"I needed an area cleared and leveled prior to putting in a shipping container for storage. I also had them fill in some washouts and ruts caused by all of the recent rains. It was hard to find anyone interested in doing small jobs but Bulldog came out quickly and did a great job for very reasonable price."

"Arrindells Family Farm Tree Removal is an excellent company to hire. I had a very difficult situation (a large tree with long, large branches situated in a very narrow area) that Sheldon and his team handled perfectly. This was a large oak tree that had a larger pine tree right next to it and was surrounded by fencing on both sides. Arrindell team monitored the situation and meticulously began work removing the long branches with extreme care, avoiding damaging the surrounding fences piece by piece. Sheldon and his team cleaned up afterward, removing all debris and making the area look amazing. Arrindell family farm offers honest, fair pricing. Sheldon and his team work continuously until the project is completed. This one kept them out there until 10:45 pm! I highly recommend Arrindell Family Farm for all your tree removal services. They were punctual, communicative, keeping me updated, and in the loop throughout the process. Sheldon and his team were amazing, very kind, courteous, efficient, professional, and enthusiastic. They work very hard and enjoy a challenge. Regardless of your project, check them out to see if they can help. You will not be disappointed."

Building site preparation and clearings FAQs

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.
