Enlarge Your Yard By Reclaiming Land From Overgrowth
You may love the woods around your home when you first buy the property. The wooded area provides scenic views and privacy as well. However, you may later realize that overgrown property has its disadvantages too. It puts your house at a higher risk of fire damage, and the overgrowth provides cover for problem animals and insects. You're even limited in what you can do on the land since you can't use it for gardening or in a pool area. The solution is to have part of the land cleared so that there is more space around your home for doing things you enjoy. Here's what you can expect.
Land Clearing Removes Trees
Trees can be removed by hand or by machine depending on the number of them and their size. If the trees are far enough from your house, they might be removed by machine since it is quicker and easier. You can still save a few trees for shade if you want. The stumps and roots are removed as well so that they don't pose problems later on if you install a pool or want to till up the soil.
Brush Is Mulched And Removed
Brush is easy to remove with the right machinery. A large mulching machine cuts down small trees and all manner of growth, so all vegetation is removed from the area. Mulch can be left in place to enrich the soil or hauled away as you prefer. It would take intensive labor and many hours of work to clear overgrowth by hand, but the work goes fast when you hire a land clearing service.
Rocks Are Pulled Out
Your lot might have large boulders or big rocks embedded in it. These could pose a problem later if you plan to build on the land you're having cleared. The land clearing service removes these too so all that's left in the area is a bare lot of soil, so you can use it how you want.
Debris Is Hauled Away
One huge problem you face when clearing land is how to get rid of trees and rocks. If you have a lot of land, you might store them on your own property, but if you want them gone, then the land clearing service will haul them off. This is a better solution than burning trees and vegetation you want to get rid of. Burning it might even be prohibited in your area.
In addition to clearing the land, you may need added services such as grading the lot, so it drains properly and adding topsoil. When the work is complete, you'll have a patch of land reclaimed from the woods that you can add to your yard for family fun or to build on. The expense for clearing the land varies depending on the number of trees, the size of the job, and if there are rocks or other complications. However, the price is worth it to get usable land from the woods and overgrowth.
