"Sean and his crew did an amazing job on a very tricky situation. We used him for several in side household plumbing jobs and when we were talking about my issues with my drainage on my house he said he could help. The builder did a terrible job with it and we were getting water inside the house. Sean set the plan to dig up, excavate the drainage lines and fix the problem. He communicated often through out the project and got it done ahead of schedule. I highly recommend Sean and his team for any indoor or outdoor plumbing or water issue."

"I choose Landscape Creation company because of the good reviews. Jason and I have been talking about this project since second part of 2012, by the end of August 2013 we finally started the project. Due to the steep slop, the removal of the old railroad ties took longer then we expected. The stone path started from the first batch of stone delivered, the work went well but slow. His crews need to move each stone manually down hill about 150 feet to start. The project was delayed for three weeks (9/20 to 10/10), Jason's crews did not show up and I was calling and text Jason from time to time.He had problem with the stone vender with batch delivery also it had been raining a lot.  By Oct 17, the stone path was done, Jason's crew was able to replace two of the stones that I pointed out too small in size . As planed, on the side of the path, he also did a flat seating area.
Jason and his crews created a stone fire pit with five huge stone seat, and that looks real nice. He also build a stone bridge which lead to the fire pit over the ditch with details.
The whole project finished by the end of October. It took much longer then was scheduled, due to the weather, the stone vender and his personal issues, but over all, I am happy with the work been done consider that this was not an easy project.

FAQs for building site preparation and clearing projects in Hermitage, TN

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.
