"Lisa and her crew are awesome! Lisa has a great business model - a CREW cleans and a normal cleaning on my average-sized house only takes an hour instead of people being in the house ALL day. They do a great job and I can actually trust them - it's a first for me because I have had people that didn't show, left without cleaning, stole things. Not the folks at Clean It Right! I could not be more happy with Lisa and her company. Honestly, it feels so great to know that my home is being taken care of!"

"Ponce, Workhorse's owner, visited the jobsite prior to his crew arriving to review jobsite conditions and ensure his team was prepared. Their work was excellent and prices fair. Workhorse ventures made us feel like a client and we will certainly use them again. I highly recommend these folks for your project too."

I am 22 years old working full time and trying to get a business started on the side. Even though I am young I have lots of experience. I enjoy working I started painting with my family at 5 years old stuck with that for a while. Then went to another company and got more experience in a different trade. I am willing to travel my goal next year is to be near Dallas but will travel back and fourth still. If you need anything done don’t hesitate to reach out and we can meet, make a plan, agree on a price, and get it taken care of for you:) thank you for looking have a great day.

"I was hesitant to hire a company when I could clear my own lot if I just rented the equipment out but I am so glad I did. They cleared my 1/3 acre lot in 4 hours including over a dozen small trees."

"I had a small project in the bedroom that requires customized remodeling, and I am very glad to have hired Julio and his crew for this job. He is experienced in installing insulation and drywall, as well as painting, carpentry, and electrical work. Julio is patient and communicated with me throughout the process. When the job is done, the site was left clean and I damaged. I would definitely hire him again for future work"

"DELIGHTED IN DICKINSON: Thanks to the entire Y.E.S. crew for the fantastic job on our garage buildout in Pedregal! In from the very start, they made excellent suggestions on improvements to my initial floor plan and executed the construction flawlessly and in less time than expected. The quality of the workmanship and the attention to detail exceeded our expectations! I would recommend Y.E.S. to anyone who is looking for excellent craftsmanship at a great price."

FAQs for building site preparation and clearing projects in Galveston, TX

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.
