A Step-By-Step Guide to Land Clearing: What to Expect During Your Service [infographic]

Land clearing is a key step in the journey towards preparing your land for a wide range of uses, from industrial development to agricultural purposes to building your first home. Here at Snead’s Outdoor Services, we’ve made it our goal to ensure the land clearing process is as smooth as possible, and we find it helpful for everyone if our customers know what to expect from the service. Here’s a quick guide to the basic steps involved in land clearing.

1. Site Assessment – The first thing we do is schedule a convenient time for a member of our team to perform a thorough site assessment. This will include evaluating features like the lot size, terrain, vegetation types, and obstacles such as large trees, rocks, or existing structures. The site evaluation helps us determine the most effective land clearing method and helps shape the estimate we provide you.
2. Planning & Permitting – Once we have a clearer lay of the land, we’ll get to work on planning out the best method of clearing everything. We’ll also start working on acquiring the necessary permits to ensure everything complies with applicable environmental regulations, zoning laws, and safety codes.
3. Clearing – Now, the real work begins in earnest. Depending on the property, this may involve removing trees, shrubs, and brush, and our team may use a wide range of equipment, such as bulldozers and skid steers.
4. Debris Removal – After the clearing, we can haul away any remaining debris and dispose of it responsibly.
5. Final Inspection – Once the land has been cleared, we will do one last inspection to ensure everything meets your expectations. If you need grading or leveling services, we can handle those tasks as well.
