We are committed quality work and outstanding results & are strongly involved in local community activities. We look forward to working with you!

"Installing pavers went fine for the most part. However very disorganized and all over the place when it comes to everything else. Including getting a permit (multiple errors on submitting for permit), drainage with gutter system (overflowed every time it rained, fixed but just dumps to side of yard), mulch (overpriced and mushrooms within a week), grass to fix yard ruined by excavator (used cheapest grass seed that is very different from original grass and netting killed all the grass anyway), ditching project at the end and didn?t stain wood for our patio roof and never gave us paver footings we paid for. Also doesn?t do patio roofs and had to go through another company. Mike wanted to supply the cedar but ended up the wood wasn?t cut right and instead of helping out with the issue, I had to fix it all with the patio roof company myself. Many other things, but long story short paver process was just okay, anything else is a nightmare."

FAQs for building site preparation and clearing projects in Hellertown, PA

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.
