Land clearing can be a big undertaking, but you’ll be able to tackle the project with help from us at Vickery Lawn Service, Land Clearing, and Stump Grinding. Land clearing is most often done for development purposes, but it has some environmental and monetary benefits also.
One of the main ways land clearing is helpful is in getting rid of pests. Overgrown areas with dense plant life attract pests such as mosquitos and termites. It can also harbor wildlife you may not want on your land, such as snakes, rodents, and squirrels. Clearing out the underbrush removes the breeding ground for pests and the shelter for unwanted and potentially dangerous animals.
Tree-filled areas may seem harmless but it’s important to check for diseased and dying plants. A dying tree often looks fine on the outside but can be extremely dangerous if it’s not removed, as it could fall when people are nearby. Sick trees and plants can easily spread their disease to other vegetation, creating an area that might become a health hazard. Dead trees and undergrowth become dry and can be like kindling for a fire. Land clearing can remove these hazards to keep disease from spreading and prevent fires.
Letting an overgrown swath of land continue to propagate can lead to it getting out of control. It may become more difficult to do any type of land clearing, meaning it would be more costly for you when you do clear it. Overgrown areas can also be unattractive and decrease your property value.
