"They were great!! Rick and his helper were friendly, professional and at a fair price. Rick gave other options to what I was looking for that saved me money. He gave what he promised in the time frame he quoted. They also went above and beyond by offering their help when I needed an extra hand moving a heavy truck cap. They were happy to help. I was so happy with the result of their work I would highly recommend them to anyone. Thank you Rick!!!"

"Josh at Northwestern was very reliable and installed my block retaining wall and related landscaping including stone top soil plants shrubs resulting in a quality finished product. And the best part is that there was no resulting damage to my driveway and lawn when using the mini-excavator because Josh took the necessary precautions. I am very pleased. I highly recommend Northwestern!"

"I had a great experience with this handyman. Very affordable, professional, and reliable. He showed up on time, explained what needed to be done clearly, and finished the job quickly without cutting corners. The quality of work was excellent, especially for the price. It?s hard to find someone honest and skilled these days, but this is definitely someone I?d recommend and hire again."

"Dirt Werx is lead by professionals who know their business. They did the job quickly and were able to access issues they ran into and adjust accordingly. They kept constant communication and were very clear with what direction the project needed to take. When they were done they cleaned up the area to the point that one would not know they were ever there!"

"My Sister & Brother in law just bought a house in the Bethlehem area. They left NJ because of very steep and quick rising taxes there among other issues. They needed a fence quickly because they have been rescuing Grey Hound dogs for decades from the abuse of the Dog Racing Owners and the Dogs need to run at least twice a day. So I set up estimates for the fencing which had to come first. One Nationally known company didn't even show up for the estimate and several other well known National Companies where so expensive they nearly doubled the inflation calculations on fencing I did for my Sister. Scott's Property Services were clearly the exception. They gave a great price and did an excellent job to better specifications than the Big companies said they would provide for much more money. From the depth of cement grounding of the Fence posts to the gauge of the chain link. An absolutely top notch job that was finished in a few days for a lower price by far of anyone around. My Sister and her Husband were extremely pleased with Scott's Property Services quality and work ethic. I've lived in PA for 20 years and my Sister & her husband got to see the kind of people and craftsmanship in Pennsylvania that I've been mentioning for years. If you need Property work or Home Improvement you would be cheating yourself if you didn't call Scott's Company in for a quote on the work you want done on your property. Thank you, Sam White"

"Jeremy and his employees were all very professional. They were on schedule and came at the same time each day. When searching for quotes from many different contractors he came in much less and was very helpful with modifying things to stay within our budget. His quote was very detailed and broke down what each item would cost for both materials and labor and he even included pictures of each item. Any minimal things to fix after the project was complete he was extremely attentive and made it a point to come back right away and fix it to our satisfaction. It was very important to me to feel comfortable with people in our house every day having small children and they all made a point to be very respectful of the kids and went out of their way to be friendly to them also. I would definitely recommend using transcendental furniture and will be using them for future projects."

"Dear Angi, Chris Clark, the owner of Clark Chimney & Masonry, came out to my home within a few days after our initial phone conversation... He provided me with an estimate later that day... He arrived with his Crew a day later which I found to be very impressive... I originally thought it would be several months before the project could even be started!!! The two Fellows working for him were extremely Professional, Kind, Respectful, and Courteous... Not only did they do my Pellet Stove Installation, they also moved around furniture for me to help clear up my living space... Chris and his Crew did an amazing job and I am so grateful... Now, my Family and I can enjoy the wonderful warmth of our pellet stove... Many Thankx to Clark Chimney & Masonry... You have truly earned our future business..."

FAQs for building site preparation and clearing projects in Allentown, PA

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.
