Hiring a Professional Florida Land Clearing Company

Depending on the size of your residential land clearing project, you may be tempted to undertake the work by yourself. However, even if the space that needs to be cleared is relatively small, we strongly advise against this! Fast and efficient removal of trees, brush, and other vegetation from a residential plot of land can require large, specialized equipment. Bulldozers and excavators certainly require extensive training to safely operate.

A History of Clearing Land

Before 1850, American farms were cut from the forest, and the work took time. The clearing of a few acres for first crops was followed by the endless labors of improvement. Including fencing, building, ditching. The ambitions of a farmer for land could load him down for a life with acres to clear and keep up. Five acres of yearly forest clearing in addition to current crops was about the limit for a family. Improved land could be a cash crop like any other, its yield no more risky than wheat or cotton, and only a little more remote. But even farmers who specialized in clearing land for sale might count on two hundred acres or so of forest clearing in a lifetime. The work of clearing a forest was extremely hard, however it could be done in off-season. Source
