Land Clearing
Land clearing is required by law in Portugal, and for good reason: a clear plot protects your home and your neighbours from fire. We do the complete clearing and brush-cutting work, so your land is in order.
A legal obligation
In Portugal, plots near dwellings must be kept clear of brush within the deadlines set each year. Owners who do not clear risk heavy fines. A plot dealt with in time avoids both the scare and the fine.
Fire safety
Dry brush is fuel. Reducing the brush load around houses and access paths is one of the most effective ways to lower rural fire risk, especially before summer.
The complete job
We do the complete clearing and brush-cutting job, including dealing with the cut material: it can be chipped on site and turned into mulch instead of being burned.

Frequently asked questions
Is land clearing really mandatory?
Yes. Portuguese law requires fuel-management strips to be kept clear around buildings in rural areas, with annual deadlines and inspections. Non-compliance can result in significant fines.
When is the best time to clear a plot?
Before the heat. Clearing in spring keeps the plot within the legal deadlines and cuts the fuel load before fire season. A plot maintained year on year is also cheaper to clear.
