How to Clear a Construction Site
- 1). Map out the area for the building. Completely clear growth and debris from the building space, including an area 10 feet around it on all sides. Remove all plant roots. Apply herbicide to any nonremovable roots. Re-establish the grade where the building will go as close to level as practical.
- 2). Clear a space near a road or other point of access. Utilize a place designated for a driveway, garage or other cleared space. Use the space to stockpile the plant debris and other waste material. Keep the amount of debris in the stockpile at a minimum. Large piles can be a fire hazard.
- 3). Remove and relocate the undesired growth and debris on the rest of the property outside the building area to the space cleared in Step 2.
- 4). Haul away and discard the debris stockpiled on the property. Rough-grade the disturbed places on the property and leave it in a clean and orderly condition.
