"Our foundation was damaged and walls were sinking after damage from Helene, and the situation was getting urgent. Another company quoted nearly $65,000, which simply wasn’t realistic for us. David from Gibson Grading and Construction took the time to actually assess the problem and came up with a solid, practical solution at about a quarter of that cost. David and his workers were punctual, worked through cold weather without complaint, and treated both the job and our home with respect. David was straightforward, professional, and clearly experienced, but what stood out most was his willingness to work with people based on their real-world situations instead of pushing unnecessary work. David got the floors and walls level again and cracking has stopped. I’m grateful for his honesty, work ethic, and problem-solving approach, and I would absolutely recommend Gibson Grading and Construction to anyone dealing with foundation or drainage issues. Will hire again for other projects. "

"2 thumbs up from me. I contracted with Jared and his team to remodel and update a wraparound deck. The work included beefing up the sub-structure, creating a completely new staircase, adding new railings and re-decking with composite boards - all done about 20 feet in the air perched out over a mountain. All of this work was done at my cabin in Mars Hill while I was in Florida. I can say that he does quality work at a fair price and on time... what more can you ask. I will definitely work with him again."

"Mr. Grayson Brookshire was very professional. When he came out to inspect the job, he gave me an estimate. The final cost was less than what he quoted. His crew was very hardworking, courteous, respectful of the property, and did an excellent job."

"We've used K&B several times over the years, and we're so grateful to have found contractors we trust. These guys are honest, communicative, show up when they say they will, and thoughtful. They not only do amazing work, they're just good people. Most recently, they did major repairs on our home after damage from Hurricane Helene. One deck was completely destroyed, the other had extensive damage, the roof needed repairs, and our fence. It was a lot of work. I'll never forget their care and concern, and their meticulous work on our home. We knew we were in good hands during one of the most stressful times of our lives. Thank you, K&B!!"

FAQs for building site preparation and clearing projects in Asheville, NC

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.
