With the recent shift in the real estate market, a substantial number of properties have changed hands. And it seems that when the “perfect” property comes on the market, it’s gone before you can even act on it.
So what happens when you are looking for land for new construction (for personal or commercial use), and all that’s left is wooded land? Keep reading to learn how to turn that raw, uncleared property into the piece of land you’ve been looking for.

Forestry Mulching
Forestry mulching is a great way to clear out unwanted trees and vegetation. During the mulching process, trees are removed, stumps are ground down to the land’s surface, and the undergrowth is “mowed” down. What’s left is a natural, organic mulch left to protect the ground.
Land Grading
After you’ve had all of the unwanted trees and other vegetation removed, your next step will be to have the land graded. Land grading is the process of changing the land's surface to level the ground or create a slope. It helps with water drainage, smoothing the land, and creating an even slope for paving surfaces.
Dirt Work
Dirt work is essential when improving land for building. This can include grading, excavation, and pad prep. To the untrained eye, these processes may just look like grown adults playing in the dirt! But for construction professionals, it’s the foundation for any new project.
These activities are only a part of how to clear land for construction. If you’ve found the perfect piece of land for your dream construction project and need help prepping it for construction, let Honest Land Clearing and Excavation help.
