If you're beginning a construction project or simply want unsightly obstructions on your property removed, the first step is clearing the land. Professionals use a variety of tools to accomplish this task. DeCoite Tree Service, based in Makawao, HI, provides land clearing service throughout Maui and shares the most common machines employed as well as what they’re used for.

Mower or Mulcher

Mowers are especially useful for clearing large portions of underbrush. Whether the area you're working with is large or small, mowers are the perfect tool for getting a start on your land clearing project. Mulchers also clear the land of brush and smaller trees, but they additionally convert the underbrush into mulch without damaging the soil underneath.

Bulldozer

For large projects, bulldozers are the best option for the job. This equipment is typically used to remove trees, shrubs, boulders, and other large debris. In addition, if you have a job — such as building a home — that involves digging to lay a foundation, a bulldozer can easily remove topsoil.

Stump Grinder

These are especially useful if your land clearing project involves a large number of trees. Stump grinders can effortlessly remove unsightly, hazardous stumps so you can work with a fresh space for gardening or building.
