The First Steps: Site Assessment for Tree Clearing
06 May 2025 | Strasser Earthmoving
Before any trees are removed, carefully check the land. This detailed inspection is especially important when taking down trees because there are usually rules at both local and national levels that need to be followed.
So, how do experts start site assessment for tree clearing? Let’s break down the key steps:
Initial Site Assessment: Your First Three Steps
Everything begins with a good plan, and here are some ideas to consider:
1. Site Inspection and Mapping
Making a detailed map, whether on paper or digitally, is key to keeping track of each tree and its features. This map will help during both the planning and actual work phases. Consider how easy it will be to access different areas, and take note of nearby buildings or utility lines.
2. Environmental and Wildlife Check
This involves determining whether there are any protected species for tree removal and checking for wildlife habitats, like areas where birds might nest, or endangered animals might live. Sometimes, earthmovers talk to environmental experts or local authorities to ensure we follow the laws protecting nature.
3. Legal and Regulations Review
Before starting any work involving cutting down trees, experts need to review the rules and laws that apply. This includes checking:
- Special Permits or Permissions
- Types of Trees
- Guidelines on Clearing Trees and Plants
Understanding the Regulations Behind Tree Clearing
The regulations surrounding tree clearing by earthmoving services exist for several critical reasons:
- Environmental Protection
