Small jobs welcome

I’ve been doing tree and skid steer work for about 20 years, customer satisfaction is my goal. The job is not complete until you, the customer, are happy. I am a perfectionist, I like and want stuff done right! I am willing to travel almost anywhere within the state. I am highly efficient in a skid steer and working out of a bucket truck..

"I found P&R Excavating through Angi/HomeAdvisor. I have never been more pleased with a contractor. I had an area with a 10x24 foot storage building and several large trees and brush that needed to be cleared and the site prepared for a new 40x52 foot building. The price quoted was very reasonable and even though they ran into some unforeseen problems they stuck to their estimate. Ryan and his crew were polite and easy to work with. Ryan’s experience was evident in the way he tackled the project. They moved the storage building without damaging it, then proceeded methodically to drop the trees with precision avoiding damage to other areas on our property. They then filled, leveled and packed the site for the new building. Ryan was careful and meticulous in his work making sure everything was done to my satisfaction. I highly recommend P&R Excavating."

"Got several bids for the removal of tree in my back yard that was too close to house, and very messy. Mr Jones came to my house and i was given a price much less than 2 other company's . I hired, and they came and tree was gone in a matter of hours, tree stump removed. Couldn't be happier with professionalism and care of property. Should I ever need another tree removed, All American Tree Service will be the first and only call I will make!"

FAQs for building site preparation and clearing projects in Addison, AL

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.
