We invite you to experience a tradition of customer satisfaction that will exceed your greatest expectations. Our professionalism and quality workmanship will accurately reflect your taste and lifestyle. From conception to completion, we work with you until the job is done. We are ethical, honest, and easy to communicate with. Call us today you'll be pleased you did. Thank you

"Ian does a top contractor who is also reasonably priced. Other contractors did not offer me the customized solutions for some unique layout issues. He had clear opinions, but he actively seeks understanding what the client wants. He was always prompt, reliable, and efficient. One time, I decided to make a last minute change in the synthetic deck color. He twisted arms to get the order changed , and I saw from the Timber Tech website that the new color was more expensive. When I offered to pay the difference, he said no because the guys he used to set the foundation were faster than he had budgeted in the quote! I have done many projects, and have never gotten that response. Ian Grant, the owner, is equally competent, honest, and ethical. On top of all this, he was the lowest bidder. He will be my go to person for future construction projects. He is such a pleasure to work with I am recommending him to friends and don't think I will bother to get competitive bids. He absolutely deserves Home Advisor's top certification."

FAQs for building site preparation and clearing projects in Puyallup, WA

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.
