Why Do You Do Land Clearing?

Many people also take these land clearing services for agricultural uses such as planting crops on the farmlands.


The Process


First of all, you have to remove all the vegetation from the ground level. Then, you have to transport the vegetation for stacking them in windrows. Next, you can burn the vegetation so that the roots are left to decay. Next, you have to stump and remove every part of the tree including its roots. Again, you have to stack them in windrows for burning. Then, you have to plow and mix in the other vegetation under 20 cm depth of soil to decay.



Apart from that, you can also follow another process to decay all the vegetation. You just need to knock the vegetation to the ground and crush it on the surface of the soil and leave it to decay. Moreover, you can also cut remaining stumps and trees below the surface of the ground and leave them to decay.
