"Had the opportunity to experience Lilco's work on several projects. These guys always had a professional attitude and took the time for all preparations and quality control. They did not leave a mess or unwarranted damages like so many fly-by-night contractors tend to do. They even magnet swept driveways for screws/nails whenever they finished loading out for the night. The owner is always up front about any costs, with no hidden charges to get the jobs done."

"Craig provided detailed plans and went over each item prior to start. Crews showed up by 7:50am every morning and worked til 5pm everyday. Each day Craig was on site to view and go over Plans with the crew and any issues. Work was completed on time and everything went smoothly from start to finish. Highly recommend"

"My husband and I were very impressed with the work done by Roy Targia and his team. He responded quickly to my request for a quote, came to the house to formally estimate the work and offer some design advice less than a week later, we received the pavers a couple of days later and the work was done right after that. He showed up when he said he would, it took only 2 days (estimate was 2-3 days) to install a 12'x15' paver patio and to remove our old concrete path and install pavers even though the work had to be manually done since our alley didn't allow sufficient room to bring in machinery. His recommended design is lovely and the foreman, Joe, even helped resolve an issue near the driveway that was unexpected. The crew was courteous and cleaned up the site before leaving. It was not inexpensive, however, we feel that we got our money's worth and will be sure to contact Roy when we need to have additional work done."

"Double Tree is Awesome. Eddy  is amazing in the
tree. He took down a very large pine tree that was breaking my driveway
and ground the stump. His crew cleaned my entire front yard of sticks,
leaves and pine needles. They even cleaned the driveway, walkway and
front porch. My yard looks beautiful now. They are friendly, knowledgable, professional
 and caring as if the trees were their own.I recommend them to everyone,
my family, friends, neighbors and co-workers. Very professional. I will
hire them again for future trees.

FAQs for building site preparation and clearing projects in West Milford, NJ

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.
