Aloha, here at Po Brothers LLC, we take pride in our quality work at a fair price. We specialize in land clearing, building site prep, landscape retaining walls, trenching, swimming pool and septic digs, driveways, concrete prep and forming work, area/gutter drains and we service the entire island of Maui. Give us a call now at 808-281-5102 or 401-742-0573. Mahalo, Akua and Rusty

"My back yard, on a 45 degree angled slope, was overgrown with brush at least twenty years old. Some branches were reaching over onto the second story of my house. The whole thing posed a fire hazard. Akua and Rusty cleared a “forest” worth of brush with hand-held tools. The clearance on either side of my house was not enough to allow large equipment. These two men worked hard and efficiently. They were on time and professional. Communication was excellent and the price was fair. All of this wood had to also be chipped and hauled away. When done, they left the project site clean as if they weren’t even there. I could not be more pleased with their service and I highly recommend this company."

FAQs for building site preparation and clearing projects in Wailuku, HI

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.
