Land Clearing, Forestry Mulching, and Grading Services in North Georgia

Forestry mulching can be more cost-effective than traditional land clearing depending on the type of vegetation involved. For smaller to medium sized jobs with manageable underbrush, forestry mulching can be a very cost-effective solution. Since the brush gets pulverized on-site, there's no need for hauling it away, which can be a major expense with traditional clearing methods.

During a land grading project, there are a few different potential outcomes for how the dirt removed can be utilized.

1. Reused on site: In most cases, the dirt can be used on the same property. The dirt can be moved around to fill and level other areas. This option is more economical for the land owner and environmentally friendly as well by avoiding the disturbance of other land.
2. Hauled off to another location: In cases when there is excess dirt removed from the project site, it may be hauled away to another location that needs fill dirt. This may be a construction project requiring fill dirt for foundations or landscaping projects needing to elevate certain areas.
3. Preservation of Topsoil: The top layer of dirt, known as topsoil, can be particularly rich in nutrients making it valuable for other uses. The excavated soil can be stockpiled for future landscaping projects.

Land grading contractors can typically help create a plan for how to manage the removed dirt from a project to ensure it is used efficiently and responsibly. Before moving, reusing, or disposing of excavated dirt, it's important to verify compliance with local regulations. Be sure to contact your local jurisdiction for details.
