"Humberto dug out bamboo roots, removed all of the existing dirt 12" down, and replaced it with fresh dirt to 3" below grade so that we could finish our project without worrying that the bamboo would come back. He did EXCELLENT work, cleaned up, was efficient, and just an overall pleasure to do business with. Cannot recommend enough!"

"I am incredibly pleased with this company. The entire crew were 100% professional. The owner of the company took time to answer my homeowner questions as they came up. He was very patient and thorough. All the men on the job worked incredibly hard and stayed on task throughout the project. They installed the French drain, installed a washout and removed an old deck all in a weekend. I would most certainly recommend them."

"I contacted Rose Valley Earthworks and Paving to give me an estimate on cleaning up a 1.3 acres of land belonging to my elderly cousin who lives in Santa Rosa and doesn’t drive. I happen to live in TX, so I figured this might be a challenge to find someone to help me. I was right until I luckily got in touch with Brad Riddle of Rose Valley Earth Works! Even though he knew I didn’t have the final say in hiring his company, he went out and walked the dilapidated property and took several pictures. He even called me in TX while he was taking pictures to keep me informed! He said he would have an estimate for the work to be done sent shortly so I could show my cousin’s daughter. His estimate, compared to estimates over the phone, were very reasonable. I’ll be disappointed if my relatives don’t hire him, because meeting him and discussing business over the phone was great! Brad was professional and very kind and understanding."

Land Clearing Services questions, answered by experts

You can’t build on undeveloped land without preparing it for construction, which involves running utilities to the site or accounting for private utilities like wells and septic systems and grading and compacting the soil for safe construction. Once you prepare the land, you can build on it as long as the project abides by local zoning regulations.

A boundary survey measures the boundary lines of the property, only the length of each property line and their locations. A land survey includes a more in-depth measurement of the property, including the heights and depths of the terrain measured by a topographic survey. A boundary survey is typically the most cost-effective method for marking and measuring property lines.

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 you’re planning to dig on your property, you’ll need to check for underground utility lines. Call the national call-before-you-dig 811 number. Once connected to an operator, you can schedule a site visit to mark underground lines. This way, you won’t accidentally dig into pipes and can cause major (read: costly) issues.

You should always calculate real estate development costs on a case-by-case basis, so there’s no specific formula to estimate your total. You should speak with a local construction manager to see what you’ll need to do in terms of clearing and leveling the land, connecting utilities, and pulling permits for construction. A professional will be able to get you an accurate estimate for land development.
