How to Clear Land Debris

Clearing land debris prepares a plot of raw land for a construction project. To complete your project, you may have to enlist heavy machinery and training in land clearing techniques so that you can safely complete the removal. Once you have obtained proper permits and documentation, assess the landscape with inspectors and contractors to plan how to properly clear materials and debris.

Instructions

    • 1

      Inspect the amount of debris and unwanted materials on your land. An independent contractor or inspector can give you an assessment of your property at a small cost.

    • 2

      Complete training for the heavy machinery and other equipment that you will use while clearing the debris from your land. If you hire contractors to clear the land, you may not need formal training, but it will prove useful to know about the safety and precautions associated with heavy machinery.

    • 3

      Hire a raw land clearing team if the task is too large or intensive to complete on your own. Obtain price quotes from several local companies.

    • 4

      Clear the debris from your land using appropriate clearing methods. Stumping, grubbing, and piling are use in clearing trees. Use a bulldozer with blades two to three feet from the surface of the ground to knock over trees and to push out roots and stumps.
