Increase Property Value by Selective Clearing
Recently
we cleared a two and a half acre lot in River Crossing on
281 north of San Antonio. It had been for sale by owner
for over a year. In the week after clearing the owner received
two calls on it; this was more response than he had in six
months.
If a
piece of land is over infested with Juniper, clearing will
have many positive effects. Water conservation, other tree
improvements, and grass restoration have been discussed
in previous articles. Other important aspects that will
increase are the usability, curb appeal, and value. The
increase will be more than the cost of clearing, particularly
if it is done correctly in conjunction with a land restoration
program.
Another
project we are working on is a 60-acre job that was so thick
it was useless for grazing, the owner¹s desired purpose.
This project is showing amazing results that we are very
proud of. Pictures of both mentioned projects are available
on our website, restoreyourland.com
If you
have land for sale you will find that a professional clearing
job will expedite a successful close. Many people have difficulty
visualizing what a property will look like with a mass of
trees in the way. Even after seeing many properties it is
often a pleasant surprise how beautiful they become with
a little work. Oaks and other trees appear that seemingly
were not there.
On the
flip side, if you are looking for a piece of land in the
Hill Country, use your imagination. Buying an over infested
property can save money. Consider taking an eight-foot stepladder
to determine if there are views obstructed by the cedar,
as often is the case around here. Costs estimates can be
provided for use in figuring the overall cost of the land.
Lastly,
as a shameful plug, clearing and land restoration make wonderful
Christmas presents. Everyone involved with Greater Wimberley
Construction, Inc. wish you and your families and friends
a fun, safe, and spiritual holiday season. We are thankful
for our initial success and look forward to working with
more of you next year!
