Regardless of the size of the project you want to construct, you definitely need the services of site clearance contractors in Johannesburg. It should be someone who knows everything about tree felling, tree removal, and surface soil removal.

The following are some of the things you should expect a site clearance specialist to do for you:

1. Johannesburg Tree Felling and Removal

Site clearance for building construction starts with the removal of trees and other vegetation. First, the contractor clears the undergrowth. What’s left is just a few trees and shrubs.

The next step is tree felling which should be done professionally to avoid unnecessary accidents and liabilities. Once the trees are felled, they are reduced into smaller pieces, which are then carried away using specialized equipment.

Tree removal involves the uprooting of the roots and stumps. This is to ensure that they do not decay later and cause cracks in the building.

Removing Surface Soil and Large Stones

Apart from containing roots, surface soil also has lots of decaying materials. The purpose of site clearance is to remove this soil for a more stable building foundation.

When the contractor comes on site, he or she will loosen the surface soil, remove, and transport it away. In the process, any large stones are removed from the site. Animal burrows are identified and filled with clay.

That way, the contractors ensure that the soil on the building site is fit for construction.

Demolition of Existing Buildings

Building site clearance may also involve bringing down old buildings to make way for new ones. However, demolition can only commence after the property owner contacts the local authority for the necessary permission.

When the demolition begins, care is taken to ensure the safety of other people and buildings nearby. The clearance contractor will come on site with the necessary equipment for the job. That includes machinery for demolition and trucks for ferrying the debris.
