Before land clearing it may be necessary to check all zoning regulations and bylaws regarding land clearing or construction. This is the responsibility of the land owner, not the land clearing company unless otherwise indicated in the contract. A call to the city or county manager is usually all that is needed.

Land clearing can be a huge job, depending on how much space you want to clear and the size of the trees and brush. While it may seem like a simple project, there is often a need for specialized equipment such as bulldozers, backhoes and even timber clearing equipment.

If you are considering hiring land clearing professional be sure to talk to a variety of companies and get estimates and time lines established before deciding which company to use. The company should be willing to work with you on completion dates, costs and possible over budget issues.
