Do you have undeveloped land in Central Florida that you’d like to use for residential, commercial, or recreational purposes? Land clearing is often the first step. Due to its climate and landscapes, land clearing in Central Florida is a bit unique and requires localized experience. While there is significant development occurring across the area, the majority of land still consists of brush, oak trees, and vegetation. Land must be cleared before development can begin.
If you’re looking to utilize a piece of land, then we’ll tell you all about the importance of land clearing and what to expect when hiring an outdoor services company.
What Is Land Clearing?
Land clearing is the process of removing trees, stumps, brush, and vegetation from a particular area of land as well as doing any grading if necessary. Land clearing on any property typically requires an excavator and a front-end loader (at minimum). In addition to clearing the land, a good outdoor services company will work to ensure the land is safe for your intended use and eliminate any potential hazards.
The quality of a land clear can really make or break a development project – especially if you’re planning to build a home or a business on the lot. Inadequate clearing or improper grading can derail a project mid-construction. This is why land clearing is so important, and why the quality and experience of the company you hire to do the work matters. You don’t want to encounter any surprises down the road.
What To Expect When Hiring Land Clearing Services In Central Florida
If you have land that needs to be cleared, the first thing an outdoor services company will do is talk to you about how you intend to use the property. From there, they will then do a land assessment to identify the type of trees and vegetation that will need to be cleared during the process.
The company will also work with you to determine what types of permits may be needed per local county laws. For example, in Volusia County, a tree removal permit is needed to conduct land clearing, and there are also zoning rules that may prohibit the removal of trees in certain circumstances. As a result, it’s highly important to work with a company that knows the area and is familiar with local codes.
After the initial assessment, you should expect to receive a bid with a quote for the work. If you choose to move forward, the outdoor services company will likely need to store heavy machinery, such as excavators, bucket trucks, and chippers on the property for the duration of the project. They’ll go through the process of removing trees, stumps, vegetation, and brush as needed, and then will conduct a post-project assessment with you to ensure you’re satisfied with the work.
