Improve Your Land
In order to maximize the property value and enjoyment of your land, consider these land improvements. Firebreaks, food plots, scrub & brush clearing, and connecting internal trails and roads greatly enhance property value and personal enjoyment of your land. Consider a phased approach. |
Improvement(s) | Benefit(s) |
| Phase I | |
| Consider a fairly modern survey of your land as an asset. If you are putting your land on the market, a survey will generally be necessary to confirm acreage. Buyers like seeing a recent survey so they know exactly what they are getting. |
| Clearly marked corners and land lines are a plus when showing property and essential to move forward with Phase II enhancements described below. |
| Phase II | |
| Ability to get around the property to show borders and/or enjoy the land. Given the combination of drought, lightning strikes, accidents, and mischievous behavior, firebreaks can save timber and the value of your property. Plant to control erosion and attract wildlife. |
| Attract wildlife. Visual appeal. |
| Ability to view property. Well kept, beautiful green fields have visual appeal year-round. Bush hogging road edges, open fields, and neglected pastureland makes a huge difference in terms of visual appeal. Heavy scrub and brush clearing / mulching eliminates competition for desirable species and creates visual appeal. |
| Ability to tour and enjoy property. Hike / mountain bike / dirt bike / 4 wheel. Wildlife will use these pathways. Smoothing out rutted internal roads, installing culverts, water-bars and turnouts where needed will allow improved travel. |
| Security and visual appeal. Consider setting the gate back to allow the ability to pull in with a trailer and be off the public road. |
| Fun |
| Clear lanes for hunting / shooting. |
Level, clear out camp / RV site... fire ring | Fun, fire safety. Showcase possible building sites. |
| Phase III | |
| Healthy forest. Income. Many of these activities would require the services of a registered forester. |
| Support horses and/or cattle. |
| Generally increases the value of every acre. Stock fish. Appropriate permits required. |
landowners - land clean up works! One would not dream of putting a house on the market with unsightly "street appeal". The same is true with land. I have personally experienced completing a land clean up project on a Monday, and the property sold itself that Wednesday. On another tract, I was with the dozer man managing a clean up project at 9:00am, by 3:00pm that day we had a contract with the first prospect that toured the tract! Yes, these are extraordinary (but true) experiences - point being - land clean up and improvement works. landcrawler can help you realize your land enhancement goals. We have been involved with the improvement and enhancement of hundreds of acres of land. As with any project, a master plan is essential to success.
