Bob has been in business for 50 years. Started working on his own property and was disappointed in the quality of other people's work so he decided to go leave a career in electronics sales and into business himself.Became a career in building and developing.Built subdivisions.Built roads and all site work for new homes.

"Amazing work from start off consulting through the end of the project. Very well rounded crew and amazing customer service. They kept me informed of the project every step of the way including when they were finding some damaged pipes under ground that we were not aware of. It reminded me of the type of contractors from home where I grew up in the South that were not out for the money but instead were in the business because they like the work and they love helping people accomplish their dream landscapes."

Building site preparation and clearings FAQs

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.
