"I recently removed the unstable backyard deck that came with our house and found a pretty terrible drainage situation beneath it. We had a negative grade that made it seem like flooding our foundation was intentional. Nohe called immediately after I reached out to discuss the issue, and asked some good questions, then we scheduled for a visit a couple days later. He showed up a few minutes early, assessed the situation, we discussed a plan and I had an estimate that afternoon. They were at my house first thing the next morning and they were done a few hours later with new drainage installed for the gutters and the yard, the regrading finished, and new sod ready to water. Throughout, the team was on time, every time. The guys on the team were professional and efficient. The team went above and beyond and even fixed a couple other smaller issues on our property.

FAQs for building site preparation and clearing projects in Downers Grove, IL

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.
