"I had two very large (over 40’ tall) dead cottonwood trees that I needed to have removed from my back yard before being able to put my house up for sale. I got several bids and decided to go with Tree Toppin. These trees had a ton of branches and there were many that were hanging over the house, the fence going to my neighbors yard, and over our covered deck. We live on the corner of a cul-du-sac, but we have a smaller yard, so these trees could not simply be cut down quickly. The two-man crew meticulously took down each branch, one-by-one, in order to control the decent and not cause damage to my neighbor’s or my property. This was nice because I never heard any crashing of branches hitting the ground, which would also have disturbed my neighbors and my dogs. The trunks of the trees were also another challenge since they were very thick and heavy, but the crew cut them down close to the ground as I did not request stump grinding for this project. The project took two days in total and everything was removed with very little wood shavings left. The crew was on time each morning and they worked very hard to ensure that the job was done right and that there was no property damage at all. I am very happy with the work that was completed for us. Thank you Tree Toppin Services!"

"They agreed to cut down our tree for a specific price. They postponed their work date 3 times, and then cancelled completely. This is very unprofessional, and wastes everyone's time. "

"Jen2 Excavating is an exceptional company in multiple ways. Yes, Marcus Garcia and his Jen2 team are prompt, polite, hardworking, from start to finish and estimate and price the work accurately and fairly. There is more to the story. We attempted to contact eight Pueblo and Pueblo West Companies to clear the tall grass, weeds, and brush that was rapidly overtaking our desert landscaped property. We sent them all a brief standardized description of the work and the land areas involved. Jen2 alone, responded immediately, came out the same day to estimate the work, and a week later our acre size yard was restored and cleared, and we were delighted with the work done. The other service companies contacted either failed to respond altogether or sent prefabricated emails and text messages within the time it took Jen2 to finish the work. So, start by contacting Jen2 if you have tall grass, weeds, and brush removal job, and avoid the disinterested candidates."

"He was really professional. Told me exactly what he was going to do and broke the invoice down and showed me exactly where my money was going. He was on time got the job done exactly how he said he was going to. Cleaned up after the job was done and left my place better then when he got there. I will be using him for other projects in the future. Highly recommend him and his crew. "

FAQs for building site preparation and clearing projects in Colorado Springs, CO

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.
