"This is to rescind my previous review - and note my first Angi's fail. Emerald Green Lawn has not scheduled work completion and is being unresponsive. I cannot reach them via email, phone or text (via Angi). My initial interactions with this company were good - they were friendly and attentive, having slit-seeded my back yard and we actually saw some grass grow back there before the August drought took hold. I hadn't heard from the company since but did not expect to until September. I had paid in advance for fall services (aeration, overseeding) and was looking forward to that process starting, but it is now October and all attempts to contact the company have failed. Having left an email, voice mail and a direct text (I had from previous correspondence) was to no avail. Calls are consistently routed to voice mail, and I have not received any return calls. At this point, I'm unsure if I'm being ghosted by this company or they simply no longer exist. "

FAQs for building site preparation and clearing projects in Columbus, OH

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.
