"Smithcraft was easy to schedule and work with, completing their scope within the quoted time and budget. Jared (of Smithcraft) visited the site with me, took notes of my specifications, listened, and also made intelligent recommendations. The project went very smoothly and required no supervision from myself the land/homeowner. The end result met expectations and one can tell Jared took care and attention to detail as if I had done the work myself. I will be hiring Smithcraft for more work in the future, thanks Smithcraft!

Central Mass Tree Inc. is your tree removal, land clearing, timber harvesting, and firewood company in our second decade of service to the Central Massachusetts, Western Massachusetts, Eastern Massachusetts area and beyond. We regularly service customers in area communities within this region, but are always looking for new customers from your community. We respond quickly to areas affected by unusual storm activity. Also serving Chelmsford-Haverhill, Concord, Concord-Maynard, Fitchburg-Leominster, Manchester-Nashua, & Metro West Counties.

"I had my first dealing with Central Mass tree a few days ago when I purchased four chords of "seasoned" firewood. The wood is far from seasoned in fact it might as well have been cut last week. 45% moisture content, not even suitable for this season. When I call the office and spoke to Christine she said she'd look into it. Of course there was no reply so I called back eventually ending up with Randy, the owner. This is one effed up guy. I don't know if he's on drugs or drinking but he couldn't even field a basic question without resorting to screaming and threatening me. He claims 45% moisture content constitutes seasoned wood which of course is nonsense. Pay attention to the online reviews for this place and steer well clear. There's something majorly wrong with him and the way he conducts business."

FAQs for building site preparation and clearing projects in North Adams, MA

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.
