The site clearing phase is vital in preparing for a successful land development project. If site clearing is not executed properly, it will lead to numerous issues during the project’s latter stages, and these issues can lead to drainage problems.

Six of the most common site clearing mistakes that create drainage problems include:

- Clearing the site without a grading or drainage plan
- Removing too much vegetation or removing it too quickly (especially around water)
- Altering natural drainage features instead of leveraging them
- Failing to control erosion and sediment flows
- Clearing the site with poor use of heavy machinery
- Grading and altering the site without engineering oversight

If these mistakes are made and lead to drainage problems, they will threaten foundation work and the property’s pavement.
