"I had Anthony & Sylvan install my brand new beautiful pool in 2019 we are now in 2025 my copping of my pool looks like crap because whatever material that they use is cheap and very bad. I contacted Anthony & Sylvan customer service to make a complaint and they said that my warranty is no longer in effect. I spent almost $90k for my pool and I except for materials to be good but Anthony & Sylvan they use cheap crap but charge you arm and a leg for them. They are good in selling but good to stand after their product. People be on look out. I will never send anyone to them. I am very ****** off and disappointed. My pool looks like crap now with the copping that they put up. I wish I knew that earlier."

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.
