To maximize the potential of undeveloped land, the construction process begins with land clearing. Removing trees, shrubs, and debris creates a clean slate for your commercial project. Learn more about the common methods to help determine which will suit your needs.

3 Ways to Clear Land

1. Cut & Grind

The cut and grind method works best on properties with only a few trees. Professionals first remove ground-level brush and debris with bulldozers and process them with grinders and mulchers. Next, trees are removed manually with chainsaws or larger equipment, and heavy machinery will dig up stumps and large rocks. Mulch can be spread across the property to feed and improve the soil, while larger debris is hauled away.

2. Pushover & Pullover

Pushover land clearing involves plowing over trees and brush with a bulldozer to remove everything at the roots so there’s no chance of it growing back. The machines then fill the holes to create a level building surface. 

Pullover clearing works the opposite way. Large tractors and bulldozers pull trees down with long chains. This technique is better if you want to preserve and sell the wood to a lumber company.

3. Grubbing

Tree root systems and half-buried boulders get left behind on many sites after surface clearing and may compromise construction. Grubbing is the process of removing these obstructions. Builders can then easily run underground utility lines, install a septic system, or landscape without worrying about running into roots. Since root systems can be wide and deep and boulders can weigh thousands of pounds, land clearing professionals use heavy machinery for the job.
