What is Involved With Land Clearing
If you’ve recently purchased raw land in the Eureka Springs, Arkansas area, chances are you have a little bit of land development to do. Whether that’s clearing a path for a driveway, excavating, or leveling for an eventual home residence, you may need to do a bit of land clearing to get the job done.
What is land clearing?
The process of land clearing involves clearing out trees, brush, debris, and any other obstacles in order to use the cleared land for agricultural purposes, to install infrastructure, build a home, or any other land usage needs.
Most uncleared lots in the Eureka Springs, AR area are wooded, include underbrush, and rocks of various sizing are buried just under the surface. Depending on the specific lot, land clearing can involve the use of heavy machinery such as excavators, bulldozers, stump grinders and more.
What should be done before starting a land clearing project?
Inspect your land thoroughly. Walk through your property and mark off the area(s) you’d like to clear. Consider how you will be using the cleared land to determine if you have enough space marked off. Also, consider if there are trees in the area that you’d like to avoid removing and decide whether or not you’d like to make adjustments to your plans accordingly.
The other thing to consider is if your ultimate project, whether it is plans for a building or agricultural use, will need a permit. Contact local code enforcement to find out if your project will need a permit or will need to meet certain code standards.

How is land clearing done?
Your land clearing crew will arrive with the appropriate machinery to remove trees, bushes, shrubbery, and rocks. Unless specified otherwise, anything in the area that needs to be cleared will be removed. Trees are either knocked over and uprooted, or pulled out depending on their size. For larger trees, you may need to hire a tree service for removal.
What other things should I consider when having my land cleared?
The other thing to consider when undertaking a land clearing project is where to put the downed trees and shrubbery. Once trees come down, you’ll need to discuss with your land clearing crew if they can dispose of them, or arrange for a spot on your property for them to leave debris. Often times removal will incur extra fees if your land clearing crew offers this service.
