Protect what should remain

Not every clearing project is intended to remove all vegetation.

Before work begins, identify:

  • Trees that must remain
  • Orchard rows or crops
  • Irrigation lines
  • Wells and septic areas
  • Fences
  • Utility routes
  • Desired screening vegetation
  • Property boundaries
  • Drainage areas
  • Sensitive or protected areas

Marking these features helps prevent the project from becoming broader than intended.

Managing material after clearing

Possible options include:

  • Chipping branches
  • Mulching vegetation in place
  • Hauling green waste
  • Creating approved piles
  • Using chips in selected areas
  • Separating nonorganic debris
  • Scheduling later disposal

Ask the provider to state the planned finish in the estimate. "Clearing" does not automatically mean that every piece of material will be removed from the property.

FAQ

Can clearing be performed near orchard areas?
Yes, but irrigation, roots, crop access and retained vegetation should be identified before machinery enters the area.
What if the property has both brush and mature trees?
The project may require more than one capability. Include tree sizes and photos so the request can be routed appropriately.
Can forestry mulch remain on the property?
Often, although its placement and depth should be discussed before work begins.
Can a provider clear only selected portions of acreage?
Yes. Mark priority areas on photos, a parcel map or an aerial image when possible.
Do local chipping programs replace professional clearing?
Community programs may help process eligible material after it has been cut and staged, but they may not perform the actual clearing or handle every type of debris.
