"I was given a timeline on when the project would be finished and they went over by a week and there was stumps left on the site and so much debris left that needed to be hauled off. I had to call another company and hire them to come and get the remaining stumps up and haul the other debris off because he wouldnâ t come back and fix it."

we do land clearing grading trenching bush hogging clean up around ponds and buildings tree removal stump removal/grinding scrape drive ways plow gardens and food plots general tractor work

"Paid him up front for buying the chemicals to spray my field and to remove a tree and stump. Arthur did nothing but give me excuses. We missed a critical date spraying because if him. When I asked for my money back he said he'd bring it over the next day. After texting him twice to find out when he said he didn’t have it. He was supposed to buy the chemicals and he ordered them but never picked them up. I think he used that money for something else and couldn’t spray because he couldn’t buy the chemicals. It was one excuse after another. I even offered him to use my sprayer when he said his was broken but he always found a way not to do it. Very disappointed in his performance of his job"

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.
