"Juan and his crew did an amazing job clearing a lot of shrub and capping off a irrigation water spout that is not used. Cleaned up all areas and quick to be in and out. Showed up on time which I appreciate."

"Marcos and his crew showed up at the designated time and went right to work. Besides taking out a dead tree, they trimmed 12 trees. We are extremely happy with the end product. Our yard looks great and it is now one less thing we need to worry about. If you are in need of tree service or landscaping, give Lifetime Tree Service a call. You’ll be happy you did."

"Trevor and his team showed up at about 7:30 a.m., right on schedule, and went straight to work. They were a skilled team, courteous, professional, and careful to prevent damage to the property and belongings (AND the inhabitants) as they dismantled the two trees. The job took less time than estimated and they were finished by 10 a.m.. That included time to trim two other trees I asked them to take care of while they were here. (I paid extra for that service.) They did a superb job removing the trees and grinding the stumps down to below ground level. Trees removed and trimmed, the team performed an excellent cleanup of the debris from the work. I would hire them again and recommend them to anyone needing tree services."

"This company was wonderful to work with. We scheduled a consultation , they came over the next day. Luis is a certified Arborist he gave us advice for trimming the roots to our trees and tree removal. ( We have mature trees starting to lift our driveway) They answered all our questions and concerns. The quote was significantly less than other quotes we had from companies that do not have an Arborist on staff!!!!! This team came and removed everything we wanted and did such an incredible job! We even added on a few extra items when they were here and they were able to add on the work and complete it at that time without having to come back. They had a LOT of work, Huge overgrown oleanders, multiple trees, multiple bushes over 6 feet. All removed WITH the roots and guaranteed that if the trees/ plants come back they will come back- at no cost - to remove. I have never heard of that! And we've hired many tree removal/ trimming services over the years. We definitely recommend New Green Earth Tree care and will use them for our home for many many years. We've referred all our neighbors and friends. We have a nursery coming this week to plant new shrubs, trees, hedges, and palms. New Green Earth Tree care cleared everything for us even the weeds and ivy to help with our project"

Kent’s large crew worked as a team, with three climbers, spotters, several clean up workers, word chipper for palm fronds, stump grinders, haul away trucks. Worked safely & efficiently. Highly recommend - neighbors requested bids as well from C & H."

"I used La Costa Tree Service for some residential tree and tall hedge trimming. They were price competitive and very responsive to my initial enquiry. They arrived on-time with a crew of four, and completed all the work, and a little extra, without any issues at all, and also cleared/removed all debris. I would happily use them again."

"Maya’s Landscaping Service is amazing! We have multiple eucalyptus trees and other trees that needed to be trimmed way down. They were here on time, gave us a more than fair price and did the work quickly and efficiently. All of the team members were very friendly. Hire them! You will not be disappointed."

FAQs for land clearing projects in Encinitas, CA

Unfortunately, some plumbing scenarios, like a broken sewer pipe repair, will require excavation to complete the job. Plumbing excavation costs range from $30 to $70 per cubic foot. However, if you need additional trenching, expect to pay an extra $4 to $12 per linear foot. Keep in mind that these costs are on top of the plumbing repair costs, and they don’t account for labor costs. Consult your excavation specialist to determine an accurate estimate for your job.

The average cost for pool excavation is $2,500. This cost can range from $450 to $4,500, depending on the pool shape and size, time of year, and any need to move buried utilities. 

When excavating for your pool, you might have to move existing utilities. You can expect to pay an additional $15 to $25 per linear foot to move gas lines. To move a septic system, it’ll cost an additional $2,000 to $20,000. A pool that is 10 feet by 12 feet averages $450 to excavate, and a 20-foot-by-40-foot pool averages $3,020.

The cost for residential excavation is $3,200 on average, ranging between $50 and $200 per cubic yard. Total costs could range from $500 to $15,000, depending on the project type, yard size, and soil type. 

When a project needs an excavator, the contractor will subcontract one as part of the larger project. If you hire an excavation specialist, you can expect to pay between $40 and $180 per hour. When excavating, if you have soil with excessive rocks or clay deposits, expect an additional cost of $200 to $1,200.

On average, removing a tree costs around $750, but you can expect to pay between $200 to $2,000. Factors that impact the overall cost include the number of trees you’re having removed, their height, the diameter of their trunks, permits needed, and the tree’s accessibility. You’ll pay more if the tree is in a hard-to-reach area or dangerous location, like close to power lines.

Yes, you will want to confirm that the tree removal company you hire is insured before proceeding with the job. Tree removal can be dangerous work, and it's important to verify that the company carries the proper insurance to cover any onsite accidents or damage.
