Land Clearing in Joliet

The first step in any development project, whether commercial or residential, is to clear the land.  Lot clearing is also often used for opening up areas slated to be used for farming, hunting, landscaping, or even to clean up debris left behind from storms.  The  process involves removing trees, shrubs, vegetation, and debris from a tract of land to prep it for a specific use.  But did you know that land clearing in Joliet is beneficial for more than just opening up space for development or other reasons?
​

• Adding soil nutrients: When trees and vegetation are left to grow on their own, the soil takes a hit.  Soil can become eroded, weed growth becomes unmanageable, and needed nutrients are sapped away.  While a space is being cleared, soil is evenly re-distributed and then mulch is added to infuse nutrients back in.  This process also stops erosion and inhibits weed growth. Healthy soil is absolutely essential for farming, landscaping, and other similar uses of the area, making this an important benefit for many.

 

• Healthier plants: Areas where trees, shrubs, and other vegetation are left unchecked are chock full of plants vying for growing space and access to the sun.  Plants need space in order to grow and stay healthy, making overgrown areas a poor place for them to thrive.  Though removing plants to make others healthier seems odd, it’s true!  In some cases, you can even re-plant uprooted plants in spaces where they have a better chance of flourishing.

 

• Wildfire prevention: Overgrown areas are wrought with dead plants that were choked out by other plants.  Dead plants are ideal fuel for wildfires, making them a safety concern.  By taking out plants, especially dead ones, you’re preventing the chance of wildfires starting or spreading.

 

• Reducing pests: Areas with abundant vegetation is the perfect home for many types of pests, from insects to animals.  When you clear a lot, you take away nesting opportunities and make the area a much less attractive habitat.
