Customers say: Quick response

"I'm ashamed that it has taken me this long to get around to writing a review for Alex and his team. What prompted this is he texted me this morning asking how we were, how everything was with the addition, and if anything needed addressing - who does that a year and a half after project completion? Easy answer - a person who you should work with, if given the opportunity. We knew Alex was "the guy" after we met him and got our initial quote. Before meting him, we received numerous outrageous quotes from (very) popular local contractors. In addition to the quotes being ridiculous, these contractors were also never confident in the job, which seemed odd to us, because the scope of the project didn't seem insane. Alex comes in, says no problem, verifies that it's totally possible, and a couple weeks later we have a vetted blue print and an exceptionally reasonable quote. When we decided to pull the trigger on dormering out our attic to add two rooms and a bathroom, we had little to no idea as to what the job really entailed (roofline, heat zoning, access to the rest of our house, etc.). Alex was in constant communication with us each step of the way, and in an extremely accommodating manner, where he gracefully put up with us changing our minds on certain things. Example, my wife decided we should have lights in the closet - the sheetrock was already up, but Alex said no problem and threw lights in there. A larger example - we decided that we should also finish the space above our garage - again, no problem. If you have a job, big or small, and are able to work with Alex and his team, I cannot recommend it enough. I believe building and maintaining client relationships is the life-blood of a successful business. It is clear as day that Alex has mastered this concept. This is a team you need in your corner."

"My experience with MJS Excavation was extremely positive from receiving the quote at the start of the project all the way through to completion of the project. I had Jason build a large retaining wall on my property and he took my vision and enhanced it even more than I could have imagined - the finished wall exceeded my expectations. Before the start of the project I was having some difficulty visualizing certain aspects of the wall and Jason came over not once, but twice, to discuss with me to ensure we were on the same page and that I understood what his plans were. Then once the project started, Jason was hard working and open with communication if anything came up. He came up with ideas on how to enhance the project and priced them out so I could make an educated decision. Jason is so nice and friendly and his work speaks for itself through his craftsmanship and skill. In fact, some of my neighbors were so impressed that he ended up doing work for some of them after he completed my project! When he finished everything up, he cleaned the space and resodded the lawn that was affected. The final price ended up almost exactly on target with the estimate quote he provided at the beginning – something that I have not had a positive experience with other contractors in the past. I really cannot recommend Jason enough – he is hardworking, honest, skilled, and a pleasure to work with. If you are considering him for a project – go for it, you will not be disappointed!"

FAQs for building site preparation and clearing projects in Nassau, NY

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.
