"He did a great Sales Offer and was great when starting landscaping/ grading to level ground for foundation. But once the building parts were delivered he stopped working They dug the perimeter to the building. The dumpster was repossessed late at night. Two weeks later they came and picked up all their machinery. Trey said he was waiting for 3 days of dry weather to lay concrete. We had 10 days in April. We were already passed first promise due date of April 1st. But now he says he is waiting on inspections. 1st inspection failed due to uneven foundation sand and deer prints, Permits were not collected in February as was told in February that he was getting them with signed documents from me giving him permission to get them. All payments made prior to March to keep workers on the job. They did not fulfill their end of agreement to be paid in advance, Flood vents were suppose to be ordered in January with rest of garage -- done by call to Spry Steel via conference call by Tres, me and Samantha of Spry Steel. Somehow they were overlooked and had to be reordered in May, after second completion date of May 1st. Tres has made no attempt to get anything done since perimeter dug. Last I heard he was having trouble getting inspection of dugout perimeter to get concrete. But I have been told by other contractors that they area is not dug properly and the plastic and rebar need to be spread in the area where building is to be built. The rebar and plastic are sitting in puddles of mud where it has rained over the months and Trey has not bothered to move. Rebar has grass and weeds growing over it. Plastic is becoming useless as it deteriorates in the sun and mud."

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.
