I have a heavily wooded lot of 5 acres that I would like to clear about an acre of for a home, what are my options? First of all, make sure that you are willing to loose all of those trees. Planning the site before construction is vital. Trees don't deal well with the stress brought on by construction so if there are some prized trees on that lot you want to clear, be sure to mark them & make it very clear to your builder that you do not want the root zone of those vital trees disturbed. Each site has factors such as location & accessibility. It might be possible to take down these trees & then use one of our large mobile tub grinders to mulch up the debris. This method would be relatively quick. If the location won't allow large equipment, then you are looking at a tree crew coming & working for perhaps several days in order to take down the trees & chip them up with a smaller machine called a chipper. I would suggest you phone our office at 636-379-1830 & request a consultation with an arborist before you begin this building process to ensure that you are going to be able to save the trees that you want to & that the rest of your clearning project can be managed in an efficient & professional manner. |
