"What great brothers and absolutely the best at what they do! They cut trees down, cleared under brush, made a steep slope not so steep, planted grass, pulled some bushes up. Graded around a 60x40 concrete pad and leveled it until it was even and then put gravel around the entire pad. We both are loving the way everything looks and turned out! Thank you Zack and Patrick! We will definitely use your company again!"

"Shawn was very personable. He came out and gave me a quote for clearing out my woods down to our creek. He did an excellent job, showed up when he said he would and finished the job within a week. We love the view he created for us, keeping the area wooded but clean. He hauled away most of the debris and was able to get a permit to burn the rest. We will use him again in the future."

"Great price, timely and professional. I would recommend you get an estimate from this company when you need trees removed or trimmed. Cleaned up after themselves and made sure I was happy with work before they left. "

"I hired SCC Asphalt to install a new driveway over gravel (Work completed 2/6/19). This was a rather large job with a 100 foot hill leading up to a big circle drive at the top of the driveway. I must say that the professionalism and quality of the work was outstanding. Clint followed through with every aspect of the job with no sidetracks or excuses. What's equally important is Clint's crew. Those guys are top notch. They don't have mere weeks, or months of experience. Many of them have decades in the industry, and talking to them really solidified that importance. I was on the job site the whole time, asking never ending questions, and not once did I feel like I was being a burden, and I always got a great explanation I was very nervous before the job because I did not know what to expect, even though SCC had great reviews on home advisor. However, after watching them work, and seeing my beautiful driveway completed, I had zero doubt that I made the correct choice. Now, I have to be honest and say that, since this is my first experience with Clint, we will see about the service I get if there are any follow-up issues, or when the time comes to seal the driveway. However, I am completely confident that Clint will stand behind his work and ensure that my satisfaction is his highest priority. I realize that being a residential customer, I am not even close to being one of his biggest customers, but I truly felt like I was his only client. To say that I would recommend SSC Asphalt would be a major understatement. Seldom do contractors like Clint come around. He made a name for himself the right way; working hard, honoring his word and staying true what he believes. I have no doubt that Clint, and his business, will continue to be extremely successful in the years to come. I can't wait to see my driveway after he comes back to seal it. As good as it looks now, It's hard to imagine it getting any better. Regards, Mike"

"We had contacted Warren about removing concrete debris. He came on time and did the job quickly. He also took on a second job spreading mulch for us for a reasonable fee. He’s a hard worker, on time and charges reasonable rate."

FAQs for building site preparation and clearing projects in Alto, GA

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.
