Family owned & operated. Cost is determined by the job. Additional emails - david@wacofoundationrepair.com

"I have a serious concern and cannot get anyone to answer me or call me back. We have had the crew out on Wednesday, March 23, 2022 to start the work. They dug ten holes and started the leveling, but then were called to another job and said they would be back on Friday, March 25, 2022. The crew showed up on March 25, 2022, for about 3 hours, did a little bit of leveling, and then said they were called off to another job again. I am on crutches from hip surgery and we have ten holes that were left open in the back of our house (one of which is right outside the back door, which cannot be used in case of an emergency). This is unacceptable. We need the crew sent out and the job completed. Still waiting for David to call or contact us even once since taking half of the money down on the job on February 11, 2022."

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.
