When you want to boost the value of a piece of overgrown property, land clearing is an important first step. It’s tough to envision certain uses for a lot if it has thick brush, trees, and tall weeds everywhere.
If you have a specific project in mind for an untamed parcel, removing vegetation can help other people see your vision. Even if you’re just looking to sell a lot, clearing out the site before putting it on the market can increase its value — and your profits. Learn more about how using excavation equipment can prepare the property for any kind of project.
Making a More Aesthetically Pleasing Yard or Property
It’s a simple concept, but a site that looks better is going to be worth more. If you are trying to sell the lot, a buyer may struggle to see the value in a lot that’s extremely overgrown. A clean part of land you clearly cared for will look nicer and likely bring a higher offer.
You might have a home nestled on a rural site. If no one can see your home from the road because of overgrowth, it’s tough to envision the value of the house. Clearing part of the property allows your beautiful home to stand out clearly.
Delivering Better Access to the Site
You might have a section of your property that you’d like to sell for development. Without roads and the ability to deliver utilities, though, a potential buyer might struggle to see the potential.
You don’t necessarily have to build the road or install the utilities yourself. Doing land clearing that shows the potential position of the road may be enough to unlock the value of the site for a buyer.
Preventing Unwanted Soil Erosion
If your lot experiences frequent soil washouts after heavy Florida rains, clearing and grading the land can help. If you have quite a bit of overgrown vegetation, it might be difficult to see the issues causing the erosion.
By removing trees and bushes, we’ll reveal the land underneath. You then can hire us to work the soil with heavy equipment to direct rain runoff in a manner that doesn’t cause erosion. Eliminating issues with erosion makes more of the property usable, increasing its value.
Even if you aren’t noticing soil runoff, you might have low spots on the lot that collect water. Through our leveling and grading work, we can remove these spots.
Increasing the Amount of Usable Space
Perhaps you already have a home or outbuilding on part of the parcel. You can give yourself more space that’s usable for any kind of project you have in mind through land clearing. Clearing additional land near your home or outbuildings lets you take on projects including:
- Gardening
- Space for horses
- Larger lawn
- Installing a pool
- Adding an outbuilding
- Expanding a deck
- Adding a putting green
Any of these projects would increase the usability of the area around your home. This likely means a buyer would pay more for the lot with these types of items already in place, whether you sell now or in the future.
Helping You Spot Hazards
When overgrown trees and bushes dominate a plot of land, it’s tough to see hazards including:
- Stumps
- Large rocks
- Puddles
- Muddy areas
- Thorny plants
- Animal burrows
If a potential buyer wants to walk through an untamed lot and suffers an injury because of a hazard, you’ll probably lose the sale. Even if the buyer remains interested, hazards might cause the buyer to reduce the offer.
Through bulldozing and other land clearing techniques, our team can expose these hazards. We can use our equipment to remove many of them, giving your parcel the highest potential value.
Removing Invasive Wildlife or Plants
If the site has an infestation of unwanted animals, clearing overgrown vegetation removes their habitat. The animals may then willingly move to other untamed areas, making your lot safer.
You might have invasive plants and vines that are choking out native grasses and trees. Clearing the site of all vegetation and plants allows more desirable native plants to return to the area. With a fresh start, you could even plant grass or create landscaping gardens to improve the value of the site.
