"I canâ t express how grateful I am for having worked with Yeet Excavating. I had issues with water leaking into my basement and decided to give them a call. FINALLY a company that even answers their calls! Right from the start they were very kind, professional and informative. They gave me the rundown of why my basement was leaking, explained the process, told me when they could come out, how long the process would take and guess what? They didnâ t miss a beat! They came out and installed drainage around my foundation, backfilled the dirt and finished the grade. They were able to get it done efficiently and quickly as promised. I love how prompt and accurate they were along with their professionalism and customer service (hard to find these days!) I want to thank them for everything and I figured writing a review is the least I can do. I will continue to use them for any future issues and recommend them to anyone and everyone. Thank you Yeet and keep up the good work!"

FAQs for building site preparation and clearing projects in Lancaster, OH

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.
