Land Clearing in New Orleans: local context
Much of New Orleans sits at or below sea level on soft, subsiding soils with a very high water table; many homes are raised on piers and basements are essentially nonexistent.
Land clearing around New Orleans is mostly lot preparation, fence-line and driveway clearing, and reclaiming overgrown acreage on the edges of the metro.
Methods range from forestry mulching and brush cutting to dozer clearing and stump grinding. Around New Orleans, ask contractors about tree-protection ordinances in many cities, erosion-control rules on disturbed ground and wetland and drainage rules, who handles permits, and what happens to the debris.
Licensing and permit rules differ by state and city. Check with Louisiana licensing authorities and the local building or permitting office for what applies to your project.
Questions to ask before you hire
- What clearing method will you use, and why?
- What happens to debris and stumps?
- Who handles permits, tree ordinances and erosion control?
- Is the price per acre, per day or fixed?
- Can I see proof of insurance?
