Land & Lot Clearing

Dunbar Tree Service provides high-quality lot clearing services. Land and lot clearing is a crucial step in various construction and development projects. One of the most important aspects of this process is tree removal, which must be carried out efficiently and responsibly to ensure the safety of workers and the preservation of the environment. Whether you are planning to build a new home, expand your commercial property, or simply enhance the aesthetics of your land, it’s essential to understand the best practices and considerations involved in this process. From assessing the site to the actual tree removal techniques and safety measures, Dunbar Tree Service has you covered.

Full or Partial Lot Clearing 

While a full clearing is useful for land development projects such as building a home or business or making space for crops on a farm, sometimes a partial clearing is all you need. Partial lot clearing is useful for projects ranging from clearing pastures, thinning thick forests, clearing roadways or driveways, removing debris after a storm, or simply creating a better view. An arborist can help determine which is the best option for your property with a site assessment.

Site Assessment 

Before embarking on any tree removal project, a thorough site assessment is crucial. We start by assessing the site and identifying the trees that need removal. We consider factors like tree species, size, health, and proximity to structures. One priority is looking for trees that are in danger of failing in the next high wind storm. Overall this assessment helps in creating a detailed removal plan tailored to the specific needs of the lot. Understanding the site’s unique characteristics such as tree types, effects on wildlife, and soil erosion, is fundamental to planning the tree removal process effectively. 

Permits and Regulations

Be sure to check local and state regulations regarding tree removal before beginning any project. It is important to obtain the required permits and adhere to any specific guidelines. Failure to do so can result in legal consequences and fines. If needed, you can consult with an arborist.

It is also considerate to notify neighbors of your tree removal plans to maintain good relations and address any concerns, especially for trees near a property line.

Safety Measures

Safety is paramount. There are many reasons to choose an arborist for lot clearing. Arborists meticulously plan the tree removal process to minimize risks to workers and surrounding property. They are also trained in the use of proper safety gear, using industrial vehicles, and following industry-standard safety protocols. They will cater the process to your specific situation, ensuring the project is completed in the safest and most efficient way possible.

Lot Clearing Techniques 

Every land and lot clearing project is unique and removal should be catered to each property owner’s needs. Arborists are qualified in many areas of arboriculture, including being skilled in using a variety of tree removal techniques, from traditional chainsaw cutting to more complex methods involving heavy machinery. It’s important to select the most appropriate technique based on the lot’s size, location, and the surrounding environment.
