"NorthCrerk Construction-Dave-did a fabulous job on a fence i needed to deal w a problem neighbor and an easement. Dave went to the city unsolicited to get all the info he could on the easement prior to starting to avoid potential future problems. The fence is sturdy and strong and the gate is amazing. Dave also went above and beyond to fix the shoddy work from my last contrractor who put up a fence but only cemented every other post which I hadnt previously noticed. Due to current weather, North creek is still coming back to do the staining. I recommend Dave and NorthCreek construction 100%"

FAQs for building site preparation and clearing projects in Portland, OR
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.
