"Mike defrauded me by agreeing to, specifically, prune bushes and shrubs, fertilize the plants and shrubs and I nstall a handrail at front porch steps. I wound up with a worker who was out of his element in that he had not a firm grasp of what he was doing. He successfully trimmed appropriate plants with assistance, but severely damaged one shrub which I am hoping will recover over time. His representativ failed to fertilize the plants and left the site after no attempt to clean up the mess he left. I have been requesting Mike constantly, to return and finish the job I paid for in advance. Mike has continued to blow me off without completing the agreed upon work, and in my opinion owes me a refund. He has not come forward with a refund or completion of the work. I plan to file a claim in small claims court and visit the WA State Department of licensing to formally file a complaint against his license. In addition, I shall pursuit the possibility of filing charges against this Co. forfraud in Thurston County and with the WA Attorney General. Any potential customer hiring this charlatan risks financial damage!"

"Update. Nothing done!!! Have to pay to have redone. This company did our concrete so we hired them to do house leveling. Our house was worse after the repair. They came out to fix their work and made it worse. This was a project they did not know how to do. When we called them they referred us to their lawyer. We are out money and have to pay more for the damage they did."

"Extremely well done. Project had flooding issues. The crew dug a drain well, regraded the yard and input a French drain system efficiently, effectively and were really easy to work with. Jimmy was clear, communicative and quick. I will definitely rely on this company again when necessary. Fantastic experience!"

FAQs for building site preparation and clearing projects in Olympia, WA

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.
