"This pro did a fantastic job on my project. From the eatimating to planning to the installation was a great experience. Good old fashioned customer service is the foundation of everything this pro does. I would not have gotten a better job or more timely completion from any other pro. Don't hesitate to consider this pro for a variety of services provided. I assure you it will be done with highest standards of quality, in a timely manner and at a fair price. I could not be more pleased with the wood fence job. It makes my property look great and will be safe and secure for my dog and the grandkids. Well done!!!"

"John showed up timely! He removed and hauled away a large shed in our back yard. He was very professional and left the job site way cleaner than it was found. He did an excellent job and I have since hired his company again for a dumpster."

"Obviously, they are very professional at what they do. They arrived at the agreed upon time, worked quickly and efficiently, cutting, grading and felling the trees. Tommy and his associate were friendly and courteous, asking the right questions to ensure that we were satisfied with the service. They did more than we had anticipated in such a short time. I certainly will recommend them."

Land Clearing Services FAQs, answered by experts

Prior to excavation, you should prepare the dig site and call 311 before you sign anything.

To get your site ready for excavation, you should move anything in the area that isn’t affixed to the land. You can save money on the excavation by removing hardscaping, including walkways, decks, concrete patios, and paver patios.

Before you carry out any digging, you should call 311 to confirm that there are no utility lines running through your excavation site. Skipping this step could lead to severe injury and property damage if your excavator hits a water, sewage, or gas line.

If you can’t find any records online, you’ll need to contact your county clerk’s office to do further research. They should have property records on file, or can at least point you in the right direction of who to contact. You can also speak with your neighbors about when their houses were built because they were likely built around the same time.

A few different types of land surveys can help determine certain features and boundaries of your property. These include:

  • Boundary surveys describe the actual borders of a property. These are generally required when trying to get construction permits issued. 

  • Location surveys provide much of the same information as a boundary survey but also include in-depth information about any improvements made to your property. 

  • Mortgage location surveys are usually required by lenders and title companies before financing or offering an insurance policy. 

  • Site-planning surveys are done before applying for building permits and can be issued before any major home improvements. 

  • Topographic surveys provide a formal map of land elevations. It can also describe the location and size of natural features and any land improvements.

If a buyer pays for a survey, the surveyor they hired will only provide results to them. It’s up to the buyer whether they share the survey results with the seller or not, even if they ultimately walk away from the deal. It’s considered good faith to share the results with the seller, though, especially if you back out of the deal, as the seller can then provide that survey to future interested parties.

When planning for land survey costs, you should consider the following elements as major contributors to the overall cost:

  • Size of your property in terms of acres or square feet

  • Complexity of the terrain in terms of hills, elevation changes, rocks, water, and other features

  • Type of survey you need (boundary survey, topographic survey, or a combination of survey types)

  • Distance traveled for the professional surveyor
