"Paul was very proactive in his approach to our situation. He offered options, knowledge, and practical aspects for us to consider. When we were able to come together on a schedule, he was prompt, did the work as discussed, and left the site clean. We would have no reservation about recommending Paul to anyone that needed his services."

"We had them build steps so we could safely get to part of our property that was not easily accessible. He did a great job, they are very strong and should last a very long time. Started and finished the job when promised. This is the 2nd time we hired them. I would hire them again."

"Exceeded all expectations. Very efficient and careful. This was a very technical job. 3 trees ( blue spruce, and 2 different types of juniper twisted together) were planted too close together and he had to battle his way to the top and then work his way down. I have done my fair share of climbing, but I am 73 years old now and can't do the work anymore. His focus on safety was impresive to this former OSHA coordinator. Do yourself a favor and let these wonderful people fix your yad problems. And yes there is more for them to do here so they will be back."

"We have been using Daily and sons regularly since since 2011. They have done just about everything that can be done on our property from solving major water drainage issues to site prep for our home and installation of a new road to our pad. We’ve used them for building demolition and removal, long distance trenching for utilities and everything in between. They have always been easy to work with and communicated well with us throughout our projects. I found him and his entire crew very knowledgeable. I highly recommend them and will definitely be using them again in the future!"

"Chris Sumpter (owner) was the only company to respond to numerous calls I made for a landscape company. I was not sure what I needed on my new lot. Chris came to meet me and told me his equipment was not suited for my project. He spent time with me explaining what I needed. This saved me time and anxiety. I went out and bought my own tools and will start myself with what needs to be done. I am so grateful for his time and expertise during the busiest time of the year. What a nice person to work with! I highly recommend giving him because of his clarity and great attitude."

FAQs for building site preparation and clearing projects in Grants Pass, OR

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.
