"Very respectful and friendly. Needed to have a site cleared for construction and they were able to accommodate my needs as I lived on the property at the time of clearing and grading. I was more than satisfied with the results and time it took for them to complete the job."

"The work started on 9/3/2015. They would make appointments and not show up.  They would show up for a while and then I wouldn't see them for a week. That occurred throughout the job. They would only work on my job for a couple of days at a time. I had to keep calling them to get them to come out. On 9/28, I called them at around 11 as they were supposed to be here that morning with a full crew. They ended up sending out a skeleton crew. Their foreman quit in the middle of the job. The second foreman was unavailable 90% of time I would try to reach him. The owner eventually came out. They tied the drain on my deck into the drain in my front yard. This ended up overloading the drain in my front yard. Their trucks leaked oil on my driveway. After the job was done the project manager said that he would send someone out to clean up the oil. No one has ever shown up. They're overbooked. Be prepared to have an unnecessarily drawn out project. They finished on 10/21/2015. They're due to come back in January to put more joint sand around the pavers."

Land Clearing Services questions, 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.

There are a couple of ways you can determine the depth of your well. One method is to use a device called a well sounder. This tool has a long measuring tape containing a sensor to alert you once the end reaches the water. 

Or you can DIY it by using a long tape measure with a half-filled bottle of water attached to it. Lower the tape measure into your well. Once you feel tension on the tape, you’ll know the bottle has reached your static water level. This will give you an approximate idea of your well’s depth.

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

Soil testers and licensed excavators are often the professionals you hire if you need a perc test. In some cases, structural engineers will also be able to conduct the test for you. In many municipalities, you’ll need your professional on-site to dig and fill the holes with water, as well as a representative from your local building department or health department. That representative is the individual who will determine whether your test passes or fails.

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.
