"He was available by phone, and was flexible in scheduling meetings which is great. He was professional, and seemed quite knowledgable. In the end, I didn't use Nato's services because his quote was twice as much as the other contractor I was considering. Perhaps his prices may be more competitive in other services he offers. Either way, working with this company was a pleasant experience."

"Paul and his crew were wonderful to work with on our curvy uphill asphalt driveway. They tore out the old one and put down a new driveway. They worked out a way to control drainage issues when it rained and were willing to accommodate any of my requests with a great attitude and a willingness to do the best possible job. I recommend them highly!"

"I was sitting on the HomeAdvisor, I just hit the send key to register my project request. Elena, from Sure-Plus called me. She promptly came to my house, gave me a straight up bid. I got several bids, Sure-Plus was by far the lowest. Elena and her team did outstanding work, also at a fraction of the time other estimates gave. I will hire them for more services."

"Very happy with the service provided. Was done at a good price and he showed up when he said he would and did quick work of it. It’s so difficult to get ride of thing in the valley and Elite makes it easy. I used them a second time to dig up the backyard and remove all the dirt. I will be calling them again next time I have items to get rid of. Thanks Elite Hauling."

Land Clearing Services questions, answered by experts

Professional well contractors may use electromagnetic mapping to look for places with a high likelihood of water. Water access can vary significantly, even on the same property, so it can be difficult to know where to drill if you don’t have specialized tools to look for water.

Land surveys don’t technically expire. They do serve as a point of reference and a snapshot of your property, though, so as soon as you make changes to your property (and even if your neighbor makes certain changes to theirs), your existing land survey becomes inaccurate, and a new one must be done. Even if you don’t make any changes to your property, many states only guarantee the accuracy of a land survey for five to ten years.

Depending on the type of land survey, the report will mark the boundaries of your property, the topographical changes of the landscape, as well as major natural and added structures to the plot. A more detailed survey, like an as-built survey, will note the measurements of the structures and landscape following major construction. A topographic survey will also help your contractor determine the cost of land development projects.

Permit requirements to clear land vary by municipality, so whether or not you need permits depends on where you live and what you’re removing from the land. Some building departments will require permits for any underground work or excavation, meaning grinding down tree stumps on your property would require permits. Others mandate individual permits for each tree you remove. You can contact your local building department or a land-clearing specialist near you to see if permits are necessary for your job.

This is fairly rare, but sometimes the local government or a group like a historical society will label a tree as a landmark, or historical item. These designations almost always come with a small, on-site plaque for identification, but you should also be able to look up protected trees in your area on a city website or similar list. If the tree in question is a landmark, call your local government and ask how to proceed before making any plans.
