"We used Thorpe Site Solutions for a big land clearing project and I was blown away by the results. Harry handled everything with his Bobcat like a pro — he cleared brush, leveled the ground, and even hauled away all the debris with their dump trailer. Fast, clean, and efficient. If you need land cleared, this is the team to call!!"

"This is the best business we have ever worked with! Sean was responsive, professional and incredibly helpful every step of the way. He is very knowledgeable of what needs to be done, and educates you throughout the process. Our job (the installation of an EPA septic system) was completed quickly, efficiently, and without incident. We had to contact numerous companies to work toward getting this job done. Many didn't even return calls. Many were unresponsive once they had been out. Two acted as though we were at their whim and totally unimportant. P&G appreciates, respects and works to do all they can to HELP their customers. We are so pleased with their business acumen! Hiring P&G for your job will be the best move you could make! Amazing work, fair pricing, and the most pleasant to work with!"

"Highly recommend Dynamic Construction. Very professional, and responsive to concern/questions. Made a conscious effort not to tear up my yard hauling concrete from the road to behind my house via bobcat. I really appreciate that. I wasn't home when they finished it, but Dynamic sent me pictures. It surpassed the image in my head as to how I hoped it would turn out. Many compliments from family, friends and neighbors."

"I hired Drew to paint and replace the trim in my living room. He responded quickly to my request for a quote and was very friendly and professional. Unfortunately, the quality of the work did not meet my expectations. After he painted there were several areas where it had not been sanded down enough so the patching showed through the paint. In addition, when he sanded he did not cover anything so there was dust all over my living room, kitchen and dining room. He did vacuum but it did not get up everything and so I had to mop several times and had to wipe down furniture, counters and appliances. Lastly, I had to pay extra to have someone come and haul away all of the old trim. I assumed it would be part of the job. In fairness, it was not in the quote but I felt like that should have been made clear. Drew is a really nice guy, seems like he is just starting out because he did not have all of the tools he needed. Again, a really nice guy, he worked hard, it just was not the result I was expecting. And now I am paying someone else to do the job over again."

"Great skill and communication! Evan and crew did an outstanding job of communicating needs and ideas for feathering in final grade. They even took time to identify potential watershed problems and provided feedback on solutions. Great value for skill and experience. I highly recommend MX for your excavation needs. The finish grade of our residence turned out better than I had anticipated."

FAQs for building site preparation and clearing projects in Urbana, OH

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.
