6 Reasons Why Land Clearing Is Necessary

Admin • April 11, 2022

Land clearing is an important consideration in Australia for many reasons, taking into account, the areas of Dubbo and Wellington and the surrounds.


Overgrown areas can lead to a host of problems and even dangers if left unchecked, and there are even council regulations in effect in different parts of Australia to instruct landowners on how to maintain their land.


Here are 6 reasons why land clearing is necessary in Australia.

1. Compliance With Council Regulations

There are council regulations in place in Australia aimed at keeping properties safe in the event of a fire.


Given how hot and dry Australian summers usually are, it is important to comply with these regulations. Failure to do so could result in penalties from the council and may put your home at risk.

2. Minimising The Risk of Fire

In keeping with the previous point, you should understand that an accumulation of dried leaves from overgrown vegetation can operate as kindling for a fire.


It is your responsibility as the landowner to manage vegetation whether it is close to structures or not, that may result in a fire.

3. Keeping Pest Populations Down

Dense foliage is a magnet for pests looking for shelter and sustenance. These creatures will then find their way into properties and cause problems in the locality.


If you purchase land that is overgrown, you should have it cleared at the earliest possible time or those pests could become a health hazard to the occupants of your building.

4. Weed Suppression

Land clearing removes unwanted vegetation from the area so that the plant life you want to grow can thrive.


At Boland Contracting, we will grind down the vegetation we remove into mulch that can be used as fertiliser, turning noxious species into something that is helpful for the environment. Suppressing weeds in and around your property can have many benefits.

5. Enhanced Soil Condition

The eco mulching of weeds and other vegetation during land clearing leaves a layer on the topsoil that keeps that soil rich in nutrients.


It also protects the soil against drying out and turning into dust. Improved soil condition makes the land more fertile, so things like grass and other desirable plant life will be able to grow and flourish.

6. Greater Visual Appeal

Land clearing can involve strategic clearing of vegetation, making it easier for you to maintain the visual appeal of the landscape. With mulched soil around trees, the land will look tidy and appealing and you will have easier access to those trees in order to prune and maintain them.


Your property will be more beneficial and be ready for your projects. Clearing overgrown vegetation from your land, ready to add plants you have chosen or to build your dream home.

Conclusion

With high-quality land clearing, you protect your property from threats like fire and pests. You also improve the beauty and fertility of the surrounding land so that it looks appealing and offers a space where healthy plant life and wildlife can thrive.
