"Jonathan provides excellent communication prior to & during the project. He coordinates with other professionals as needed to complete his projects such as landscaping, as was needed in our case. A shout out to Tony Angeli & his crew for their landscaping layout & skills. In our case, Jonathan not only had to tear out a significant amount of old shrubbery & dispose of it, but did minor regrading, provided a French drain with tie-ins to our downspouts, & provided a finished landscape project with a very impressive finished project. Another shout out to his dad, John, who worked side by side with Jonathan on our project. This crew is very impressive, hard-working, and determined to satisfy every need of their customer. I cannot recommend them more highly. Thank you to all involved in our project!"

FAQs for building site preparation and clearing projects in Pocono-manor, PA

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.
