Land Clearing

Land Clearing for New Construction in Florida

WHY SHOULD I CLEAR MY LAND?

When it comes to large properties and acreages, years can go by without proper maintenance. This may not seem like a problem to many people, but debris, dead plant life, and sprawling overgrowth can cause serious issues on your property. Not only are you at risk for several damaging and expensive problems, but the longer you leave these problems unattended, the more expensive it will be to return your land to its optimal value.



On the other hand, land clearing can revitalize the way your property looks and dramatically increase its value. When considering land clearing or land management services, it’s important to keep in mind all of the specific risks and benefits. If you have any questions, the experts at Southeast Fores And Land Management would love to hear from you.

Clearing Land Makes Your Property Healthier

Invasive plants steal nutrients and water from the trees you want growing on your land. Trees that don’t have to fight with weeds, vines, and dense undergrowth grow faster, stronger, and stay healthier. Just as importantly, overgrown and unattended land breeds diseases and attracts pests that can cause real damage. Dying and rotting wood from fallen trees, old stumps, and old plant life breeds diseases that can infect your healthy trees and spread through your land and onto neighboring properties. This dead wood can also attract termites and similar infestations that can severely damage the long term health, beauty, and profitability of your land. Leaving your land to grow wild can have you facing unexpected risks and expenses.



On the other hand, clearing your land and turning the unwanted debris into wood chips and mulch is great for the health of your property. Not only is mulching a healthy and affordable way to add nutrients to your soil, but it’s an environmentally friendly solution to the problems associated with overgrown land.

CLEARING LAND MAKES IT MUCH SAFER​

One of the most serious risks with cluttered, overgrown, and uncared for land is fire. The dead trees, thick undergrowth, and incredibly dense plant life make both the start and spread of a fire much more likely. Not only would a fire threaten the surrounding area, creating the potential for loss of life and extreme damage to property, but it would dramatically decrease the value of your land. Income from logging, real estate, hunting, and tourism becomes difficult after a fire has destroyed your property. At a minimum, clearing debris and brush around any structures or buildings on your property is a critical part of any fire safety plan. 



Fire isn’t the only hazard caused by overgrown and uncared for land. Dead trees and branches falling at unexpected times can cause serious harm to you or your guests. The dangers of personal harm and expensive law suits aren’t worth the risk. This is especially true when considering that land clearing and management isn’t only about preventing potential problems, it’s also about the numerous benefits.

ROOT RAKING

Sometimes, clearing the vegetation off the land isn’t enough for your needs. When you want to use the land for a specific purpose or you want to build on the land, roots from trees and large brush need to be removed from the soil. Our root raking machines will remove roots and large debris from your land while leaving the soil behind so you can move on with your project.

RIGHT OF WAY (ROW) CLEARING AND MAINTENANCE

Right of Way clearance is critical, but often overlooked. Lots of problems can be caused by tree and plant growth in areas that need to remain clear. For public utilities and pipelines, tree roots can cause expensive and potentially dangerous damage. Brush growth and tall grasses can also make maintenance and repair attempts difficult and slow. Repair crews would have a hard time locating and working on utilities and pipelines hidden under overgrown vegetation. ROW clearing helps to solve these problems and keeps service costs lower by allowing quick, easy access to important areas.



Southeast Forest and Land Management can work with you to create a schedule that meets your needs and your budget. Our experts understand growth cycles and environmental circumstances that control the frequency needed to maintain open and clear ROW. A regular service schedule keeps your budget safe and predicable.
