"Tony and his crew were absolutely fantastic. My wife and I recently moved to California and found a gorgeous home and lot with a slight incline outback. We had some ideas of what we wanted to do with the mismanaged landscaping, and called AP to come out and take care of our needs. From start to finish the communication was exceptional, and they have all the right equipment and better yet people to take care of things in the proper way. Moving from Texas I was fearful, but already love the local businesses I've worked with ESPECIALLY these guys! Thanks Tony"

"Mogensen Landscaping really sets the bar high for their industry - the whole team we worked with: Erik & Keri, Chris, their designer, and Bryan and his great crew were all wonderful to work with! Throughout the project, the high level of communication and responsiveness was beyond anything we've experienced, and the quality, pride of workmanship and attention to detail was really impressive. We were concerned about some large trees in our yard, and Erik spent extra time with us, listening to our concerns and coming up with a great solution for them. We absolutely love the design that Chris developed for our difficult space, and how Bryan & his crew really brought it to life. We highly recommend the Mogensen team for any landscaping project you have - they do an excellent job and are terrific to work with!"

Building site preparation and clearings FAQs

A professional team can clear an acre of land in as little as two to twelve hours, depending on your land's condition. You'll need to consider factors like vegetation density, terrain features, and obstacles such as trees, stumps, rocks, or existing structures can increase the time required. If your land is heavily wooded or has uneven terrain, expect the process to take longer and require more effort.

If you're looking to clear land for a pasture, expect to pay between $400 and $600 per acre for forestry mulching or $500 to $5,600 per acre for conventional land clearing. When choosing a method, consider:

  • Forestry Mulching: Leaves organic material in the soil, promoting new ground cover growth.

  • Conventional Clearing: You might lose valuable topsoil during this process.

A land-clearing project typically involves several key steps to prepare your property for construction or landscaping. First, assess your land and obtain any necessary permits from your local building department. Then, professionals use specialized equipment to remove trees, stumps, brush, and vegetation. After clearing, they haul away debris and may perform grading to level the land, ensuring it's ready for your intended use.

Preparing land to build a house typically costs between $1,000 and $4,000, depending on your land's size and condition. This includes clearing space for the foundation, which may involve removing trees, stumps, brush, and leveling or grading the site. Don't forget to budget for additional costs like permits, fees, and installing utility connections such as gas lines, water lines, and sewer mains.
