"The first time I used Al he did a great job replacing my front door. Went away for my brothers celebration of life and called to have my front porch leveled. Because we trusted him and his work we asked if we could do this prior to us coming back. When we got back it was completed,but so the front porch is leaning more and pulling away from my home which it wasn’t before. I called to see if he would come out and check it out. His son came out and stated that yes it isn’t level and pulling away from the house and that he probably should have put more dirt in, and that it would be fixed. So still trusting that they would come back to fix we paid him. This was my mistake I have tried contacting Mr Reed and he blamed it on the person that installed my porch 18 years ago. I would think most contractors worth their weight would check prior to making any changes. So if you feel you wish to have him work on anything you own make sure you are there watching everything you do. I have attached my conversation with him below. You make the decision,but I would never recommend him or his business Al Reed Builders LLC. Al (Allen) Reed Owner/CEO. I tried to work this out and he blocked our phone number after getting rude."

Building site preparation and clearings FAQs

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.
