Land clearing is a very demanding and high-energy activity that requires as much physical strength as it does mechanical and technological tools.
A typical land clearing job requires cutting trees and bushes, removing and grinding stubborn tree stumps, cleaning areas, and depleting zones them completely from vegetation. It also may require lifting tree trunks, rocks, and other debris that is as heavy as it is bulky.
All of this activity carries with it immense responsibilities and potential liabilities, as the human factor involved could get hurt at any time. This is the reason why hiring a professional land clearing crew is an essential decision. Yet, there is a lot more to it than just work and safety. Hiring a professional clearing team will make the difference between a good and a great job.
1. Training and Equipment
Companies that specialize in clearing and removal know how to work with sophisticated equipment that eases and speeds up the clearing process. The last thing you need is untrained hands to deal with potentially dangerous processes that involve obstructions of every kind.
Also, a professional crew has invested in its own company to offer clients the best service possible, complete with equipment that will guarantee the best finished product.
2. Bonding and Insurance
“A trained and licensed crew will be already insured and bonded from any potential accident that may occur to a crew member in your property as a result of the job that they are doing,” according to CSS Grading & Clearing. This is peace of mind for you and the assurance that the people working your land are focused on doing their job and feel safe doing it.
3. Knowledge
Land clearing is not an easy task. Those involved in this type of work are often fully knowledgeable about which strategies are best for different types of nature. Cutting, clearing, grinding and removing are separate processes that will require different time frames, levels of skill and tools.
A professional crew knows how to operate in a way that other things in nature do not become disturbed, such as extended tree roots, dead branches that may fall out of nowhere, or the intrusion of small objects (or animals) in the clearing process.
4. Debris
What do you do with a tree trunk that measures over 20 feet? Nothing. A professional land clearing crew will cut the tree into usable, smaller pieces that are easier to collect to keep the area clean after the project is finished. Crews also take care of blowing any leaves and leaving the area exactly like you want it.
Selecting a crew is entirely up to the level of complexity of your project. Keep in mind that, when you do go with a trained and licensed company, chances are that you will have more satisfaction once all is finished.
