Land can become overgrown with brush and trees for a multitude of reasons. It has been a long-time belief that clearing land is only something that can be tackled by large contractors that have specialized equipment. This is not true – as skid-steers and heavy-duty attachments allow private landowners and contractors to take on land clearing jobs. ### ![land development & clearing overgrown land](https://blog.diamondmowers.com/hs-fs/hubfs/land-development.jpg?width=750&name=land-development.jpg) ### What Is Land Development? Clearing an overgrown property can be tackled with a skid-steer or compact track loader (CTL) by leveraging vegetation management attachments. Skid-steers offer agility, speed, and flexibility due to their compact nature. Land development or clearing is converting raw land into agriculture, construction-ready housing, commercial, or industrial building sites. Primary types of applications of land development consist of: - Changing landforms from a natural state for a purpose such as agriculture or housing - Subdividing real estate into lots, usually for building homes - Real estate development - Road construction - Landscaping - Setup of fences and hedges - Service connections to municipal services and public utilities - Drainage and canals - External lighting such as street lights ### ![tackling jobs with a skid-steer](https://blog.diamondmowers.com/hs-fs/hubfs/tackling-jobs.jpg?width=750&name=tackling-jobs.jpg) ### Tackling Jobs With a Skid-Steer In recent years, the rise in popularity of skid-steers has inspired companies to develop brush cutters and mulchers that universally attach to almost any brand of skid-steer. This flexibility has allowed many private landowners and small contractors alike to take on the work.  Once you’ve decided to take on a land clearing job with a skid-steer – you will have to be prepared to come across various variables on the land you are working, such as:  - Trees and tree stumps - Fence lines - Issues with utilities - Water issues - Rocks - Litter You will be ready to overcome many of these obstacles by easily switching to a buck or other attachment and back quickly, which gives you the ability to reduce the potential for damage to equipment or surroundings before proceeding with brush or land clearing. ### ![heavy duty skid-steer land clearing](https://blog.diamondmowers.com/hs-fs/hubfs/heavy-duty.jpg?width=750&name=heavy-duty.jpg) ### Heavy-Duty Brush and Land Clearing Diamond offers a full line of [skid-steer attachments](https://diamondmowers.com/products/skid-steer-attachments/) to tackle your land clearing needs, which include: - [Rotary Mower](https://diamondmowers.com/products/skid-steer-attachments/skid-steer-rotary-mower/) - clear overgrown brush and small trees quickly and effectively - [Forestry Disc Mulcher](https://diamondmowers.com/products/skid-steer-attachments/skid-steer-forestry-disc-mulcher/) - grind down trees and brush efficiently while working in a rural setting away from objects or other valuables. - [Drum Mulcher](https://diamondmowers.com/products/skid-steer-attachments/skid-steer-drum-mulcher/) – ideal when working in urban areas providing a controlled environment while creating a finished look by turning brush and trees into a fine mulch - [Stump Grinders](https://diamondmowers.com/products/skid-steer-attachments/skid-steer-stump-grinders/) - simple and easy to operate to tackle tree stumps   **Whether you need to prep a site for future development or maintain a park, tree grove, or fence line – turn to Diamond Mowers to get your land clearing job done.** **You can purchase attachments from Diamond Mowers at your** [**local dealer**](https://diamondmowers.com/about/dealer-locator/) **or by [contacting us](https://diamondmowers.com/about/contact-us/) directly.** ## Similar Posts [![Skid Steer vs. Excavator | Which is better for Mulching?](https://blog.diamondmowers.com/hubfs/SK%20vs%20EX%201080x1080-02.png)](https://blog.diamondmowers.com/skid-steer-vs.-excavator) [Skid Steer vs. Excavator | Which is better for Mulching?](https://blog.diamondmowers.com/skid-steer-vs.-excavator) Whether you’re tackling land clearing, forestry work, or vegetation management, your choice of carrier directl… [Read More...](https://blog.diamondmowers.com/skid-steer-vs.-excavator) [![Revenue-Generating Ideas for Summer](https://blog.diamondmowers.com/hubfs/brush-cutter-pro-1.jpg)](https://blog.diamondmowers.com/revenue-generating-ideas-for-summer) [Revenue-Generating Ideas for Summer](https://blog.diamondmowers.com/revenue-generating-ideas-for-summer) Summer doesn’t just bring the heat.
