How Land Clearing Can Help Me Keep My Lawn Better Maintained

Maintaining a beautiful, well-kept lawn is a goal for many homeowners, but oftentimes quality landscaping goes far beyond just mowing the lawn and watering plants. This is especially true for those who have a group of trees or a small, wooded area in or around the property. If you have a lot of trees, there is a good chance your property has also accumulated some brush and overgrowth due to falling twigs and branches. Areas of brush and trees can not only drag down the appearance of your landscaping, but they can even become hazards. Eliminating unwanted vegetation can make your life a lot easier.

Land clearing is the process of removing trees, brush, and vegetation from your property.  It can also include grading land so that it’s level and capable of supporting new development. When hiring a company to clear your lawn, they’ll leverage a wide range of equipment and vehicles to effectively eliminate unwanted plant growth and will leave you with a wide-open piece of land that can be used for anything you’d like. Clearing your land has many benefits and is a great way to keep your lawn in good condition. Here are a few reasons why:

1. Easier Yard Maintenance

If you have a wooded area with a lot of brush, you probably don’t know what to do with it. Keeping up with a wooded area means constantly picking-up sticks and other debris. Land covered in brush is also difficult to maintain, and it can quickly be overcome by weeds, which makes your yard look even less appealing. The brush and weeds will also continue to become increasingly larger over time, which can create quite an eyesore on your property.

By clearing out all the brush, overgrowth, and unwanted trees at once, your property will instantly become easier to manage. You’ll have fewer weeds, branches, and leaves to deal with, and because the remaining plants will have more access to sun and water, they’ll be easier to maintain.

2. Reduced Risk Of Rodents And Pests

Brush and undergrowth make for the perfect homes for rodents. Mosquitos and other insects also thrive in unmanaged brush where water can easily pool. Depending on the proximity to your home, these unwanted rodents and insects may surround your property, or worse, make their way inside. The best solution is to stop the problem at the source, and getting rid of the brush helps to eliminate rodents and pests from your property.

3. Decreased Risk Of Fire

Dead vegetation can be a major fire risk, especially during hot, dry summer months. An ember from a backyard fire can easily spark a disaster in your backyard. The last thing you want is fire damage to your property or to start a wildfire. Eliminating brush helps to keep your home, family, and nearby property safe.

4. Improved Health Of Remaining Trees

Overgrown areas can make it difficult for trees to thrive and grow healthy. Getting rid of brush and unwanted trees allows the remaining trees to get more water and sunlight. This in turn leads to better-looking and healthier trees. Clearing out your land also helps prevent disease and pests from spreading to your remaining trees as well. Some people may believe land clearing is bad for the environment, but clearing out dead or overgrown vegetation gives other plants an opportunity to grow. It also helps to improve soil health by redistributing nutrients

Land Clearing Ultimately Increases Your Property Value

Not only does land clearing make it easier to maintain your yard, but it also increases the value of your property. Wooded areas and heavy brush are unattractive, and clearing out the area can really enhance your curb appeal. It can also expand your useable property, which gives you the opportunity to do additional development or gardening. This will ultimately make your home more appealing to potential buyers.
