"We cannot say enough positive things about our experience with Black Diamond Paver Stones & Landscape, Inc., our project manager Nick Miller, our foreman Raymundo and his wonderful hardworking crew/sons. It was very refreshing and relieving to find a company and individuals that we not only trust but do remarkable work. My wife and I were budgeting for a project to replace our back lawn (or what was left of it) with synthetic turf so that our young kids had a safe and clean play area. We received several quotes from other companies but ultimately chose Black Diamond because of Nick. From the first day we met Nick and throughout the entire project, Nick was easy to reach, professional, knowledgeable, and understanding when our toddlers were competing for attention (i.e., having meltdowns). At no point did Nick make us feel pressured or like we were being difficult (even when we probably were). He simply answered our questions, gave us recommendations, and ultimately let us choose what worked best for our needs. Raymundo and his team quickly began work after coming to an agreement on the scope of the project. Our project began relatively small but evolved once we saw the amazing quality of Raymundo’s work and included an expansion of our back lawn, mow strips (front and back), replacement of our front walkway, added steps with lights, and paver overlay of our front porch. The quality of Raymundo’s work is unparalleled to any other company we have worked with in the past. Aside from their knowledge and quality of their work, Nick and Raymundo both stand out from others because of their honesty and flexibility. They both went above and beyond our expectations and kept us involved and informed throughout the project. There were a few times during the project that they let me know of minor changes or issues. These were often so minor that I would not have even known or noticed but they were transparent, which allowed us to have a conversation and come to an agreement on next steps. There were many more times where we came to them with questions or changes and they were equally willing to have a conversation and accommodate us whenever possible. My wife and I could not be happier with the outcome of the work with Black Diamond, Nick, and Raymundo. We have already referred them to several family members and friends and will certainly be using them again for future projects."

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.
