"Revised Review: After thinking about my previous response and how upset I was with the outcome, I would like to revise my experience with Michael. It really comes down to Michael misunderstanding our site plans and landscape plans. I assumed after multiple meetings with him that it was a clear plan. My husband and I were not kept in the loop about what it would cost to fix the mistakes made by Michael and his team due to not following the plans. - We found our house pad was put in the wrong spot and pointing in the wrong direction. - The berm created was so much bigger than what we planned that it restricted our house to barely fit the setback requirements on the north side of the property. It also prevented us from having road access around the house to the back of the property. This was corrected by turning our home just enough for our cars to drive around the side, but at a cost. - Our driveway became longer than planned creating more cost to us for utilities and trenching. - We are now left with a dirt yard and a large dirt mound that well need to hang out with for sometime, till we have enough money to fix it. At the end of the day we just feel taken advantage of. Very sad but I learned my lesson to not assume anything."

"Update. Nothing done!!! Have to pay to have redone. This company did our concrete so we hired them to do house leveling. Our house was worse after the repair. They came out to fix their work and made it worse. This was a project they did not know how to do. When we called them they referred us to their lawyer. We are out money and have to pay more for the damage they did."

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.
