Most property owners think of land clearing as a spring or summer job. In reality, fall and winter are the smartest time of year to clear overgrown land, and here is why.
Vegetation Is Weaker and Easier to Clear
Once brush, briars, and multiflora rose go dormant for the season, they lose the density and resistance that make summer clearing slower and tougher. Dormant growth cuts down faster and cleaner, which means less time on site and a better result.
You Can Finally See What You're Working With
Summer growth hides fence lines, property markers, ditch banks, and problem spots. Once the leaves are down, all of that becomes visible. It's the easiest time of year to identify exactly what needs to be cleared and plan the work correctly the first time.
Safer Working Conditions
Ticks, chiggers, snakes, and poison ivy are all far less active in cooler months. That makes fall and winter clearing safer for the crew and safer for you if you're walking the property afterward.
Get Ahead of Spring
Everyone wants clearing, grading, and landscaping done the moment spring hits, which means spring schedules fill up fast. Property owners who clear their land in the fall or winter walk into spring with a blank canvas ready for building, planting, or landscaping, instead of waiting weeks for an opening.
Firmer Ground, Less Damage
Wet spring ground is more prone to rutting under heavy equipment. Cooler, firmer ground in the fall and winter months typically allows equipment to access the site with less impact on the surrounding yard or field.
