"The job was finished quickly and the construction debris was cleaned up. The basement was cleaner than when he showed up. The next time we had a major rain I got some water in the basement again. Steve came back as soon as it was convenient for me. No problems since then. His guarantee was real, there was no charge for rhe come-back.
I will be calling to have Steve come back to expand the drainage system when I have other work done that exposes another section of the basement.

"Willard provided excellent prompt service. They took care of all aspects if my oil tank replacement including transferring oil to the new tank, county permits and inspection reports needed to put the new tank into service. Premium quality materials and workmanship should give me years of trouble free service."

"It went extremely well! They were punctual, hardworking and professional. It was necessary to dig up my neighbor's landscaping, so they were very careful to disturb only what was necessary and to restore everything to its original condition. They even replaced her broken underground downspout extension (which was draining into my basement!) without comment or additional charge. When my neighbor accused them of causing a problem, MJ was quick to respond and the team on-site made a point of apologizing to her in person. I don't think MJ caused the problem, so I was very impressed that they "went high" to investigate the matter and, as I said, apologize for the inconvenience she felt she suffered. The work they did inside to remove mold and seal the wall was thorough and neat. The gentleman doing the work cleaned up everything and took all of his equipment and trash with him. his is especially important since he was working with strong chemicals. My contact in the office was prompt to address anything I threw her way. It was easy to make payments online. Best of all - no sign of water in the basement since they were here!!"

"Work was outstanding. Everything was completed as stated in the contract and done in a timely manner. Gary and Jenny were very helpful in suggestions and sharing ideas that would enhance the decor and make a more beautiful setting. The work was stellar and the workers were very courteous and always left the work site clean and neat. I am very pleased and certainly would use their services again. E. James"

"I hired Ace to clean up the last two autumn's worth of leaves from my yard. The crew of three worked for four hours and cleared the worst of the build-up. They came with all the equipment needed for the job worked diligently for the entire time, and left my yard a lot clearer.

"It went really well. Mr.Kelly and his team were very professional. I didn't know anything about repairing and cleaning a gas fireplace, but Mr.Kelley took the time to explain everything to me. I really appreciated that. I will definitely use them in the future. I would also recommend them to family and friends."

"The entire experience from scheduling an appointment for the plumber as well as the work itself (installing a new sump pump) went exceptionally well. Sergio the plumber was meticulous in his preparations to ensure a successful outcome and he was more than willing to share information about the work he was performing. He exhibited remarkable professionalism for his craft and a very approachable demeanor. We would enthusiastically and without hesitation ask for him in the future. As for the initial contact with the company and the scheduling of the appointment, Pete Kristiansen, was not only helpful but also accurate in his predictions of a time line for the work being accomplished. Kudos to Jiffy Plumbing & Heating, Inc. for an excellent job from start to finish !"

FAQs for building site preparation and clearing projects in Brandywine, MD

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.
