Land and Lot Equipment: Clearing Real Estate Properties
The correct equipment to get a job done is essential in this business. Lot and land clearing equipment being no exception. That is why we’ve invested in the newest purchases for clearing properties of scrub trees, debris without damaging the soils surface. Our environmental approach saves the complexities of the earth’s soil without compacting, leaving a nice surface on which to plant or build.
Our machinery includes the Woodsman 18x chipper with winch and drag loader. It is a 175 horsepower and is extremely productive with a wide variety of options. We are able to use it while doing tree trimming and removal, site development and lot clearing or curbside cleanup. It’s capabilities allow us to handle tree diameters up to 18 inches. The hydraulic winch makes moving tree trunks a snap and saves back labor, time and money.

Lot and Land Clearing Bidding Process and Questions to Consider
Before land clearing, some considerations have to be in place before a contractor and crew start clearing. When hiring a landscape contractor ask yourself these questions in order to clarify what exactly you want them to do. You will be better prepared to compare apples with apples in the lot and land clearing and bidding process. Each landscape contractor may have a different vision for what a lot should look like afterwards but may not measure up to your expectations. Consider these factors in the bidding process:
- What do you want the lot to look like when it’s cleared? (Having photos of

other cleared lots will help explain your vision.)
- Do you have valuable timber on your property and do you need to contact a lumber broker for resale?
- What happens with the trees, debris and large stone after clearing? Is it hauled away, piled out of site or burned?
- What about drainage on the site? Do you have any or anticipate any potential drainage issues?
- Are there zoning, HOA covenants, restrictions or permits required before the job can start?

- Are there view scapes to consider and how will they be cut out?
