For your septic, sewer and excavating needs, trust in experience. No problem is too big or small. Call Chamberlain Septic and Sewer today for quality customer service you can count on and advice you can trust. Family owned business for over 40 years!

"I have used Chamberlain Septic for years pumping out and maintaining my septic system. They have always been efficient and reliable. I needed to replace my ancient septic tank with a new one, so I called for an estimate, then got sidetracked by claims from the Town that there was a sewer line to connect to. This proved to be false but took a month to resolve the issue. I contacted Dean Beh to install the septic tank. He had a topflight two-man crew out within a week, and they had the new tank installed and connected in two days. It was a great job."

FAQs for building site preparation and clearing projects in Canandaigua, NY

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.
