Why Choose a Professional Land Clearing Service?

Visibility and landscape balancing with ponds

Power and utility line maintenance

How Does Land Clearing Affect the Environment?

Land clearing can have a negative impact on the environment, but it can be managed responsibly. The negative effects include displacing wildlife, disrupting natural habitats, increasing soil erosion and runoff, and even altering local water cycles and drainage patterns. However, responsible land clearing practices can help mitigate these effects.

Knowing these risks, our team implements environmentally conscious approaches that minimize negative impacts while achieving your land clearing objectives. We use strategies such as erosion control measures and sustainable clearing methods like forestry mulching. By balancing the need for land development with environmental stewardship, we strive to ensure that your project is carried out in a way that respects and protects the surrounding ecosystem.

Does Clearing Land Increase Property Value?

Clearing land can often increase property value, though the extent of this increase depends on various factors. The benefits of land clearing include improved aesthetics, as cleared land typically appears more appealing and well-maintained. It also creates more usable space for development or recreation, enhancing the property's potential and making it more attractive to developers or buyers looking to build.

Additionally, removing obstructive vegetation can reveal more appealing views, further boosting the property's appeal. However, the actual value increase is influenced by local real estate market conditions, zoning regulations, the property's intended use, and the quality and method of clearing employed.

What to Expect During the Land Clearing Process?

Our land clearing process typically involves the following:

Initial consultation and site assessment
Development of a clearing plan tailored to your needs
Obtaining necessary permits and approvals
Marking areas to be cleared and those to be preserved
Clearing operations using appropriate methods and equipment
Debris management (mulching, removal, etc.)
Implementation of erosion control measures if needed
Final site inspection and clean-up

Throughout the process, we emphasize clear communication, safety, and minimal disruption to surrounding areas. Our team will keep you informed at every stage, ensuring the project meets your expectations.

How Much Does Land Clearing Cost?

The cost of a land clearing job will depend on the size and scope of the project. Some factors that can affect the cost include the number of trees to be cleared, the type and height of the trees, the type of equipment used to clear the land, and the time needed to complete the project.

At Big Dave's Tree Service, we understand that cost is a significant consideration for our clients. That's why we offer competitive rates and work with you to develop a solution that fits your budget. We offer comprehensive assessments and inspections to evaluate your needs and provide an accurate estimate.

So no matter what kind of project you have in mind, we can help you find the perfect solution to your needs.

Are You Required to Acquire a Land Clearing Permit?

The need for a land clearing permit depends on the location and project scope. In many areas, a permit is required before any significant vegetation or tree removal can take place. Permit acquisition ensures the work complies with local environmental regulations and zoning laws.

Failing to obtain the necessary permits will result in hefty fines or even the halting of the project, so it’s crucial to address this step early on. We are familiar with local permit requirements and can assist in the permit acquisition process.

What’s the Best Way to Clear Land With Trees?

When dealing with heavily wooded or forested land, the most effective approach is often a combination of mechanical and manual techniques.

Here are the most common methods of land clearing:

Bulldozing/Pushover

Powerful bulldozers and excavators are used to push over and remove large trees, stumps, and other obstacles. This is a quick and effective method, but it can potentially damage the topsoil if not done carefully.

Cut and Grind

This involves cutting down vegetation and trees and then using specialized equipment like mulchers and brush mowers to grind them into fine mulch. This approach is well-suited for properties with less dense tree coverage.

Pulling/Pullover

This process involves attaching chains to the vegetation and using tractors or other machinery to pull the trees and stumps out of the ground. It requires specialized equipment and can be more labor-intensive than other techniques.

Excavation

Heavy machinery, such as excavators, is employed to dig up and remove large obstacles such as trees, rocks, and other obstacles. This is a practical approach for challenging terrain and large-scale land clearing projects.

How To Select a Suitable Land Clearing Method for Your Property

Choosing the right clearing method depends on several factors, including:

Property size and terrain
Vegetation type and density
Environmental considerations
Budget constraints
Intended use of the cleared land

Our experts will assess your property and project goals to recommend the most appropriate and cost-effective clearing method. We’re well-versed in all the common land-clearing methods and will present you with many options.

What Happens After Clearing Trees From Land?

Once the land has been cleared of trees and other vegetation, the next step will be responsibly managing the resulting debris. Rather than simply hauling away the residual trees and brush to a landfill, these natural materials can be recycled and reused.

Here are a few typical tree recycling disposal and recycling methods:

Chipping or mulching the woody debris on-site.
Creating a nutrient-rich ground cover that can be left behind to enrich the soil.
Larger tree trunks and stumps may be repurposed as lumber or firewood.

Recycling debris from land clearing not only reduces waste but can be very effective at improving your landscape and helping plants grow and remain disease-free.
