Hello everyone,

I’m interested in hearing your opinions on the topic mentioned above.
We have looked at a plot of land that seems quite good in terms of price, size, and location.
The only downside is that it’s quite overgrown. It also appears that there are some large, mature trees on it.
The plot is about 1300 m² (14000 ft²). Has anyone had experience with clearing land like this and can provide a rough price estimate? Of course, this depends on the type of vegetation and can’t be generalized, but maybe someone has bought a plot that was heavily overgrown with trees and shrubs.

Apart from trees, I suppose I could dig out the shrubs myself to save a bit of money, right? I’m pretty strong.

Quick update: I borrowed a brush cutter from my girlfriend’s father and after about 4-5 hours, the 1500m² (16,145 sq ft) of overgrowth was cleared and raked into several piles.

Whether it was absolutely necessary, I’m not sure. However, the surveyor’s corner markers are now easier to see, and it was a lot of fun.
