Welcome to MBK Motorsports, LLC, where our passion for dirt supply began with a dream and a dump truck named Barney! After years of offshore work and missing family events, my husband decided it was time to be his own boss. In 2015, with no prior experience driving a dump truck, he took a leap of faith, purchasing Barney before even getting his CDL. Fast forward over a decade later, and Barney is not just a truck; he's a beloved member of our family, helping us serve our community with quality dirt supply.

"Yes they did a very good job and was very satisfied with the work that was done."

FAQs for building site preparation and clearing projects in Lafayette, LA

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.
