"Disappointed and Giving up. Contracted with Eland to put a pond in our backyard in 2021. After the pond got done, there were issues with the dam sloughing off. They came back a couple times to fix the issue. Then the pond was seeping out. Came back a couple times to fix that issue. At one point, one of the operators said, I remember hitting a sand vain in that area. Why wasnâ t it fixed properly at that point? Well, the dam is still sloughing off and thereâ s still a small seep. Every time they came to do repairs, they have left the area in worse shape. The dam was built too steep and they left tree roots and logs in the dam. This will become a problem in a few years. The area around the pond has root wads left laying around. This is why Iâ m disappointed and have given up on Spittler Excavation to repair my pond. This is not a farm pond, itâ s literally my backyard."

General hours of operation are 7:30 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. Afterhours service is available.

"Our basement drains were backing up when we ran the washing machine, and Mid-state came out to clean our drains. They initially forgot about our appointment, but came soon after we called to remind them. They were here about an hour and cleared a large clump of roots from our pipes, resolving the issue. The cost was $175, which I thought was reasonable."

FAQs for building site preparation and clearing projects in Ogden, IL

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.
