Zietlow Excavating is a new young, ambitious company looking to make its mark on the excavating world. No job is too small for us to take on. Expect for there to be quick, timely, and quality work performed no matter the job.

"Awesome job. We had hired another company for our lot clearing and it was a huge disaster. Contacted Zietlow through Angi and got an immediate callback. He met me out at our lot to go over exactly what was needed and even made recommendations on which trees could stay. The job was completed beyond our expectation as not only was the lot cleared promptly, the cleared land was left in great shape. And all for a very fair price. Can’t recommend more highly."

"It can be difficult  to find any contractor, involving a  homeowner service of any technical nature or  aesthetic importance that truly is impressive.   Well, we found one.   His firm is all any homeowner could hope for …  and more.   He’s incredibly reliable, when so many vendors are not.   He explains things clearly and stands by his promises.   He’s courteous to a fault. More than courteous, he’s genuinely friendly and outgoing…, in every respect a pleasure to deal with.   Important in terms of why we hired Shear Concrete, Trent has a conspicuous pride in his customer service and quality of workmanship. It’s far beyond what any homeowner reasonably could expect … and it’s at absolute the highest level.   Equally impressive, Trent‘s  service is provided at a fair price and precisely what the consumer was promised.   The workmanship was spectacular.

"Adam and his team were wonderful. Our project was to get our kitchen cabinets and drawers sanded and repainted, but also to have new hidden interior door hinges installed. Due to the nature/age of our cabinets, getting the hidden hinges installed involved a bit of creativity, but Adam found the solution and everything looks great.

FAQs for building site preparation and clearing projects in Janesville, WI

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.
