Lot Clearing vs Brush Clearing On Your Property

Lot Clearing is the process of removing trees, shrubs, and other vegetation from a designated area to make way for new construction, landscaping, or other purposes. This process not only ensures a clean, obstruction-free site but also helps in preventing potential hazards that may arise from unhealthy or unstable trees.

We offer a wide range of solutions to cater to the lot clearing needs for your property. Each project our team is involved with is carried out efficiently and safely while maintaining a strong commitment to environmental responsibility. Read on to hear more about the lot clearing services we offer:

When tree removal is necessary as a lot clearing service, our 3 step tree removal process includes:

Assessment: We first assess the trees on your property to determine the best method for removal while minimizing damage to the surrounding environment.
Safe Felling: Tree felling is the process of cutting down a tree using specialized techniques and equipment. Our team employs advanced techniques and equipment to safely fell trees, even in confined spaces or near structures.
Disposal: For all of our projects, we ensure that the removed trees are either responsibly recycled or disposed of according to local regulations.

Importance of Brush Clearing

Brush clearing is essential for several reasons:

Fire Prevention: Dense, overgrown vegetation can act as fuel for wildfires. Clearing brush helps create a defensible space around structures, reducing the risk of fire spreading to buildings.
Pest Control: Overgrown brush provides an ideal habitat for pests like rodents, insects, and ticks. Clearing brush can help minimize infestations and prevent diseases associated with these pests.
Improved Accessibility: Brush clearing makes it easier to navigate your property, whether you're walking, driving, or operating machinery.
Encouraging Healthy Growth: By removing invasive plants or those competing for resources, brush clearing can promote the growth of native species and create a more balanced ecosystem.

Our 5 Step Brush Clearing Process

Our brush clearing process typically involves the following steps:

Property Assessment: Our professional tree care team will evaluate your property to determine the scope of work, taking into consideration factors like the density and types of vegetation, terrain, and any specific concerns or objectives you may have.
Crafting a Plan: Based on the assessment, our team will develop a customized plan for your brush clearing project, ensuring efficient and thorough removal of unwanted vegetation.
Clearing: Using specialized equipment such as brush mowers, chainsaws, and hand tools, the team will systematically clear the designated area of overgrown vegetation, taking care not to damage desirable plants or trees.
Debris Removal: After the brush has been cleared, the team will remove and dispose of the debris responsibly, recycling or composting whenever possible.
Follow-up: In some cases, ongoing maintenance may be required to keep the cleared area free of unwanted vegetation, especially if invasive species are present. We always make sure to follow up with you after the project has been completed, to ensure you are satisfied with our services.

Stump Grinding

Stump grinding may be needed in the lot clearing process if a tree has been removed or if there are shrubs and bushes where a stump is left behind. We typically follow this 3 step process for stump removal:

Stump Evaluation: We will come out to your property and assess the size, species, and condition of the stump to determine the most efficient grinding method.
Grinding: Our team uses specialized equipment to grind the stump down below the surface, ensuring that the area is free of hazards and ready for new construction or landscaping.
Cleanup: After grinding, we clean up the area, removing any remaining wood chips or debris.
