"The work we had done by turnethy construction was very fast and precise, we had turnethy excavate and remove an old septic tank. Excavate and grade for the installation of a new one. Turnethy installed the new tank as per the plans. They showed up on time and came prepared. We have used him since with smaller projects and look forward to using them more in the future. Highly recommend, from a satisfied customer."

"I highly recommend NestEx LLC. We needed a gravel pad prepared for 2 sheds on very short notice, and he truly saved the day. Despite the tight timeline, he went out of his way to accommodate us by coming out on a Saturday to get the job done. His professionalism and attention to detail were evident from the moment he started. He meticulously dug out the soil and leveled the entire area before taking his time to expertly layer layer and compact the gravel. You can tell he takes immense pride in his work; the base is rock-solid and perfectly even. What impressed me the most was his thoughtfulness. After finishing a thorough cleanup of the area, he was gracious enough enough to cover the entire pad to protect it from the incoming rain. He wanted to ensure the gravel wouldn’t be compromised so it could harden properly- a level of care you rarely see. If you want someone reliable, hardworking, and genuinely dedicated to quality, look no further. 5 stars all the way."

"Overall it was a good experience. Hired him to build a retaining wall and grade a large section of my backyard. I took a couple stars off for a few things; 1) He never came back to finish filling in the front of the driveway. I know it's not a good idea to pay before the job is completed, but it was such a small area I took the risk. Don't make the same mistake. 2) Lack of attention to detail and laziness. He had to move a few railroad ties out of the way in order to fill and grade the backyard. He set them to the side on an already level part of the yard. When it came time to put top soil down to finish the job, he decided to put top soil around the railroad ties rather than move them out of the way. I know they're heavy, but I moved them out of the way by myself in 20 minutes. He also decided to drive his excavator on top of the top soil after it was down and leveled. He left large tracks in it. 3) I had to do a bunch of extra work I was not expecting to do in order to finish the project. I had to buy and put down additional top soil in some spots and I had to level the top soil again. Not a ton of work, but I don't have the means to get top soil to my house, so several trips and more money when it should have been part of the original job."

"Erik was a pleasure to work with and I would not hesitate to use him again or to recommend him to others. Erik was very professional, working the schedule we'd agreed to and constantly keeping us updated on his progress. He was very meticulous about his work and went "above and beyond" to make sure the project looked fantastic and met our needs and our vision for the project. Each day, he thoroughly cleaned up after work was completed and he made sure all exposed soils were stabilized and covered. He also always used plywood and tarps to protect our driveway and property, so that none of our premises were damaged in any way. He replaced and re-cut several wall blocks when he felt they didn't look as good as they should. We greatly appreciated Erik's hard work, constant attention to detail, and desire and effort to make the project look beautiful. We are very pleased with the end result."

"I have worked with John and Fernando on 2 separate projects and have been pleased with the results. John is very responsive and did a great job helping me with the design. He did not try to oversell me on things I did not need. The crew did a good job on the install and got both projects done quickly."

FAQs for building site preparation and clearing projects in Carnation, WA

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.
