"Akua and Rusty are professional, capable, trustworthy and excellent at what they do. We needed a large backyard area cleared of old chicken coops, construction debris and old machinery, sheds and plant material. They arrived promptly and immediately came up with a plan to maximize their time and resources. They are smart problem solvers working with patient and positive attitudes and were able to remove 22,000 lbs of waste/trash from the property in 3 days. The invoicing was clear and the price was fair. I highly recommend Po Brothers! They exceeded all expectations. I will absolutely call them again."

"I’ve used Solid Ground Property Services for many projects over the past 12 years, including waste hauling, yard care, tree removal, gravel and concrete driveway installation, and a full new roof installation. The quality of the work has been consistently excellent. Kaipo is dependable, honest, and very fairly priced. He shows up when he says he will, communicates clearly, and stands behind his work. During a long power outage, he even brought a generator to keep my refrigerator running, which really speaks to the level of care he shows his customers. It’s rare to find a contractor you can rely on for this many different types of work over such a long period of time. I highly recommend Solid Ground Property Services."

"Tausinga Hafoka has done a number of projects for me in the past. They typically do rock and masonry work, but about 20 years ago they installed some pavers for my home as well. I always have been impressed by the quality of the service. The workers are always on time and do good work."

"Cutting Edge was a great choice in taking care of yard clean up, mowing, tree trimming, and they even helped in cementing in my flag pole. They were efficient, reliable, and hard-working. Prices were fair and worth every dollar! The projects were done quickly and with a careful eye. If you want any landscaping work done on Maui, I highly recommend Cutting Edge."

FAQs for building site preparation and clearing projects in Makawao, HI

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.
