How Land Clearing Services Are Offered

By Patricia Brown


Land is usually cleared to allow construction, mining or agricultural activities to be carried out. Clearing a landscape properly is crucial as far as the soil fertility is concerned. When in need of land clearing services, choose companies that use safe techniques. Diverse techniques can be used to cut vegetation on land and these include the following.

The most common methods of clearing landscapes include the cut and grind, pushover and burning methods. The pushover technique entails the use of construction equipment. In this technique, vegetation are hauled off and pushed over land with their roots intact. Once all vegetation are moved to one location, they are processed. The processed vegetation can be used for mulching or sold as cattle feed.

Expert clearers also cut down vegetation and then grind them with an objective of producing mulches. In this procedure, vegetation is cleared irrespective of its size and then hauled off to a precise location where it is grinded into fine mulches. The reason why most farmers adopt this method is to boost the soil fertility of their farms. Mulching also prevents water loss and increases nutrients in soil.

The controlled burning method can be adopted on fields that are to be used for construction activities. However, this method has dangerous implications on the health of people. For instance, when smoke produced from burning vegetation is inhaled, one may suffer from respiratory infections. Along these lines, when using this method to clear a field, wear protective gears such as gas masks and gloves.

Depending on landscape sizes, techniques that are implemented to clear them play a crucial role in maintaining the soil fertility. If you have a large field that should be cleared, look for an expert to conduct this job on your behalf. Cutting down the vegetation by yourself is quite time consuming and tiresome. Furthermore, expert clearers have the skill to cut down vegetation and comply with the state regulations regarding landscapes.

Landowners should remember that when plots are cleared, they are susceptible to soil erosion. This is because the top soil layer is left open and vulnerable to agents of soil erosion such as wind and water. If the plot is to be used for agriculture, it is advisable to commence farming early enough to minimize the possibilities of soil erosion.

In landscapes with vegetation that are eight inches long, the mulching technique should be adopted. This method involves using a mulch machine that knocks over small brushes and trees and grinds them completely into mulch. This type of service is usually offered by mulching companies. Speak to your neighbors, family and friends to find out if they know a person who owns or runs the machine.

Most farmers like introducing herbivores on fields with dense vegetation as a way of clearing them. They usually build strong fences all around the field and introduce cows or goats to eat the green plants. These herbivores are either left to walk freely or tied on strong pegs for them to feed well on the vegetation. This method is beneficial since the animals release fecal matter on the field that decomposes to boost soil fertility.
