If you have stumps left behind, there are multiple options for removing them. If you have trees, take them out first either with a chainsaw, brush cutter, tree shear, or by hiring a tree removal service (depending on their size). If you’re putting in a garden, be sure to avoid using herbicides. For meadows or other generally untraveled areas, a few stumps or stray trees may be fine. For trails and other traveled areas, you’ll want to be sure to get rid of stumps and other tripping hazards. Decide what you want to do with the area.Īre you going to plant a wildflower meadow? Do you want a grassy area? Are you putting in a vegetable garden? Knowing what the end result is will help to inform how you proceed. The same steps can be followed to get your pristine property back, though: 1. For example, an area of tall grass and weeds is much easier to get control of than a densely wooded area. How long this process takes and how labor intensive it is will depend on how much overgrowth you have, and what type. But have no fear! Clearing overgrown land doesn’t have to be a headache if you know what you’re doing and have the right tools.

Without proper attention, most areas will try to revert back to their natural, woody states.
