"This is the second project we’ve done with Tillerman Gardens and again, they’ve exceeded my expectations. I had my flagstone patio extended and a walkway added to my back entryway. Jesse had some creative ideas to incorporate the walkway - he came up with a gorgeous design that I would never have envisioned or had the insight to drum up myself. The execution was seamless - his team was prompt and efficient everyday, and the end result is absolutely beautiful. Now I want more things done. This type of quality work completely transformed my space. Worth every penny."

"The job was finished quickly and the construction debris was cleaned up. The basement was cleaner than when he showed up. The next time we had a major rain I got some water in the basement again. Steve came back as soon as it was convenient for me. No problems since then. His guarantee was real, there was no charge for rhe come-back.
I will be calling to have Steve come back to expand the drainage system when I have other work done that exposes another section of the basement.

"Willard provided excellent prompt service. They took care of all aspects if my oil tank replacement including transferring oil to the new tank, county permits and inspection reports needed to put the new tank into service. Premium quality materials and workmanship should give me years of trouble free service."

"Everything went well. We had a miscommunication on the time-frame for the appraisal, but as soon as he got here he was pleasant, measured the work area, addressed my questions and gave me a quote on the spot. This was one of three well-rated companies that I contacted - one only emailed me back once and the other came in at about $800 higher. Note that this work did not include removing old materials that had to be pulled up(old railroad ties and paver stones) but that was not a concern for me. They were able to complete the work within less than a week of my signing the contract, came early on a Monday morning and managed to finish in one day. The team consisted of the owner, his son and a worker, so I felt confident that the work was being done as promised. The patio looks great - basic and what I requested.  They even moved fill dirt and some pavers to cover our drainage pipe to look neater. They let me know that the neighbor's gutter was directing water right into our yard and made attempts to compensate for it. I look forward to enjoying it this summer and would recommend them.

"It went extremely well! They were punctual, hardworking and professional. It was necessary to dig up my neighbor's landscaping, so they were very careful to disturb only what was necessary and to restore everything to its original condition. They even replaced her broken underground downspout extension (which was draining into my basement!) without comment or additional charge. When my neighbor accused them of causing a problem, MJ was quick to respond and the team on-site made a point of apologizing to her in person. I don't think MJ caused the problem, so I was very impressed that they "went high" to investigate the matter and, as I said, apologize for the inconvenience she felt she suffered. The work they did inside to remove mold and seal the wall was thorough and neat. The gentleman doing the work cleaned up everything and took all of his equipment and trash with him. his is especially important since he was working with strong chemicals. My contact in the office was prompt to address anything I threw her way. It was easy to make payments online. Best of all - no sign of water in the basement since they were here!!"

"Hired to redo wood floors, install tile floor and paint the house because they were a good price and said they could get the job done in the specified time frame. Fantastic job on both flooring jobs! Both the wood floor and and tile look amazing. Huge disappointment on the painting. There are obvious areas where the paint was dripping, sloppily applied and where it was taped. It has now been 7 months since the painting was completed and the paint is chipping. It is clear they did not properly prep the walls and ceiling. For example, there had been a leak in the roof before we bought the house and we asked them to fix and paint the ceiling after the new roof was installed. Where the leak was has already cracked!! It is clear they simply painted over the damaged area and did nothing to remedy the crack."

"My husband and I recently had Innovative Remodelers build a screened back porch. I can’t tell you how thrilled we are with the outcome. A huge shout out to the owners, Gary and Jenny. They are a family owned business who take great pride in their work. From the start of our design process through construction and follow-up, they demonstrated professionalism, expertise, customer service and a true passion for their business. Their attention to detail in building exactly what we had in mind was unmatched. At every meeting we were pleasantly surprised by their understanding of what we were trying to accomplish. Their team of employees were great to work with. Their craftsmanship was evident from day one. A mere thank you doesn’t seem enough for this company and all of their employees. We are happy to have found a reputable, respectable, trustworthy company to partner with again in the future. In fact, they have become more than construction partners; they have become trusted friends who have your best interest at heart. We highly recommend Innovative Remodelers to anyone who has a home project to be done."

"I hired Ace to clean up the last two autumn's worth of leaves from my yard. The crew of three worked for four hours and cleared the worst of the build-up. They came with all the equipment needed for the job worked diligently for the entire time, and left my yard a lot clearer.

"Working with Kelly was great. When he came to inspect my old heat pump and provide an estimate for replacement, he clearly explained everything and was upfront about what work really needed to be done, and what additional enhancements would improve the system. When doing the work, he and his crew were prompt, professional, and clean. Kelly was also a great communicator - accessible and quick to respond if he missed a call."

FAQs for building site preparation and clearing projects in Riverdale Park, MD

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.
