"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!

"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.

"So I’m sure you are like me and never thought your house would just all of a sudden not work … my shower wasn’t draining and the toilet in the from to the house was off limits , I have kids and I work a lot . Kyle not only got the job done in three days but made sure I had complete service through the project. Being a single lady and having such a huge issue , he worked with me and got only the things I needed done . I felt heard when I asked crazy questions and my house felt respected . I don’t know why I chose patch of the others but I’m glad I did . ( I know why he saved me money from the big guys ) thank you so much I’m so glad to have my home back!! Please do not hesitate this company is my life saver !"

"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

Measure from zero on a measuring tape by placing the metal hook right up against the edge of what you need to measure. You can also latch the hook onto an open edge—of, say, a table—to accurately measure as well. If you begin at the 1-inch mark, you'll need to subtract an inch from your total.

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.

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.

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.

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.
