"PART 1 Michael and his dad Tony came out to the job site and looked over the plans. I also sent them a copy of the plans. We needed footers and a stem wall for an addition. Michael then gave me a bid in writing, which included the concrete. I accepted the bid. There was delay after delay because he did not have a trailer to bring his trenches. Finally after almost 2 weeks, he borrowed a trailer and brought the trenches. He did the wrenching and rebar for the footers and then turned to me and told me I needed to order and pay for the concrete. I said, no, the concrete was his responsibility and showed him his signed bid. He seemed confused and said, that was a mistake, but he would do it anyway. Footers were poured and then he could not come up with the wood for framing the stem wall, so another week and a half delay. Then the day before pouring the stem wall he comes and tells me he won't pour it unless I pay for the concrete. He wanted $1,400.00. I did not know what to do. 3/23/2026 PART 2. I would pay half, but later I realized that was extortion and I was not willing to pay for the concrete. He ended up pouring the stem wall, and I gave him an additional $500.00 out of the kindness of my heart. THEN, when the carpenters came to start framing, the stem wall was 2 out of square, and 2 1/4 too high, so the finished floor on the addition would be 2 1/4 ; above the existing finished floor. Also, one of the piers was 1/2 too high. We asked Michael to come and discuss this. Meanwhile, I reached out to my architect and inspector and the solution was to change the size and spread of the floor joists to accommodate the mistake. This remedy would cost me an additional $500.00. Exactly what I paid him to help bail him out for his original mistake. Now, asking him to reimburse me for the additional $500.00 for this final mistake, he has refused. I would not be writing this review if he had been willing to do the right thing. I liked Michael and his dad, and they seem "

FAQs for building site preparation and clearing projects in Prescott, AZ

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.
