Welcome to Double Down Construction Inc! We take pride in the quality of work and customer satisfaction that we give each customer! With over 30 years experience, we are known to pay exquisite attention to detail while making customer satisfaction our top priority. Call us today to learn more about how we can help you!

"We received a total of 5 quotes for our remodel. Double Down Construction gave us a competitive price. The reason we chose Double Down was the detail of his inspection of the rooms he would be working on before submitting his quote. All other bidders quoted the job would take 3 to 4 weeks or 15 to 20 working days. Double Down completed the job in 7 working days. The 8th day the workers cleaned the floor, wiped the dust off surfaces and moved the furniture back in place. Also on the same day they hired a cleaning crew to do the detail work. The work crew was polite, friendly and neat. They were a pleasure to have around. We would recommend Double Down to anyone. We've never had such a good experience. We want to thank them for all they did, and in fact we will be scheduling more work in the near future."

We are an excavating company with over 30 years experience. What kind of work do we do? Anything and everything dirt work related. The most common projects would be house pads, site prep, utilities, and road grading. However, we don't just stop there. We do demolition, water distribution, sewer installs, dump truck services and much more. When you call Canyon Edge Excavating LLC you get the owner bidding your project, and more than likely running the tractor. There are no huge overhead inflations with us. Give us a call!

"very happy with how we were treated in regards to the job needed. the work was done timely and efficiently. would definitely recommend to others and will use again if we ever need more work done."

Family owned Dirt moving, specialty is laser leveling. House pads. Roads built and maintained. Can also do junk and trash removal. Tree removal and tree trimming. Size of tree doesn’t matter.

"Fantastic! Right from the start Mr Perry laid out steps he would be taking, in getting a level, structured pasture. He would always call ahead to check if access to the property. My soil was like concrete. He would work the soil repeadily over a few months. When he decided the soil was ready, he waited for the best planting time(no frosts). He leveled the pasture with precion. Then planted the seed. I just irrigated the pasture today. The water flowed on a perfect flat flow! The work he accomplished was perfect. He is honest, straight forward, and highly knowledgeable."

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.
