we do land clearing grading trenching bush hogging clean up around ponds and buildings tree removal stump removal/grinding scrape drive ways plow gardens and food plots general tractor work

"SCAMMED ME.....I would not recommend this man to conduct ANY type of business for anyone. He is a very bad liar. He misrepresented himself, not professional at all. Didn’t have the equipment to preform the job, paid him half his price up front. From that moment on it was lie after lie, excuse after excuse why he couldn’t do the job, family members sick, equipment broke, too hot, worker sick, he would show up in the middle of the night to try to do lot clearing. He continued to ask to borrow money from me. Saying he needed gas and other things. He never completed the work that I paid him for. And refused to return the money that I LOANED to him. I had to hire some else. I’m out of a lot of money. He took advantage. Very disappointing experience. Don’t Trust Carolina Tractor Worx"

FAQs for building site preparation and clearing projects in Rockingham, NC

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.
