It is important to work with a provider who is familiar with these regulations and can ensure that the work is done in compliance with
local laws. You can trust KTM in compliance with these laws and we have all the right equipment necessary to get the job done properly.

Equipment For Successful Land Clearing
- Excavators: Digs up and removes trees and other vegetation. Equipped with a large bucket at the end of a hydraulic arm that can scoop up soil, rocks, and other debris.
- Skid-steer loaders: Small, agile machines that can maneuver in tight spaces. Used to clear small trees, shrubs, and other vegetation, and are often equipped with grapple buckets or mulching attachments.
- Mulchers: Machines that use a rotating drum to grind up trees and other vegetation into small chips. These chips can be used as mulch, fuel, or erosion control materials.
- Chainsaws: Commonly used to cut down trees and remove limbs and branches.
- Bulldozers: Heavy machines used to push over large trees and clear debris from the ground. Works in conjunction with other equipment to clear large areas of land.

Site Preparation & Safety

- Protect the land: Improper clearing can cause erosion, so maintain buffers along waterways.
- Debris disposal: Materials can be mulched, hauled to green-waste facilities, or sometimes burned
