"Austin Powell, the owner of Alps Tree Care, was exceptionally responsive and professional throughout the course of the project, being the removal of 10 mature, (partially to fully) diseased ash trees that we situated within striking distance of my house. Austin visited my property the morning after I called him to provide a quote. His price was at the lower end of multiple bids that I had received from a few of his local competitors. I accepted his bid because he patiently explained, with the confidence of an experienced arborist, how he was going to remove the trees without accidentally crushing my house...which was a nightmare scenario which was easily imagined if you viewed the trees that I needed removed. On the first day of the tree removal, Austin and his team, which included his fit as fiddle mother, worked with military precision to simultaneously fell seven of the trees, wood chip the branches that were not going to be cut up for firewood, while cleaning up the debris that accumulated around the house. The downed trees were then chain sawed into logs that were sized in length for firewood. The second day the rest of the trees were taken down and my property was cleaned up in spectacular fashion. On the third day Austin showed up with a team of modern day Paul Bunyans, sharpened axes in hand (and a gas-powered log splitter as backup), who proceeded to split the logs into 4-5 cords of firewood. It was an amazing feat of strength and skill...and great spectator sport. They situated the green wood into two piles, with easy access to my two woodsheds. I will move the firewood to the woodsheds after a few months of outdoor curing. All that said, I would not hesitate to recommended Alps Tree Care."

"The principal came within the hour on a Sunday to review the scope of work and provided a written estimate. I asked for and received a copy of insurance certificates. Work was performed by two men over several days in two segments. All work on the original scope as well as some additional work was performed neatly and completely. Work was performed while I was away and on weekends when I was home.
I did not have the stumps ground down because there were too many and I had them removed completely by an excavator.

FAQs for building site preparation and clearing projects in Ellenville, NY

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.
