"***SCAM ALERT*** DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY We recently discovered that Jacob (owner/operator of Precision Grading and Hardscapes) knowingly installed a cheaper product than we paid for without our knowledge. When we caught him in the deceit (after the work was complete and paid for), he admitted wrongdoing and acknowledged that he would refund us the money to make it right. He originally told us that he would ONLY refund the money that he STOLE from us if we signed a non-disclosure agreement and took down existing negative reviews of his work on Google. We pushed back, because its neither fair nor right to ask for our silence. He finally agreed to forego the non-disclosure and refund us anyway, but weeks later he has not refunded us the money and has stopped responding to texts and phone calls. He also did this to our neighbor. We are now filing with small claims court and have contacted the police. I have posted a more complete review on the full scope of his work on google reviews."

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.
