"I hired them for two jobs. They were prompt and professional. The first job for land clearing and debris removal went fine so I hired them for a second smaller job of the same type. The second job like the first was for land clearing and removal of the debris. The main reason for the clearing was so I could have driveable access to a new garage. Miles knew this and sent a quote to me for $1,500. I thought it was a bit high but agreed to it anyway since his equipment was on site.The total area to be cleared was 97' by about 10'. He cleared 58', and left 39' untouched. This equates to $15.46 per foot. He basically owes me $602.94 or just finish the job as I requested him to do. Miles loaded up his equipment. He said there were power lines below somewhere and needed the are marked then he would return and finish the job. I got the power lines marked contacted Miles. He said his work there was complete. I would not hire this company agine they are not trust worthy.."

FAQs for building site preparation and clearing projects in Melrose, 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.
