Spring may be months away, but if you are having a house built this coming spring, there is a lot of pre-planning to be done beforehand.
Site preparation takes some time to complete and Fall is the best time to do it.
Rather than wait until the end of winter to break ground on your new project, it may be advantageous to have your lot clearing service come in sooner, rather than later, to handle that part of things.
There are a few benefits to doing it in the fall and heading into the winter, too.
Benefits of Lot Clearing Ahead of Time
Preparing for a spring build by handling the site preparation work, and even the construction of the foundation pad, in the fall is advantageous for two main reasons.
Firstly, it leaves plenty of time to complete the clearing, which leaves time for dealing with unexpected problems that can always crop up.
Secondly, clearing work done in the late fall and early winter can usually be done in this region after storm season has passed and before the ground freezes.
This makes getting equipment in and out, and actually performing the work a lot easier than when dealing with ground that is too soft due to the heavy rains that come during the spring and late summer storm season.
As long as the weather holds and the ground does not freeze, it is many times possible to excavate for the foundation pad so the spot is ready the minute the weather warms back up in the spring to get a jump start on construction.
Helps Make Up For Other Time Lost During Construction
Building a new home can take quite a while to complete and right now, those times can be even longer due to materials shortages, contractor availability, and other factors affecting the construction industry.
Putting the time to good use by completing lot clearing services and site preparation with a contractor that has a little time to do it means being one step ahead of things in the spring.
With the lot cleared and prepared and the site ready to install the foundation, it is the perfect solution for keeping your building project on time even if there are some little setbacks.
Get Ready for Spring Housebuilding
If you are excitedly looking forward to breaking ground in the spring on your new home, do whatever you can this fall to prepare so your site is ready as soon as the weather is good.
Beyond the paperwork and financing and everything else being handled between now and then, try to get a head start by doing site preparation this fall.
