"The team that came arrived on time and completed the work as expected for the agreed price. They were pleasant and respectful. The work was completed carefully and without disruption to the house. The work took longer to complete then anticipated but the crew remained positive and friendly. They were respectful and offered suggestions when I (homeowner) was asked how I preferred some things to be done. We are preparing to sell our house and had some punch list items left from gut renovating the kitchen and they performed a variety of tasks to make those items return the expected value on the house and get it ready to sell."

"Our driveway was filled with pot holes from recent rain storms. Ricky Cook Excavating provided an estimate and completed the job in a timely manner. Fresh gravel and grading made all the difference in the world. I would recommend and use them for future projects."

"I spoke with Virgil about a limb that was hanging over my house and I was concerned about the upcoming ice storm causing it to fall onto my home. He came out quickly, sawed off the limb, and didn't charge me anything. While he was here I had him look at some other trees and he gave me an estimate on taking these down. As soon as the weather clears and it is safe to be here, I will let him know. I would recommend him highly, he answers his text messages and phone calls promptly, and strives to do a good job for you. I'm glad I have met him."

"They arrived on time and were very efficient! Got the job done quickly and exactly what I needed. Before they did the seeding and straw, they asked if I was happy with the grading! They also said that if anything showed up that needed to be addressed, they would come back! Very friendly snd polite! I will definitely use them again!!"

FAQs for building site preparation and clearing projects in Mars Hill, NC

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.
