Facts And Information About Land Clearing Houston

By Betty Murray


Land clearing involves more than just the removal of trees and other forms of vegetation in a given area to pave way for other uses. Because of the increased regulations on the activity, the technique must be done responsibly and will involve removal of obstacles like stumps, trees and bushes. Stones may also be included in removal. When it comes to land clearing Houston residents should consider various factors.

The fact that clearance of land needs some kind of equipment means one must obtain the right tools. This is the only way the job will be efficiently done. Each equipment should be studies before being used so that you know how to use them. It will prevent accidents during use. Those without the right tools or do not know how to use them may have to hire professionals.

The property to be cleared will need to be surveyed first. The survey helps to know the types of vegetation present. There are trees with more value than others. In case the trees to be cleared have a lot of value, they can be sold for income. When one hires a company to do the clearing without knowing the values of various trees, they are likely to lose potential income. The survey comes at an extra cost but may be worth it.

You will need to talk to the authorities about the property. In some cases, not all property owners are permitted to clear land. Such properties will need permits and paper works before being cleared. This is will prevent one from getting into trouble with the law. For people looking to do the work on their own, there should be a systematic approach. Trees should be cut in an organized manner.

There are many techniques used in clearing land. The cut and grind method begins with tree cutting. In majority of the cases, trees cut will be moved into a given location to be processed. The stumps will be left behind to be ground into mulch. Besides that, the stumps can be pulled out through the use of construction machinery.

In the past, most people embraced burning as the most convenient method of land clearing because it was very cheap. It was however known to lead to many cases of fires, which is why it has been outlawed in most places. People who cannot afford to hire excavating firms for clearing land could use the backhoe. It is cheaper. It should come with a front end loader, with a rake and fork. The rake clears small objects, the loader is used for purposes of digging while the fork is used for transport. The rake must be used cautiously so that soil is not destroyed.

Mulching is considered as the best alternative to the traditional land clearing methods. It is easier, cheaper and faster. It also does not create large piles of refuse. Even more importantly, it does not involve chemical use and does not cause destruction to top soil.

Newer designs of mulching machinery do not put too much pressure on the soil. Rather than disturb soil, they enrich it using mulch that results from chipping up stumps and trees. It is a popular technique.
