"Our patio was completely rebuilt with new pavers for $$,$$$. Almost immediately the pavers started to collapse. Initially they came out to do repairs, and kept saying this shouldn't be happening and seemed perplexed why this kept on occurring. It is now the 6th or 7th time in 2 years this has happened, and after repeated phone calls/emails....they WILL NOT respond. In my opinion....they're crooks! Save your money!! Any landscaping business with integrity would get to the bottom of this issue...instead of plopping a bandage on it. And just to be clear...our previous patio never had this issue."

Excavation & Foundation Contractor, Located in Yonkers, Servicing Westchester & 5 Borough's. Specializing in Excavation, SOE, Rock Removal, Trucking, Concrete Foundations.
"KNR took down a compromised tree on steep compromised slope, with no way to bring in big machinery, to save my house after a major washout. We are continuing to work together to stabilize the slope and keep the house from collapsing. After a major storm (Ida leftovers), the 8'-high retaining wall 20' behind my house became a 20'-high sheer sand slope a few feet from my house. I was desperate, and no other excavation contractors would even answer their phones. With KNR, communication was fast and clear, both by phone and over email. Keith came out to look the day after we called them; had an itemized proposal for me next morning; and came out to take down the tree that afternoon - we needed it gone before the forecast high winds arrived in the evening. Thanks to KNR, I still have a house - if the tree blew over, it could easily take a corner of the house with it. We are continuing to work with them on excavating work to stabilize the slope behind my house. Keith had better ideas for emergency slope repairs than some of the engineers I talked to, and gave me much better prices than others, both for the tree work completed and for the excavating work to come. When the tree job took much longer than expected, there was no mention of extra pay. Many other builders rush their work, but Keith takes the time to think through what he is doing, to make sure he is doing it right and doing it safely. I am deeply grateful to KNR for quickly and efficiently coming to my rescue in a major emergency."

ERC Environmental is a state certified, licensed, reputable and professional oil tank removal and cleanup company. Talk to us about your tank today.
"I had a good experience with the oil tank removal. However, they weren’t clear about charges. I agreed to hire them because in shopping for estimates they were the middle man. However, look at the estimate carefully. If any permits need to be pulled they put “permit”-TBD and charge $150 to obtain the permit. So when I received there estimate I thought that was the complete estimate and there would be no other charges. This was not true. I paid half up front and the other half was due when the job was complete. When the job was complete I had an addition charge of $400 for obtaining the permit and the permit itself. When I explained my situation and asked that they give some type of credit with the $150 they threatened to sue me and put a lien on my house. Do I think it would go that far “NO”. Attorneys are very expensive. However, I will not be referring them to anyone because of the sneaky manner in which they charge and also the threatening manner in which they ended the job. It’s not worth the headache though. If $400 is going to make such a difference I will pay it. Stay away charged are not clear. When they found out how much the permit would cost I believe they should have informed me as well as informed me that it would cost $150 to obtain the permit."

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.
