Specializing in decks and remodeling we can install appliances,doors,tubs also offer excavator warm and tree trimming and removal

"It went great! He showed up the day he said he would, completed his work in a timely manner, and did a great job. He is a very down to earth guy, easy to talk to, and work with. His prices were fair. He completed everything I asked, and did it the way I wanted, except one or two small things he changed, because the way I had envisioned it was not feasible because of longevity of the project. His changes meant I would be able to enjoy it for years to come. Also, some things I didn't quite know how I wanted done, so we sat down and I gave him a vague idea of what I wanted and he made suggestions until we came up with something I liked. Overall, I had a very positive experience and will be using him again anytime I need a service he offers."

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.
