How To Benefit From Land Clearing Services

By Patricia Brown


Land can be cleared to pave way for an agricultural or construction activity. Irrespective of the role in which the landscape is going to play, clearing it properly matters a lot. Land clearing services usually involve the removal of vegetation from a landscape. With respect to the purpose, location and size of a particular plot, clearing requires the use of technical equipment. The following are the methods in which landscapes are cleared.

Common methods people use to clear vegetation involve burning, cutting, grinding and pushover. The pushover mechanism is quite technical since it relies on a specialized construction machine. In this mechanism, green plants are cut, pushed over and hauled off. This procedure is carried out by ensuring that plant roots remain intact. Once the procedure is complete, cut grass is pushed to a location where it is processed.

The cutting and grinding method begins with indiscriminately cutting down plants that are found on a landscape. The cut plants are hauled to one location while stumps are left on the ground. The major distinction between this method and pushover technique is that stumps left on the ground are used to specifically produce mulches.

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.
