"He has been super! Wesley did some yard grading work for me. He is the single best grader I have worked with. He saved my project from some below average graders that had started the work before him. He is to dirt as Picasso is to paint. He is dependable and a pleasure to work with!"

"The retaining wall looks great and all my neighbors agree. We were not home during the 4 day project but were kept abreast of the installation. Our neighbors said it looked like a bomb went off with the tearing out of old wall, the materials, the equipment etc but after 4 days you'd never know they were even there except we had a beautiful new wall. They went above and beyond ensuring the surrounding area looked fantastic. Would highly recommend them for their quality work."

"I hired SCC Asphalt to install a new driveway over gravel (Work completed 2/6/19). This was a rather large job with a 100 foot hill leading up to a big circle drive at the top of the driveway. I must say that the professionalism and quality of the work was outstanding. Clint followed through with every aspect of the job with no sidetracks or excuses. What's equally important is Clint's crew. Those guys are top notch. They don't have mere weeks, or months of experience. Many of them have decades in the industry, and talking to them really solidified that importance. I was on the job site the whole time, asking never ending questions, and not once did I feel like I was being a burden, and I always got a great explanation I was very nervous before the job because I did not know what to expect, even though SCC had great reviews on home advisor. However, after watching them work, and seeing my beautiful driveway completed, I had zero doubt that I made the correct choice. Now, I have to be honest and say that, since this is my first experience with Clint, we will see about the service I get if there are any follow-up issues, or when the time comes to seal the driveway. However, I am completely confident that Clint will stand behind his work and ensure that my satisfaction is his highest priority. I realize that being a residential customer, I am not even close to being one of his biggest customers, but I truly felt like I was his only client. To say that I would recommend SSC Asphalt would be a major understatement. Seldom do contractors like Clint come around. He made a name for himself the right way; working hard, honoring his word and staying true what he believes. I have no doubt that Clint, and his business, will continue to be extremely successful in the years to come. I can't wait to see my driveway after he comes back to seal it. As good as it looks now, It's hard to imagine it getting any better. Regards, Mike"

"I had no dryer vent. I just had a hole in the wall. No. He wasn't fixing it. He came out to clean the dryer vent, and there was no dryer vent. I found out I got a structural problem. I got to fix. I thanked him, and he went his separate ways. The guy was suppose to refer me to an handyman, but he never did. They didn't really do any work. "

FAQs for building site preparation and clearing projects in Rabun Gap, GA

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.
