How To Benefit From Land Clearing Services

By Patricia Brown


Clearing of land can be conducted in several ways to allow agricultural, mining or construction activities to transpire. When fields are cleared well, soil fertility and soil compaction are boosted. Land clearing services allow vegetation to be cut down in a safe and professional manner. When seeking these services, consider the following factors.

The common methods that most professional clearers use include the burning, pushover and cutting and grinding methods. The pushover method involves using a construction machine to push over and haul off vegetation with their plant roots intact. After vegetation are cleared, they are precisely moved onto a central location and then processed. The processed plants are used to produce mulches for agricultural use or hay for cattle feeds.

The cut and grind technique commences with cutting down vegetation found on a particular landscape. These green plants are then moved to a central processing location. The main difference between this technique and the pushover one is that stumps are usually left lying on the ground. The stumps are ground to 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 where vegetation has grown to a height of eight inches, mulching machines can come in handy. These machines are designed to cut green plants as well as grinding them into small mulches. They are difficult to operate hence operated by skilled and licensed individuals. Companies that offer such services are found in several cities. One effective way of accessing their services is by looking for their contacts on telephone directories.

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.
