"My yard was a muddy mess, falling apart, and I was having to put more and more blocks under one side of my camper to keep it level. ASL Excavating came in and took a look and, not only complied with my needs and wants, but also gave some great suggestions, like placing an underdrain directly from my downspout sending all the water directly into a drainage gully. We also had a crushed stone pad placed for the camper parking, and along with the new grading it sits perfectly level, no blocking needed. Riprap was placed at the steep slope to prevent erosion. They also graded my driveway, prepping it for my next project, paving. They did the work 14 months ago and it looks as good as the day they finished. They were quick and appeared efficient with some nice technology. They had very little space to work and left no damage behind. Shane is the owner and a great guy to work with. He and his crew have a lot of experience and the pictures of their prior work sold me on hiring ASL Excavating."

"This large, light-colored, machine-made wool Oriental-style rug was given to me. It was used for years in houses with cats (I am deathly allergic to cats and hate the smell) and it had been stored in a damp, musty basement for a year or two after that. It was dirty and smelled very badly of cat urine and mold. This company did a beautiful job cleaning it. There is no remaining smell. The rug looks clean and better yet, feels clean to the touch. There were a few rust spots that had been there for a long time: The prior owner had tried to get them out and hadn't been able to. These did not come completely out, although they are less noticeable, and the company had mentioned in advance that they might not be able to get them out. I had a little trouble with logistics: The rug was brought back a couple of weeks later than I'd asked. At one point I thought the company was asking me for additional payment above what had been agreed on and paid in advance, but this was a mis-communication due to a misplaced invoice and the price originally quoted was honored. The staff were courteous and knowledgeable. The quality of the cleaning was much more important to me than anything else. This was a filthy dirty rug. They did a superb job cleaning it. I would hire them again in a blink."

"Jake and his team were awesome to work with and they'd be the first I'd recommend for any excavation job big or small. He was able to make our vision for a backyard into a reality and worked tirelessly (weekends included) to make it happen. Jake was on time, honest and dependable, which is unheard of in the current market!"

"A great experience from start to finish. Had a gravel road built from our driveway around to the back garden behind our house, along with some landscape work. High quality work. In and out in just a few days. Friendly, hard-working crew. Jarek himself is flexible and attentive. Reasonable price. One of the best experiences we’ve had with a contractor."

FAQs for building site preparation and clearing projects in Bridgton, ME

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.
