"Anthony was very professional and clear on what was going to take place. Anthony and his crew arrived on schedule and completed the replacement of the broken sewer main in one day. No mess was left, grounds were smoothed out and ready for new lawn! Anthony's wife is very nice to talk to and takes care of any communication needed. My husband and I would highly recommend this company."

"Matt and John did a wonderful job. We needed our lawn leveled and seeded, a old tree trunk removed, and a curved sidewalk poured. In fact, they were also working on a friend's sidewalk job just down the road from us. They scheduled both our sidewalk pour and our friend's just so the cost of the overall concrete was kept at a reasonable price. They took their time and didn't rush. I did my due-diligence and obtained multiple quotes for the job. (I actually had one contractor imply the job might be too small for him.) Matt handles large jobs! But he will also take the small ones. I do not feel you'll go wrong with South Shore Excavation!"

"This was the best landscape design experience I could have ever imagined. They were prompt, professional, and committed. Provided a creative draft of the project, took time to consider my thoughts and ideas, they were very knowledgeable of the plants and trees in the area and what would be the best for my project and property. They had professional assistance to preform the work. The materials they used were quality and the finish project came out just like I expected. Actually even better."

FAQs for building site preparation and clearing projects in Providence, RI

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.
