"I am never one to write a negative review. I go out of my way to support small businesses and refer; but this will be the exception. We hired GBC for a $106,000 bid on our backyard and they left the job expecting payment in full. Their workmanship was sub-par at best. Pavers, unlevel. Stonework and masonry, unfinished and not plum. Left a mess of masonry on new pavers and left our kitchen without electricity, granite and forgot to put in a drain for the outdoor sink which we cannot install now because of their lack of pre-direction. The foreman also harassed my neighbor and their construction contractor and was out of line and unprofessional in many instances. I am appalled at the quality of work, ethics and outcome from this company and feel it’s my obligation to help protect others from their poor workmanship. It’s been a lesson for us, we hope others don’t have to deal with the same."

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.
