Land Clearing
There are many benefits to land clearing. Land clearing allows landowners to optimize full use of their property by thinning and removing trees, shrubs, brush, and other vegetation. The process of land clearing also prepares the land for various purposes such as construction projects, agricultural use, recreational activities, protection against fire danger and more. In deciding to clear your land, you create opportunities for land development such as, opening up areas to a build shop, detached garage, cabin, shed or a guest house. You also open the door for expanding farming operations or creating open spaces for recreational/family use which all maximize your properties potential.
FIRE DANGER: Here in the PNW, wildfires in Washington State can pose a significant threat to your property & home. Proper land clearing promotes fire safety and risk reduction through the process of creating firebreaks and reducing fuel loads which minimizes the risk of wildfires spreading and causing damage to your property as well as surrounding properties. Clearing overgrown vegetation around structures and power lines also promotes fire safety and protects property as well as livestock, pets and human lives. Furthermore, land clearing provides improved land management as well as a sense of environmental stewardship to not only the professionals performing the land clearing services but to the land owners as well. It is a win win for everyone involved, including the land itself!
Responsible land clearing practices include but are not limited to selective land clearing, tree thinning, proper disposal or spreading of cleared/mulched materials and control of invasive species which in turn, enhance wildlife habitats and promote a healthier ecosystem. Clearing land that has been overtaken by thick, dense and unsightly undergrowth, unwanted trees and berry stands allows landowners to restore balance to their properties, to better manage vegetation growth, and to promote sustainable overall land management and land use practices.
