Land Clearing

If you have a large construction project coming up soon, then land clearing has probably crossed your mind as something you’ll need to have done. Before your project can begin and construction is underway, the plot needs to be cleared of any debris and graded. Land clearing in Minnesota can be complicated and isn’t always a job you should take on alone, so you need a plan and a team to help you make the right decisions and determine the best approach.

Before we begin, there are a few things that need to happen. Depending on the type of project, you may need new additional permits or paperwork completed. Having the proper permits ensures legality and permission from the local government.

Often, these permits will also allow you to either keep or dispose of the debris left after the land gets cleared. An excellent way to know if you need a permit or not is to check out the Department of Natural Resources in Minnesota’s website. They tell you directly on the webpage if a specific job requires a permit or not.

Some examples of permit required land clearing:

Excessive vegetation and land disturbances
Well Building

Road construction

We understand that permits and legality can be confusing. Give us a call, and we can help clear it up!

How Does Land Clearing Work?

If you’ve got everything figured out and you’re ready to hire a land clearing company, the job is simple, but also unique to each property. First, we’ll send someone out to survey the land and determine the best strategy and approach to ensure the process is efficient and organized.

Trees and bushes are the most significant obstacles in the land clearing process. They contain elaborate root systems that can make their way into your foundation, causing structural issues. Other considerations when clearing the land are big rocks and current buildings that stand on the property. Removing large obstructions is best left to professionals because you need to pay attention to erosion, electrical lines, and plumbing during this stage.

Once we receive all the necessary permits and we finish clearing the land we can move into the final step which is grading the property. This stage usually involves filling in any imperfections in the ground and leveling out your property.
