Let’s face it: land developments are pretty much always a hassle – though the rewards are generally well worth it.
Between permitting, site work, figuring out what land clearing service you need, finding the right team and contractors to do it, and actually investing in the whole thing… it can be a little overwhelming!
Let’s break it down with some tips for finding the right land clearing company from a team of pros who’ve been at it for a while now.
Step #1: Assess Your Land Clearing Needs
Before you pay for any land clearing services you should take a look around your property and see what you’re dealing with.
Pine trees are different from mere brush, and removing trees isn’t like clearing other vegetation. Brush is not all made equal, and if there are large stones around that’s an issue as well. Let’s dive in.
Take Some Notes
This will help possible contractors know what to expect and the right equipment to bring.
Are you dealing with just stumps and small foliage, or are there unwanted trees there?
Will you need tree removal services and extra equipment brought to the site?
Will you be doing any extra landscape work?
Is there a nice place nearby to dispose of debris, or are you expecting everything to be turned into mulch and left on the ground?
Define Your Objectives
Are you engaging in a new construction project or just looking for tree removal services for beauty or aesthetics?
Is this part of a business project? Will the property be sold afterwards?
Knowing your goals will set you on the right track form the start.
Is this a small property or a huge one? If you need complete clearing of acres of land, you’ll require the right equipment (generally the big stuff!) for those clearing services.
Consider Your Environmental Impact
Yup, this is a factor as well. First of all, your project might not be environmentally friendly to begin with, but also because many contractors do a bad job at keeping land clearing earth-friendly.
Just as an example (while not that close to our Gainesville, FL land clearing home base), Florida has the Everglades, which are extremely protected. Land clearing without this in mind could cause more damage than expected to your local biosphere, and depending on your local legislation could also cause serious monetary damage to YOUR checkbook!
Step #2: Research Land Clearing Services
Once you have it all written down, you’ll need to find someone offering reliable land clearing services for your blank canvas. This research is similar to the one you do before any construction project or new developments. Let’s briefly break it down.
Look for Experienced Professionals
Google, my friend. You wanna look for a company with positive reviews and a proven track record in brush clearing. For example, we display our work here! An experienced contractor will save you tons of work and a heck of a headache later on.
Compare Methods and Equipment
Some companies rely on manual tools, while others bring huge equipment to the site. It’s all about finding a crew that specializes in what YOU actually need.
We offer so many brush and land clearing services and have worked on so many projects we might as well be the exception – but this is still a general rule.
