"Had a scheduling snafu in the beginning that was worked out. They replaced 3 anti siphon valves. They were suppose to find and repair/replace all the sprinklers When they left everything was working. Today everything is not working. Spoke with someone and was told they did not touch certain sprinklers (not sure why I did say all sprinklers in my front yard). I now have to figure they rest out myself which will probably be replacing all the sprinkler heads (I did tell them that they could do that if needed). The work that was actually done was good but I feel that they did not complete what I requested. Not did they provide me with the instructions that I just received on the phone. If you need major repairs I might look around before I would go with No limit."

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.
