"Jared quoted a regrade landscaping project for us to control water across our driveway. His quote was very detailed and his explanation of the job was clear. Jared arrived as expected and handled the job efficiently. We had a major rain storm the day after he completed the job, and he checked in with us to ensure the water was flowing as expected. We were so impressed with his professionalism and quality of work, that we hired him for a follow on job to re-grade and seed our entire front lawn. I would highly recommend him for any grading, landscaping, and excavating you need."

"We interviewed 3 contractors. The quotes were close, but we felt more confident with Shawn's vision. We had a very large area to excavate and landscape. We had many trees removed and close to some wetland area which could not be disturbed. Shawn had a vision and we let him run with it. Timing wise he finished up just prior to the start of many long periods of rain. It was a very big project, and he mostly worked alone. He brought in some help for top soil raking and prep for the hydro seed. Shawn is a good guy. Very pleased with his work and glad he's out there doing the this work. We love the yard, it came out great."

"Konnaugh and his team were a pleasure to work with. They showed up on time, and after demolishing and removing a hot tub and a chicken coop, they left my yard practically spotless! They did such a great job, I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for junk removal or yard cleanup ??"

"James is always easy to reach, shows up when he says he will, gets the job done (and I have dangerously steep driveway). Reliable, patient. My only "problem" is that the plow swings by and piles snow up against the garage door I need to leave from so I have to shovel that away before it freezes, then I get stuck. As long as I'm timely this is not that big of an issue and is manageable. Very pleased. This is my 2nd year with Littlewoods, and I plan on continuing to do business."

FAQs for building site preparation and clearing projects in Auburn, NH

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.
