"High Five, Back Slap, Handshake, and a Great Big THANK YOU to the Septic Solution Team. Finding out your leach field has failed after only living in your house for 1 year is not a good time. They came they saw and they conquered! Wayne was honest and very upfront with us on what we needed what it would cost and what would happen. The work crew was here when they said and they worked hard each day all while being as careful of their surroundings as they could while digging massive holes in my backyard and being patient with my overly friendly dog each day. They answered all my questions, probably multiple times, and then they answered them again when the hubby came home. They all worked hard to accomplish the task at hand and then they went above it all and put our yard back together again, minus the grass. We can’t thank Wayne, Derek, Gary, Robert and Cameron enough for making this nasty problem disappear. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!!!"

Since 2001, Carlos Landscaping has provided Anchorage and Surrounding Areas with beautiful landscaping and great customer service for families to enjoy. We offer several services to our Alaskan customers ranging new lawn installation, planting trees, shrubs and flowers to snow removal in the winter months. We stand behind our work. Our commitment is to provide the best services at a reasonable rate for our customers.

"It didn't go at all. Carlos came out in May, told me he would do the job, told me to buy a pond liner and then he'd get to it. So, I spent $350 on a pond liner. Waited. And waited. Texted Carlos multiple times. No answer. Finally called him, he actually answered (this was June) and told me I was next on the list, as soon as he finished his current project. But still no estimate. I gave up calling and texting. It is now late September, and still no response. Thanks a lot, Carlos."

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.
