If you are building a house on a new block of land, chances are that there will be some trees that you will need removed. This is called land clearing and you will need a professional to help you. Read on for more information.

Land clearing is clearing all or part of a block of land of trees so that building works can commence. These trees will need to be removed by an arborist or other tree specialist as they will make sure that the trees are correctly and safely removed. The trees will be removed using a variety of techniques and equipment such as directional felling, using excavators, using ropes and pulleys, using chainsaws to fell the tree in stages, and so on. The professional will look at the particular block and the type of trees that are on it in order to gauge the best method for clearing your land. Large or small blocks can be cleared easily.

Ensure that your tree specialist or arborist is fully qualified and licensed, and holds all of the necessary insurances, such as public liability insurance. This is a necessity in the slight chance that something does not go according to plan. You should get a quote for the removal of the trees and ask if that includes things such as stump grinding, wood chipping, mulching, or removal of the felled trees from the site.
