Before you can begin a new construction project, you will need to prepare the site. In most cases, this process will necessitate removing one or more trees from the property. Our team at S&E Custom Grading & Concrete has extensive experience in land preparation, including tree clearing, and we have put together this article to explain more about why tree clearing is necessary.
- To Make Room — One of the main reasons why tree clearing is necessary is because the trees need to be removed to make room for the planned structure. Unless you are willing to add a great deal of time and effort to your project to work around the existing trees, you will need to clear away at least a few trees on your land to make space for your new building.
- To Protect the Structures — Another reason why tree clearing is necessary is because letting trees grow too close to buildings can put the structures at risk. For example, if tree branches hang over the roof of your new building, that building will be at risk of damage from falling limbs. If you want to keep your building safe, we encourage you to clear away the trees at the beginning.
- To Protect Utilities — Lastly, using our tree clearing services will also help protect your underground utilities, such as buried cables or pipes. If you allow trees to grow too close to your building, their roots can tangle around these buried utility lines and damage them.
