"Miserable. 6 schedule changes (2 no shows) reduced price $500 (ok a positive)? Then ? sprayed 8-10? perimeter of the floor that was supposed to be covered. Didnt clean. Oversprayed 8? thick in places but was aware interior was being finished and needed to be kept inside beams. Leaked out around perimeter of building on new white and grey steel siding (doesn?t come off and we?ve bought five different products to-date). Then? worse? backed blown tire (drove on 4 blocks) down 120 ft brand new concrete driveway. Black rubber and torn out chips of a new concrete driveway. We held back $500 waiting for return to clean and never sent product or showed to clean black rubber off. Since then found the white scrapes down the street to the drive way and backing in chips of the driveway on ring camera and as lead installed advised where tire blew at?. Owner not fixing ; rude and brags about his 4 companies owned and $10m in sales. BEWARE. Do not use them. "

FAQs for building site preparation and clearing projects in Salt Lick, KY

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.
