Winter Land Clearing Services

Before you hire a land clearing professional to work on your property, there are a few basics you should be prepared with. To get the most accurate estimate, you’ll want to provide your land clearing contractor with details including:

• Where you want a traditional land clearing or Forestry Mulching method
• Amount of land to be cleared
• Project specifications and scope
• Unusual qualities of the land
• Any structures on the land
• Number of trees if having them removed
• Obtain any permits needed
• Establish your budget

It’s also always a good idea to ask land clearing companies what kind of experience and license they have, the safety precautions the company will take while working on your land, and if there is anything you need to do to prep your land before it gets worked on. 

The process for land clearing can vary from business to business, but in general, the process involves:

1. Request an Estimate from professional land clearing companies
2. Discuss budget, the scope of work, and scheduling
3. Secure any needed permits
4. Mark any trees that you want to keep
5. Clear away any unwanted structures on the property
6. Remove large rocks and other standing debris, such as fallen limbs or trees
7. Finally, remove the unwanted trees and vegetation from the land
8. Make sure that the property is usable by filling in any holes or grading the land where needed

Forestry Mulching is a different method of land clearing that uses a single machine to cut and grind trees and other plants on your property. It’s a more cost-effective method than using a chainsaw or bulldozer and causes less stress to your property. This method also reduces the amount of waste that needs to be hauled away after a project is done because the trees and brush are turned into mulch that stays on the land.

Aside from being a much more affordable option than other methods of land clearing, Forestry Mulching is more beneficial for a number of reasons.

The most obvious reason is that it creates a natural mulch in the process that improves the quality of the soil by creating an organic, nutrient-rich mulch from the trees that are cut down. 

Additionally, this method is eco-friendly, can be performed on just about any type of terrain, and is typically quicker than other types of land clearing.
