"Gregory Excavation did a fantastic job excavating the sod from my front yard; the experience was positive and professional from start to finish. Chase took great care to make sure the job was completed carefully, thoroughly, and on time, and when he finished he meticulously cleaned and swept the whole area before he left. I recommend Gregory Excavation without reservation and will know who to call the next time I need more work of this kind done"

"Jeffrey was amazing. When we scoped the project, it looked like we would need to dig down to the basement footing to find the leak. After some hand-digging, found the problem just a few feet down. He patched it nicely. And, re-landscaped the entire area. It looks amazing. Great crew. I highly recommend them"

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.
