The Process of Land Clearing
Lot Clearing
Lot clearing is a frequently employed solution for properties undergoing transformation. This process involves the removal of trees and shrubs from a plot of land to provide space for new construction, renovations, or a lawn expansion.
Discing
Discing is an essential process that breaks up clods of dirt, improving soil granulation and surface uniformity. This not only reduces soil erosion but also ensures the field is ideally prepared for the next step.
For best results, discing should be performed shallower than plowing, at a depth of 4-6 inches.
Root Plowing
Root plowing is a technique for eliminating vegetation by cutting it beneath the soil surface, effectively killing brush and light vegetation by undercutting it at a depth of 8 to 18 inches.
The primary benefit of the root plow is its ability to slice vegetation below the bud ring, thus preventing sprouting that often occurs when plants are cut at ground level. With root plowing, arid land that is overwhelmed by brush can be improved, promoting seeding and moisture retention.
