We have 40+ years experience in land clearing for residential home sites, farms, ranches, and timberland. We restore the land to its natural grade and often recontour. Some of the reasons for land clearing for residential properties would be more space around the home for sunlight, defensible space for fire prevention, danger trees from wind, garden areas or outbuildings. Farms and ranches may need areas for pastures, orchards, vineyards or riding arenas and timberlands often need brush and slash removed before reforestation or scarifying areas that are infected with root rot. We can selectively clear underbrush or unwanted species to create a park-like setting giving the other trees more nutrients and sunlight, reducing fuels and fire hazard.

An interesting read from Science Daily.

Whole-tree logging may not hinder plant biodiversity When it comes to timber harvesting, removing the whole tree -- from stump to twigs -- doesn't reduce plant diversity any more than old-fashioned logging, which leaves tree branches behind in the woods, new research finds.
