"Wanted to give First Choice Grading & Septic Services praise for their prompt response when I needed a septic tank replaced within 7 days. The owner, Bobby came out on 6/18/25 to give me a quote and was able to coordinate with the delivery of a new septic tank and inspection for the following day. Bobby and his crew arrived the next morning at 8:30AM and pumped, crushed, removed the old tank and leveled the ground for new tank before noon. He had coordinate delivery of the new tank at 12:30 and had tank installed and code inspection by 3:15 PM. Code Inspector also praised Bobby for the quality of the install and going above code on plumbing. Bobby checked both D-boxes with his camera system also. I am grateful for Bobby's expertise on the install knowing I will have decades of reliability. After the install, Bobby was meticulous on grading the property where the tank was installed. I highly recommend First Choice Grading and Septic Services for all you septic needs. "

FAQs for building site preparation and clearing projects in Charlotte, NC

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.
