"Chris and his team arrived with a flat bed truck and went to work after walking the job and providing a quote that I found reasonable.  In the end; the flat bed truck was completely filled to the top,  and side yard was completly clear of yard debris.  All in all, Silverback hauling removed approximately 4 - 5 dumpster loads in a matter of 2 hours and removed the last 16 feet of old redwood fence.  Note: For me to haul the debris away it would have taken me approximately 20 or so runs to the dump, gas and the entire day.
I would recommend Silverback Hauling and Demolition to any of my friends, neighbors and anyone.  Chris, thank you for your time and providing updates via phone calls.
To all of my fellow Angie list members, Chris believes in communication by phone, which seems difficult for other contractors but not Chris.  Fantastic customer service!

"I cannot rave enough about Warren, Oscar and the whole team. In June of 2014, Down aunder Services landscaped our entire backyard (almost a third of an acre), transforming a rocky, dirt-filled wasteland into a gorgeous, lush space with a tiered hill and grass. WOW! We loved it so much that we signed up for their maintenance (gardening) services as well and most recently hired them again for our front yard. The prices are also extremely reasonable and I appreciated the open lines of communication. They finish every job on time and are very transparent about costs and expectations. We are moving to a new home and will be calling Warren again for all of our future landscaping needs there as well.

"Tom was an outstanding contractor.  His team worked diligently for 2+ months.  They were flexible, incorporating needs as the project evolved.  We did a TON of work.  Demo: removed patio, 14 trees, and existing greenery.  Fence work: repaired and refinished fences around entire perimeter.  Hardscape: built large new stone patio and sitting wall in back, extended front steps and built new stone walkway in front.  All new greenery (trees, plants, sod).  Redid drainage including large collection drains.  New irrigation.  New lighting including two transformers.  Driveway stain.  Everything was done professionally.

"I don't use contractors much because I do most of my repairs and construction. But after my 30,000 gallon pool started dropping 3 inches of water a day after spending about $10,000 in various repairs over the past 5 years on it, I decided to have it demolished, a task that was way out of my scope. After meeting with 4 other contractors, I chose Transcend because John came off as a straight shooter and just a nice guy. Their bid was the lowest which was almost 70% lower than the highest bid. I told John what my plan was for the backfill area, a garden oasis with trees. He assured me, and even set aside before the start, that he would obtain "good" dirt and not construction backfill​ dirt. After work, I would stop by the property and check on progress. They worked efficient and effective as there was no damage to any of the structures on my property. The biggest factor though of me writing this review, as I don't write often, is these guys' integrity​. As the project got delayed 2 days because of rain I knew these guys were behind schedule and that they had another job lined up. Nonetheless, while I was at work, they rejected a load of dirt that was dropped off in front of the property and made the truck come back and pick it up as it was full of sand and gravel unsuitable for planting. This, and procuring better dirt, cost them an additional day but spoke volumes to their integrity and client's best interest. With no reservations, I recommend these guys and not for just their affordability, but great workmanship and a pleasure to work with."

Land Clearing Services questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

Several government-backed lending programs can help first-time home buyers purchase a home with little money down. FHA, USDA, and VA loans are options for qualifying borrowers, though many conventional mortgage lenders will lower down payment rates to as low as 3 percent.

A land survey defines and records the physical aspects of a property, including its boundaries, dimensions, easements, features, and sometimes topographical information. In contrast, a land appraisal determines the property's monetary value. While an appraiser will often consult a land survey to understand the property's physical specifications, the survey itself does not determine the land's value.
