Here at Marshall Land Management LLC, I pride myself on my professionalism, as well as my ability to complete every job to the homeowner's total satisfaction. I never leave a job unfinished, or a homeowner not 100% satisfied with my level of service. I handle excavation work in Palm Bay and the surrounding areas - Call today!

"Marshall Land Management was awesome! Adam is very easy to work with and he truly wants to do the job to the satisfaction of the customer. I hired them to replace some sidewalks around the entrance to my house. Adam quoted a price but as often is the case the work needing to be done expanded as we began to uncover hidden issues. I also added a couple other jobs to the overall project. In the end all the work was completed to my satisfaction and the total charge with all the extra work was just a little more than the quote. The price was well worth the final results. I'm extremely happy with Adam's work and plan to use him for future projects. I can wholeheartedly recommend Marshall Land Management."

Paver installation company/ hardscape specialist. Family owned and operated with over 25 experience providing custom design services for all your hardscape projects.

"A-Plus did a great job. I know this because my neighbor used a different Company for his Driveway earlier this year. Debbie was extremely helpful, and spent a lot of time on the first phone call, and in-person guiding me through the process, and giving me expert advice on their products (sand and sealer). I was very flexible with my schedule, since I knew that delays are always possible during the rainy season here in coastal Central Florida. I recommend them for your Paver Project."

FAQs for building site preparation and clearing projects in Melbourne, FL

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.
