"I needed my backyard landscaped for a new home build, and the yard stayed flooded all winter. Gary knew immediately what we needed to do, and had a plan in mind already to take care of the drainage problem while finishing off the landscaping with sprinklers, rock, and sod. I couldn’t be happier with the results. Gary is a pleasure to work with, and his crew is amazing. Communication is a breeze; I never had to wait to hear back from him. He was fast when it came to getting the estimate to me, and he was fast to respond anytime I had a question. His entire crew is professional, on time, and they care about everything they are doing from starting the project, to cleaning up when they are done. I would say they go above and beyond. Without question, I will call Gary if/when I have a project in the future."

"Of the six companies I talked with, TRC showed up on time to examine the site and provide an accurate estimate. Others did not show up. TRC was up front about a start date due to their work load. Due to our flexibility, they were able to fit our "small" job into their work flow earlier than thought. The job crew show up the day prior to review the job site and coordinate start times, material delivery and job completion. They started on time and completed the entire job in one day. Most excellent work. Very professional team. Would most definitely recommend."

"Tom and Josh Turney did an amazing job for us! They removed our old cedar fence and replaced it with a beautiful new cedar fence with solid, and sturdy black steel fence posts. This fence will not only last much longer than our old fence with wooden posts but it is a beauty to look at. We will be enjoying our backyard for many years to come."

"We hired Jeremiah two times- the first time we called him for help with a potential water issue due to the grading around our home. He analyzed the problem, developed the solution- communicated it all clearly to us and then worked his magic. He installed a French drain and graded our property around some very technical constraints, sidewalk, existing hardscaping and giant trees. Our problem was totally fixed - more than that, he left the entire area neat and cleaned up. I've never seen a guy work so efficiently. We hired him again when our main water line went out between our well and our house. Again, he had to work his magic in a very technical area, beneath a grape arbor and existing landscaping. The plumber asked for his number because he said he had never seen such exacting work. He had the grade for the pipe just right, the depth, everything. With minimal disruption. The guy is a real gentleman. A clear communicator whose work is confirmation of his professionalism. Rare."

FAQs for building site preparation and clearing projects in Boise, ID

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.
