Houston Texas Land Clearing
Land clearing in Houston Texas can be an intimidating undertaking, we are here to make your land clearing project as pain free as possible. It’s no shock that Houston is one of the fastest growing areas in the USA and as such the demand for land clearing has sky rocketed.
When it comes to land clearing services we offer everything from start to finish. Why would you want to clear your land, well here are a few reasons our customers choose to clear their land.
Invasive species control is essential as there are over 150 non-native, invasive plant species in Texas that can have devastating effects on the natural ecosystem if not managed. These plants may use up vital resources in the area by aggressively out-competing native flora and fauna, blocking other plants from sunlight, or depleting the area of nutrients with their root systems. To protect vulnerable native plants from these invasive species, regular clearing of non-native plants is necessary.
Right-of-way and Utility Easements are also necessary for the installation of overhead television, telephone, or electric wires, or for underground cables and pipes. Because of the large area, these wires and pipes need to cover, quick and efficient land clearing is essential. Easements may be required for a new subdivision or development, or for building a home in a rural area with no utilities.
Road clearing and maintenance is an essential part of the construction of new roads and highways, as land must be cleared of plants and flattened before the foundation is laid. On-going land clearing is also important for road maintenance. Overgrown areas near a road can cause poor visibility and attract animals, such as deer, due to the protective cover of the plants and/or available food.
Fire prevention is also important. Creating a wide dirt perimeter (fireline) around your property or a vulnerable environmental area is an effective way to protect it from a potential fire. Land clearing is beneficial in areas where forest fires are common and mulch versus burning is always the safest option.
Hunting access paths can be cleared to easily access a hunting ground or deer stand, while still minimizing disruption to the surrounding cover.
Foot, bike, and horse trails should also be well-marked and well-cleared to ensure the safety of hikers, bikers, and riders. We can clear new trails or maintain old ones that have been blocked by fallen trees or overtaken by invasive species. Properly clearing and maintaining trails can help ensure that all users are able to find their way and will not be put in danger due to poor visibility or other obstacles.
What types of machines are used to clear land in Houston Texas?
Forestry Mulcher
Forestry mulchers are best used when brush and trees need to be removed quickly and you are not building on the area where you are clearing. This is the most eco friendly and oftentimes the most cost effective way of clearing land.
Bulldozer
Bulldozers are great for clearing land in Houston Texas where structures will be placed. Since a foundation is required for a structure a bulldozer will get the entire root system of the tree out of the ground. The con here is the will be massive amounts of soil disturbance and oftentimes erosion control plans, and clearing permits are required.
Excavator
Much like the bulldozer the excavator is used to dig out larger trees to prep for construction. While the excavator is very precise it is the slower of the two than the bulldozer.
Skid Loader
Effective at clearing out areas with smaller trees and brush. The skid loader is great for small jobs but falls off very quickly as jobs and trees get larger.
Horizontal Grinder
Used to grind up material after being cleared by a skid loader, bulldozer, or excavator. Alternatively, a forestry mulcher can be used to grind up tree piles as well.
