"My 450 ft long driveway badly needed to be regraded and needed a solution to the 2-3 seasonal springs that drained and washed and created deep ruts all winter and spring. TSS came and really studied the problems of the driveway, figured out a great multiple pipe drainage solution, regraded, dug out a boulder that was slowly working its way to the surface, installed the pipes. They used larger gravel around the pipes and a thick layer of gravel and dust over everything. Then rolled/compacted it all with a 3 ton roller. All of this in one day. They were very easy to work with, really listened to all of the unique issues the driveway has, carefully dug out peonies that were in the way of one pipe's end. They did a wonderful job and I'm hoping I can hire them to clear a couple of difficult hillsides befor winter too. First time in years that I can ask people to my house and not explain how to get up the driveway!"

"Very reasonable estimate. Dug up old bushes and planted new dwarf hydrangea's, planted day lilies on opposite side of house. Cleaned out area around mail box and installed decorative gravel, removed all weeds, trimmed all box woods, and laid down new mulch. I will definitely be calling them in the spring to get on their maintenance program."

"This is the best business we have ever worked with! Sean was responsive, professional and incredibly helpful every step of the way. He is very knowledgeable of what needs to be done, and educates you throughout the process. Our job (the installation of an EPA septic system) was completed quickly, efficiently, and without incident. We had to contact numerous companies to work toward getting this job done. Many didn't even return calls. Many were unresponsive once they had been out. Two acted as though we were at their whim and totally unimportant. P&G appreciates, respects and works to do all they can to HELP their customers. We are so pleased with their business acumen! Hiring P&G for your job will be the best move you could make! Amazing work, fair pricing, and the most pleasant to work with!"

FAQs for building site preparation and clearing projects in Dayton, 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.
