How to clear the area from the forest. Do-it-yourself tree clearing

Photo 1. Tree clearing.

Land clearing is a highly demanded service. In order to quickly and safely remove unnecessary perennial green spaces, it is necessary to invite arborists who have the necessary skills and also know how to handle special equipment.

The territory is usually cleared for construction, laying communications, planting a garden, horticulture, or for other needs. The site removed from plants becomes completely suitable for any purpose. The main thing is that large-sized trees and shrubs should be removed efficiently, carefully, without damaging nearby buildings.

To clear the territory from trees and bushes, you need to obtain official permission. A felling ticket can be issued at the Department of Nature Management and Protection environment Moscow or the Forestry Department for the Moscow Region. The document is received by the owner of the allotment.

Lesmaster arborists know how to safely remove perennial tree plantations of any size. They have experience in cleaning up territories of any degree of neglect. Experts eliminate plants completely, leaving no roots or stumps. All work is carried out in compliance with safety regulations.

Cleaning prices

The cost of work is determined by the degree of neglect of the allotment, age, size of plantings. If the diameter of the large-sized trunks is less than 8 cm, then a tractor and an excavator are used. Therefore, free space is needed for access to special equipment.

If large-sized trees with a trunk diameter of more than 8 cm grow on the territory, then first arborists cut them manually in the direction of a natural slope. Then the remaining stumps are uprooted with a tractor. After that, all the pits are covered with a mixture of earth and sawdust, and the territory is leveled.

The amount of time spent on the complete cleaning of the allotment is largely determined by the size of green spaces, the type of their root system. It will be possible to quickly uproot the territory in which specimens with a thin trunk and superficial roots grow. Fibrous and rod root system more complex, its removal takes more effort and time.

How to clear the area from trees and shrubs?

Shrubs and small specimens can be uprooted with an excavator with a traction bucket. If large-sized trees with a thick trunk and large branches grow on the site, specialists remove them manually. Such plantings are felled entirely or cut down in fragments so as not to damage communications, neighboring buildings.

You can clear the land allotment from trees with a tractor. This method is effective when you need to clear the allotment from a large number specimens with a trunk of small diameter. They are uprooted with a bucket. The remaining stumps and roots are uprooted with a winch or heavy equipment. After that, the holes are covered with earth.

Clearing the area from the forest, as a rule, takes more time. Shrubs and woody vegetation often have to be felled by hand. The procedure also provides for uprooting and plowing of the site, cleaning of wood debris.

The clearing of the site is carried out in several stages. First step- felling trees in the area. If there are no difficulties with the landscape or existing buildings, the preferred method is to fell the whole tree from the root. Sometimes, when clearing a site, you have to resort to other methods. Lack of space, trees that cannot be cut, emergency and dangerous trees, buildings - all this makes it difficult to resort to felling from the root entirely. In such cases, one of the three more expensive methods will be used: piecemeal removal, piecemeal removal with descent of individual parts, felling from the root using guy lines. After the trees are cut down, they must be cut into pieces and disposed of, and the roots and stumps uprooted.

If there is a partial clearing of the site, then the three methods described above are most often used for it - sawing in parts with a reset, removal with hanging fragments, or directed felling. Their complexity justifies more high cost partial clearing.

To avoid extra costs and unpleasant surprises, it is recommended to draw up a plan for future buildings before cleaning the site and construction. It is also important to remember that clearing a site that does not yet have buildings will be easier and cheaper.

Once upon a time, while visiting, I saw and fell in love immediately and forever with this bush. Of course, for this I needed to see it in all its glory, namely, at the time of flowering. And now, when I write this article, outside the window inspires me Pink colour massive bush - weigela. It is named after a German scientist of the 18th and 19th centuries. Those distant times, a scientist, as a rule, was a specialist in many areas at once - both in botany, and in chemistry, and in pharmaceuticals.

The best option the formation of a grape bush is considered to be its formation on a trunk. This form allows you to give the greatest load on the plant, which means taking largest harvest. It provides better warming of the vine, good ventilation, so that the bushes get sick less, and is also considered the most convenient to care for. However, it is suitable only for those areas where the temperature does not fall below minus 17 ° C, and for certain varieties - minus 28 ° C.

Most owners of household plots would like to see a water corner in their garden - at least a small, but still their own personal “lake”.

When buying any orchids, in the description of the characteristics of which there is a note about fragrant, it is worth clarifying exactly how they smell and how strong the aroma is. Like other fragrant plants, orchids with medium and strong aroma it is worth choosing individually and according to your taste, because the perception of smells is very personal and not always amenable to logic. orchids with strong smell will require and right choice places: they can not be placed in small rooms, bedrooms.

Growing crops with long period vegetation through seedlings is a painstaking process that takes more than one month. And, you see, it is incredibly disappointing when the results of our labors perish in a matter of days. It is very difficult for seedlings grown on a windowsill to rebuild and get used to a new habitat, although the conditions open ground much more natural for plants. Our task is to do everything possible so that their survival rate approaches 100%.

When there is a desire to plant and grow a small care garden, in which, if you work, then not “until you drop”, then you have to look for suitable ornamental plants. Naturally, these plants should not be demanding on soils, watering, resistant to diseases and pests. But, not only that, we also need them to be decorative as well!

Common parsnip, or field parsnip, or sowing parsnip (Pastinaca sativa) in the wild is widely distributed in regions with temperate climate (middle lane Russia, North Caucasus, Crimea, Ural, Altai, etc.), but is still rare in garden plots. True, today the popularity of parsnips is growing quite actively. In animal husbandry and beekeeping, it is used as a fodder plant and honey plant, and in cooking - as a tasty and healthy vegetable.

Among the plants, one species of which seems to take us to the tropical forests filled with aroma, quisqualis is one of the most "atmospheric". This is a rare and valuable indoor and greenhouse liana. And although the plant has long been reclassified as a genus of combretums, it is very difficult not to recognize it. This climber is unusual in every way. The favorite feature of Quisqualis is inflorescences in which graceful flowers from snow-white rather quickly repainted in crimson-red.

Quick and very tasty cabbage and pork salad. A similar salad is prepared by Koreans, apparently our hostesses spied on this delicious recipe. Indeed, this is a very quick dish to prepare, and even without special culinary experience, it is easy to prepare. Choose lean pork, a shoulder blade, a sirloin will do. Salo is better to cut. early cabbage you can just cut it, and I advise you to chop the winter one thinly, sprinkle with salt and rub it with your hands.

The universal favorite among the decorative and deciduous perennials of the host conquers not only the beauty of the leaves. It is durable and relatively undemanding, in right place growing long years, but it can hardly be called fast-growing. The hosta propagates easily, although you will have to be patient to get spectacular, highly decorative bushes. To independently increase the host collection, first of all, you need to remember the features of this culture.

Dill spreads well by self-sowing, so many summer residents do not consider it necessary to sow this crop every year on the site. But at the same time, everyone understands that dill and dill are different. And the greens of carefully grown dill in the garden in their taste and aroma, as a rule, are superior to the greens of dill, which grows on its own. In this article, we'll show you how to have green dill on the beds in sufficient quantities from early spring to late autumn.

Regular frying pan with a thick bottom non-stick coating will fit too.

The piece of land to which long time“no man has set foot” is a rather dull sight. And to be honest, his appearance causes shock at first, and only then sadness. The fact is that most often the land without supervision is overgrown with all possible weeds, shrubs and trees. Moreover, even cultivated varieties of trees and plants turn into a "wildlife" - there is no longer any benefit from them, but you will not end up with trouble.

At the same time, if the territory at least had a fence, then there is a possibility that there is no garbage on it. Here it is without the fence land very quickly turn into unauthorized garbage dumps. If you have such an overgrown area and do not know where to start, check out this article.

A good plan is half the battle

Many people, starting to work with a “wild” site, clutch their heads and strive to do everything at once. It is not right. Many try to evade work - to hire a team of workers. Not a bad solution if you have an extra amount of money in reserve. The fact is that the cost of developing an overgrown area today is rather rather big. If you do not know how to develop an overgrown area , but still decided to act on their own, our advice - before you develop the virgin lands, draw up a work plan.

First, decide what is the purpose of the site that you will develop. The fact is that if it is needed only for building a house, then the work plan will be simplified a little, and if you decide to do agriculture, then you will noticeably increase your work.

Carefully study the territory that you will need to master. Is there a household or construction garbage. How many trees and shrubs are there, what condition are they in and whether they are of any value, whether something can be left, or everything needs to be removed. Are there stumps on the site, what is their size and appearance. Perhaps there are some buildings on the territory: a house, a well, a toilet.

Make a plan - this will help to cope with panic and will serve as a good help. The sequence of work performed is approximately as follows.

1. Clear the area.
2. Remove grass and weeds.
3. Remove shrubs and dead wood.
4. Remove unwanted trees.
5. Uproot stumps.
6. Dig and loosen the soil.
7. Bring black earth.
8. Level the area.
9. Apply fertilizer.
10. To give the earth a rest - to put it "under steam".

This plan must be followed if you are going to farm on an overgrown plot. If you purchased it for development, then you can limit yourself to the first six points.

Clearing the territory

Since it is rather difficult for one person to process an overgrown area - practically beyond his strength, you need to create a small team: family members, relatives, friends and acquaintances are perfect for these purposes. Especially when performing the first stages of work.

1. Clear the territory of the site from the debris that lies on the surface and there is no need to apply a large amount to remove it. physical strength. It can be both household and construction debris, stones, sticks, etc.
2. All collected garbage must be piled into one or two large piles closer to the part of the site to which there is a vehicle access.
3. It is not worth garbage - even if it is small and insignificant - to be buried in the ground. This will only add to your work. Especially you should not do this under the trees - the garbage will interfere with the development of the root system of those trees that you decide to leave.

Removing grass and weeds

This stage of work is probably the most laborious. After all visible debris from the site is tidied up, it is necessary to deal with weeds and grass thickets. This work is best done manually, despite the fact that there will be a lot of trouble, but it is enough just to put the earth in order once, than to deal with the same problems every year. Some novice "farmers" prefer to work with a motor cultivator, but this has its drawbacks.

1. Large weeds break out, then, with the help of a bayonet-shovel, it is removed upper layer land - turf (approximately five centimeters). In this way, weed roots can be removed perennials. Sod should not be thrown away - it can be laid in layers in separate place(roots up) and cover dark film, not passing Sun rays. In a year this land will be ordinary fertile soil- it can be used for its intended purpose.
2. The motor cultivator cuts the sod along with the weeds and re-embeds it all into the soil. Thus, it is a waste of work, as the technique crushes weeds and sod, causing grass to grow further, as the roots remain in the ground. In addition, various pests remain in the ground - the cultivator does not get rid of them.
3. An uncultivated overgrown piece of land is difficult to process without resorting to chemistry - herbicides, for example, Reglon, Hurricane, Roundup, can help here. Before using such toxic drugs, carefully read the instructions and follow all precautions. Basically, manufacturers advise processing in calm weather at the beginning of summer. The grass finally dies in two or three weeks - all that remains is to collect it with a rake and take it to the trash or burn it. It should be noted that planting cultivated plants on the territory treated with herbicides, it is possible after 1.5-2 months!

Cleaning shrubs and dead wood

Everything is very simple here - a “well” overgrown area necessarily has a considerable number of shrubs. To remove shrubs, it is necessary to remove most of the branches with a garden pruner, leaving the central ones, and then dig up the root and uproot it. It is best to do this together - one works with a shovel, and the second pulls a bush at an angle. You should not just cut down the bush - after a while, newer shoots will definitely appear.

As for the dead wood (these are trees and shrubs, as well as last year's hard grass - all together this is a sharp prickly jungle). All this can be easily cut down and uprooted.

By the way, now you can call a car or carriage for garbage removal for the first time - by this time it has already accumulated enough to load the car for at least one “walk” to the landfill. After that, you will immediately notice how much work you have already done.

Removing unnecessary trees

There is no need to remove all the trees that grow on the site. Some of them, of course, it is time to remove, but some may become worthy decoration territory. They can be left at least in order to have at least some shade where you can take a break from direct sunlight.

Having decided on the further fate of the trees on the site, you can start felling the "extra".

1. Thin trees. You can get rid of them with a regular axe.
2. Thick trees. You can get rid of them with a saw - both conventional and electric (the latter, of course, is preferable, as it saves time and effort).
3. Tall trees. Here it is better to turn to professionals, as felling these trees on your own can be dangerous.
4. Stump. To make it easier to uproot stumps, their height should be no more than one meter.
5. Felled trees. If you are going to build a house or a cottage on the site of the site, then the trees can be used for firewood: for stoves, for a fireplace, for barbecue. In order not to pay once again for garbage collection, trees can be offered to people who have stove heating“They certainly won’t turn down such generous help.”
6. Leaves from trees. It is not at all necessary to throw them away - they can be dried and burned, and then the earth is fertilized with this ashes.

Stump uprooting

On the territory of the site there may be old stumps or young ones that remained after you uprooted the trees. Young stumps will initially start up young shoots, then mold, moss, mushrooms, and various insects can settle there, so it’s still better to get rid of stumps right away.

You can get rid of stumps in several ways.

1. Manually. It is not only the most cheap way, but also the safest for the environment. In order to uproot a stump, there is no need for any special equipment at all - the stump must first be dug in, and the roots must be taken out of the ground and chopped off. After that, swing the stump as best as possible and manually pull it out of the ground. If roots remain, they can also be manually pulled out. It is better if several people help swing the stump.
2. With the help of a tractor. Most fast way getting rid of stumps. It is enough to dig a little stump, throw a winch on it, the second end of which is fixed on the tractor and “pull” it well. This method is expensive, but worth it if you need to get rid of a lot of stumps.
3. With a crusher. This is the most safe method, since it will not cause damage to the landscape, near the growing the right trees and even standing buildings. The disadvantage of this method is shallow processing, which leaves part of the roots in the ground.
4. With the help of chemistry. Pretty simple and inexpensive method. It is necessary to drill holes in the stump with an electric drill (as deep as possible) and pour wet saltpeter into them. Required condition- isolation of the stump so that the saltpeter is not washed out by rains. After about a year, the saltpeter soaks the stump to the very roots. After that, the stump remains only to set on fire - it burns out all. Plants can be planted at this place no earlier than after 12 months. This method has one drawback - it is very long and not suitable for those who need to develop the site as quickly as possible.
5. With the help of mushrooms. The most exotic way, suitable for those stumps that are located in the shade. Mushrooms, as you know, in the course of their life, are able to destroy wood. If you sow mushrooms on a stump, then soon the stump will collapse, but until this happens, for many years you will always have tasty and fresh mushrooms.

Digging the earth and loosening the soil

Now, after not a single blade of grass is left on the once overgrown area, it's time to dig up the ground and start loosening the soil.

1. They dig up the earth with a shovel: turn the earth over, break up clods of earth, feed it with organic fertilizers.
2. They loosen the ground with a pitchfork - in this way, all lumps are leveled, roots and debris are selected that were not noticed earlier.
3. If the soil is good, then it can be dug only once to the depth of one bayonet of a shovel, and if not, you will have to work hard and make a two-tier dig.

Chernozem delivery

In the event that the soil turned out to be very “unimportant” - clayey, saline or poor in nutrients (its analysis can be ordered today without any problems in special geo-laboratories), and you planned to engage in farming, then it would be best to bring a quality chernozem.

Lot leveling

The dug-up area or the area to which black soil was brought must be leveled. It is best to do this with a rake, so you can finally “smooth” the ground by removing stones and roots from it that were previously not noticeable. In addition, with the help of this maneuver, you can make sure that the ground level on the site is the same everywhere.

If you brought black soil, you need to make sure that it does not mix with the bottom layer of soil.

Remember that the fertile soil layer must be at least twenty centimeters.

Fertilizer application

After the plot of land has leveled, it must be fertilized - for this, using a lawn roller (in the absence of such a tool, you can simply trample the ground a little with your feet), sprinkle fertilizer in granules on top and again “mix the soil with a rake.

Fallow"

If you did everything right, then your site resembles dough prepared for baking. However, the earth, like the dough, must be allowed to rest before planting. "Under steam" the land should stand for at least two months. Ideally, a year.

During this time, that you will not touch the ground, insects will perform their function - they will enrich the soil, and small animals and birds - their own - will rid the earth of the most harmful insects.

So that the site does not fall into disrepair, it is necessary to weed it from time to time from weeds - they can be pulled out manually or with a chopper. Do not forget after that to collect all the weeds and loosen the ground!

This completes the development of the overgrown area. We hope that everything worked out for you!

This problem can be solved relatively simply - to invite specialists. For 8 hours of their work (and equipment) on uprooting and leveling the territory, they will have to pay from 15,000 to 20,000 rubles. And if you do not spend money and clear the overgrown area yourself? How and with what, as well as what to take into account - we will deal with all this in the article offered to the reader.

This is where any business starts.

• Drawing up a site plan. And the most detailed, taking into account all the curvatures, recesses and so on. If this is a wasteland, then you should immediately clarify the boundaries of your allotment so as not to work "idle", cultivating someone else's territory.
• Inspection of the area and determination of the range of tasks to be solved. Much depends on how overgrown the site is and for what purposes it is planned to clear it.

For example, you need it all, for laying out beds and shrubs. In some cases, the owner of a newly acquired allotment is primarily interested in only a part of the territory - in order to start building a house. At this stage of preparation, it is advisable to examine the soil in order to determine its characteristics. If it is planned to equip a well, then specialists will request about 19,000 rubles for drilling a pair of test pits and analyzing the soil.

• Listing necessary work according to their order and complexity. Basically, it's a schedule of events. Situations are different, and therefore clearing can be complete, over the entire area or in a separate segment. And the rest of the territory can be left for the next time, or work can be carried out in parallel with construction. For example, if a bucket is involved in the arrangement of the pit, then at the same time it will be able to eliminate a couple of stumps.

Approximate procedure for clearing the site

• Grass removal.
• Shrub cutting.
• Cutting down trees.
• Uprooting stumps, burning out the remains of the root system.
• Loosening and leveling the soil.
• Delivery and laying of soil (chernozem).
• Application of fertilizers.

Often it is necessary to calculate the necessary inventory and the number of assistants (if required). It makes no sense to explain that it will not be possible to perform all technological operations with the same tool. Yes, and assistants are constantly also unlikely to be needed. Perhaps they will have to be involved only at certain stages.

There is always something on the farm, but some types of site clearing work will require equipment that is rarely used in everyday life. It is worth considering what should be bought, and what, for example, should be rented from a specialized organization or from friends for a while. Most likely, you will also need transport for waste disposal - what kind, where to get it, how much it will cost approximately - these points also need to be thought out in advance.

What may be needed

In addition to household equipment - axes, saws, shovels, secateurs.

• Motokosa.
• A brush cutter (if the trimmer is low-powered and will not cope with this task). This may also be
• scissors (with long handles, for pruning branches).
• Cultivator.
• Chainsaw.

Procedure and features of work

"Cosmetic" cleaning. At this stage, everything that does not require the use of a tool should be removed from the territory - broken branches, construction (household) debris. Such work does not require a bunch of assistants. In fact, this is preparation for the implementation of the plan. Everything that is collected is stored in that segment of the territory, from where it will be easier to take it out by transport (or it is more convenient to burn it).

By the way, ashes (ash) are still useful as organic fertilizer, so you need to think about how to save it so that it is not blown out by the wind or washed out by rainwater (if the site is on a slope).

Removal of shrubs and tall grass. How to work depends on how overgrown the site. But it is undesirable to be limited only to a trimmer or a cultivator. "Clean" should be walked with a shovel. This work will take time and effort, but it's worth it. Why? Means of mechanization will not rid the soil of roots and spores. The trimmer will only cut the stems, and the cultivator will shovel the soil. As a result, after a while, young shoots will reappear, and you will have to do everything “in a circle” again.

On a note! In some cases, chemicals can be used, although this should not be abused. Before use, you need to study the manufacturer's instructions and ask about the weather forecast (especially wind speed and direction).

What to consider when applying "chemistry"

Firstly, the result will be no earlier than in a couple of weeks. Will have to wait.

Secondly, if the site is being prepared for planting crops, then after cultivating the land with herbicides, it can only be started after about 2.5 months (depending on the type of preparation).

cutting down trees

Should I delete absolutely everything? This needs to be decided at the stage of marking the territory for arrangement. In places where it is planned to organize a gazebo or something else, trees can be left - to shade a segment of the territory. By the way, some horticultural crops also do not like direct sunlight.

• Fall down alone tall trees should not be, especially if adjacent, already inhabited areas are located nearby.
• All wood can be rationally used, even sawdust (for mulching). Therefore, it is hardly advisable to remove trunks and branches from the territory. This is firewood, and rem / accessories (for example, for a fence), and ash for fertilizing the territory.
• Uprooting stumps. The easiest way is with an excavator, but it will not always be acceptable. It is often possible to drive equipment into the territory (especially if it is equipped), and it is quite difficult to put the site in order after it. But don't worry, there are a few effective ways getting rid of stumps with your own hands.

How to uproot stumps without equipment?

Method 1

Dig around the circumference, then chop off (cut off with a chainsaw) the roots. It remains only to swing the stump and remove it.

Method 2

Several deep holes are drilled on the cut, into which a solution of nitrate is poured. Next summer the stump can be burned. In a year, the "chemistry" will saturate the entire structure of the wood so much that the material is easily ignited. Waiting is the best option if you can.

Method 3

It is more for exotic lovers. You can plant mushrooms on the cut - mushrooms - and harvest. Their colony will gradually, over several years, deplete the wood, and the stump will turn into dust, which will be easy to remove.

After uprooting the stumps, the hole should be processed, otherwise it is not a fact that the roots remaining in the soil will not give new shoots.

• There are quite a few folk ways - pour gasoline and burn it, pour lime and a number of others. When choosing this or that technology, it is necessary to foresee how this “patch” will be used further.
• If it is decided to leave the stump to decorate the territory, as a garden "high chair", then it must be processed - remove the dust from the core and soak (coat) with special equipment, and then cover it, for example, with varnish. Otherwise, it will turn into a habitat for insects, moss, mold, mushrooms and so on will appear in it (and nearby).

Everything else - loosening, fertilizing, laying the fertile layer - is at the discretion of the owner, so you should not dwell on this in detail. Moreover, the main task has been completed - the site has been cleared.
