Owning rural land is rewarding, but nature doesn’t take breaks. Without seasonal care, your property can quickly become overgrown, eroded, or inaccessible. That’s why having a year-round land maintenance plan is one of the smartest ways to protect your property—and make steady progress toward your goals.

At Southern Land Specialist, we help landowners tackle seasonal tasks with expert land services, from brush clearing to grading, trail upkeep, and drainage management.

🌱 SPRING: Assess, Repair & Reclaim

Spring Checklist:

• Inspect for winter storm damage or fallen trees
• Regrade washed-out driveways or trails
• Begin first round of brush hogging
• Clean up debris and burn piles
• Check drainage ditches and repair erosion

📌 Spring is the best time to walk the land, plan upgrades, and fix what winter left behind.

☀️ SUMMER: Clear, Build & Expand

Summer Checklist:

• Full-scale brush clearing and mowing
• Cut new trails, fence lines, or driveway extensions
• Grade and prep building pads
• Remove stumps and unwanted trees
• Prep food plots or garden spaces

📌 With long days and dry conditions, summer is the season to make major progress.

🍂 FALL: Finish Projects & Prep for Rain

Fall Checklist:

• Touch up grading around structures and trails
• Clear fence lines and overgrowth before winter
• Burn brush piles if permitted
• Finish pad grading or gravel installs
• Reseed areas to prevent winter erosion

📌 Fall is all about finishing strong and preventing damage before the cold and wet season begins.

❄️ WINTER: Plan Ahead & Clean Up

Winter Checklist:

• Walk your land to scout future projects
• Remove fallen limbs or hazardous trees
• Burn off-season debris piles
• Identify wet areas for spring drainage fixes
• Schedule early spring land prep services

📌 While heavy work may pause, planning now ensures you’re ready to hit the ground running in spring.
