Why You Need an Earthmoving Contractor to Clear Your Property
When you bought your property, you may have left part of the land uncleared. This is especially true if you bought in a more rural area or purchased homestead property. When you decide to have the property cleared, you may think you can do this on your own or with a small landscape company. The truth is, you may want to consider an earthmoving contractor instead. Here are a few reasons why you need an earthmoving contractor to clear your property and what to know about each reason.
Clearing Stumps
One of the leading issues you will have is with clearing tree stumps and roots. When it is just one stump, your or a small landscape company can likely handle this yourself. However, if you are clearing several acres, you will have many stumps and roots to clear. This requires the proper equipment to break down, grind and pull out the stumps. An earthmoving company can clear the stumps and rootwork quickly. This will leave you with the empty and cleared land area free of debris or roots that may wrap around plumbing or cause damage to anything you want to put in the roots' place.
Leveling Land
You can clear the land yourself. You can rent the tools and equipment you need. The problem is, once the land is cleared, you are left with holes from stumps and other natural debris. You are also left with uneven land that can become an issue when you start to place grass, buildings, or foundations for sheds and storage. When you use an earthmoving contractor, they can bring in fill dirt, move dirt from other areas, and level out the land to make an even property area for you to work with. They can also do this with equipment that can work larger areas of property than a traditional option you could use.
Digging Services
You may have an idea to place an in-ground pool or underground rainwater system on the property. Earthmoving contractors can come in with larger equipment and dig the holes or trenches for any in ground option you want to have placed. The can also smooth out the holes and trenches to make sure they are ready for pools, pipes or tanks to be placed. If you have a unique design you need, they can help with that as well.
When you are ready to move forward with the land clearing, contact your earthmoving contractor. They can schedule a consultation and visit the property. This will let them know how they need to proceed, how long to schedule for the land clearing, and the equipment they will need for the job. They can also answer pricing questions you have at this time.
