Kurnick - Clearing the site

The clearing and excavation of the site is being done. Luckily there are not very many big trees on the lot because all of the stumps need to be removed and that can take the most time and they are costly to haul off to a dump site. Usually you have to pay someone to dump your stumps on there site and they dispose of them however they choose, either bury or burn. Stumps can take days and days to burn down so it isn't often something you want to do on site because of time constraints, future trees being damaged by the fire or maybe the development has rules against open burning.

Some of the trees that we took off the site were hickory trees so I did have them hauled down to the local sawmill. If the client is interested we will likely saw them into planks for flooring but I know we will not have enough to do any major section of floor. Also, in order to do this the tree needs to be sawed as soon as possible, stickered and covered to dry out over the course of construction before installation.
