Firebreak construction is a method used to slow down the spread of an uncontrolled wildfire by providing a barrier of cleared land. Firebreaks are typically constructed by removing highly flammable vegetation, thinning the forest canopy, and digging trenches or constructing fire walls. Firebreaks can also be constructed by plowing, removing vegetation, and creating water barriers such as ponds or canals. Learn more here.

Tree removal is the process of cutting down trees, cutting them down to stumps and removing stumps, and disposing of the cut trees and stumps. Tree removal is done to clear land for development, remove hazardous trees, or to make room for new plantings. In some cases, land is cleared and left to natural regrowth or it is replanted with more desirable trees. Learn more here.

Gravel pushing is a process of filling in the gaps between fence posts with gravel. It is an inexpensive way to prevent erosion and add to the stability of the fence. It also keeps animals from digging under the fence or kicking loose dirt or mud into the bottom of the fence. The gravel should be used along roadsides and around gated areas to keep vegetation and soil from eroding away. Learn more here.

Contour backfilling is a technique that is used during the contouring process to fill in any remaining flat or low-lying areas between contours. It is used to create a smooth transition between different contours and to make the image more visually appealing, while also conveying all of the data accurately. Learn more here.

Stockpiling for gravel and limestone is the storing of material in a specified area, which has been extracted from a quarry or mine, for later use in construction projects or other uses. This stockpiling process involves excavating, transporting and storing the material in such a way that it can be easily accessed and used in the future. This method of stockpiling is beneficial because it allows the material to be available when it is needed instead of having to go through the process of sourcing it each time. Learn more here.
