A few things we see folks get wrong when clearing and grading land:

✅ DO: Remove stumps and root balls completely out of the ground.
❌ DON'T: Leave roots hidden under fill. They'll rot at different rates, sink over time, and crack foundations or buckle hardscaping you've already paid for.

✅ DO: Test drainage paths after earth has been moved and compacted.
❌ DON'T: Assume water will follow the same route it did before the soil was touched and reworked.

✅ DO: Cut back heavy brush and vegetation before running equipment across the site.
❌ DON'T: Blade through thick growth and trap organic material underneath. It locks in air pockets, stops soil from compacting right, and leaves you with a weak base that sinks or shifts.

Before you clear any land, call 811 to locate underground utilities. Gas lines, water, and electrical can be buried anywhere, and hitting one can shut down your project, cost thousands in repairs, and put people at risk. A quick call saves you from expensive mistakes and keeps the site safe from start to finish.
