Mark clearing and protection limits
Identify the trees, vegetation, fencing and other features to remove and those to retain. Include access routes and staging areas in the clearing plan. Acres alone do not describe tree size, density, terrain or the amount of material that must be handled.
Distinguish cutting from grubbing
Removing above-ground vegetation and removing roots or stumps are different operations. For future building and pavement areas, provide the site-preparation requirements from the plans. For selective clearing, describe the intended use and the condition you expect when the work is complete.
Decide where the material goes
Chipping, stockpiling and haul-off create different costs and site conditions. Identify approved disposal or reuse arrangements, whether chips may remain, and whether topsoil stripping or final grading is included. Stabilization and restoration should be listed when required by the project.
Project questions
Does clearing include stump removal?
Grubbing and stump removal are included only when identified in the proposal. Specify them when preparing the request.
Can clearing lead into a full site package?
Yes. Clearing can be coordinated with stripping, excavation, utilities, drainage, aggregate placement and grading.
