"Taylor was good to work with until there was a problem. I actually hired him twice (my mistake) When I brought forward an issue I discovered he was very angry and started insulting me viciously. He went as far as threatening to come to my home and destroy the work his company performed. I am a senior citizen he is a young man. I felt threatened by his behavior and would not recommend using his services."

"I had Jared remove a shed that had flood damage from my backyard. The area was tight and difficult to work in, but him and his crew got the job done on time without any damage to my fence or house. Awesome communication,very professional and great pricing. I'd 100% use them again and recommend him and his crew to anyone. "

"I would definitely recommend Defeat Contracting to anyone looking for a fast fair construction project. I had them close in my carport and I could not be happier. The results are just what I had envisioned, and it was done in about three and a half days. We had to rethink some of the project and Remington took the changes to heart and we ended up with a beautiful outcome. Their work ethic was impressive, working hard each day and then leaving the site in great shape. Thank You Rem"

"Brandon and Ryan did an awesome job on my landscaping project. They listened to my thoughts for the project, gave me suggestions then made it become a reality. They were very reasonable and great to work with. They also installed my cyclone fencing. I will definitely hire them again when I need anything done."

"I put in a request for septic tank pumping and the first contact (from other company) was crazy high. A Affordable Septic gave a quote that was extremely reasonable and they surely live up to the name. Marty came out this morning; on time or even a bit early. He was extremely kind and helpful. I would definitely recommend this company for anyone needing septic service. I pray God's Blessings on this company and its employees. John 3:16"

FAQs for building site preparation and clearing projects in Vancouver, WA

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.
