"I highly recommend The Builders & Cleaners for any remediation needs. From the very beginning, their proposal was incredibly detailed and transparent, with the Project Manager clearly outlining the scope of work and the materials to be used. They provided a high-value solution that was very fair compared to other quotes I received. The overall service was professional, seamless, and timely. Communication was a standout part of the experience; I was kept in the loop daily by their amazing Office Admin. A huge part of this success was the crew chief, who was fantastic to work with. He managed the team with precision, ensured every detail was attended to, and handled every request with professionalism and expertise. Most importantly, the quality of the work was excellent. The remediation was thorough, precise, and completed to a very high standard. They didn't cut any corners and ensured that everything was cleaned and restored perfectly before finishing the job. Courteous, dependable &"

"From start to finish, Hernan + crew did an outstanding job on a very big yard clean-up project. Our yard was completely overgrown. We needed to have all the weeds, leaves, and vines cleared. There was quite alot of brush to be removed, along with some small tree stumps. The crew started on-time, was always professional, cleaned up daily, and worked hard to complete the project within the promised timeline. Hernan responded quickly and was good with any necessary follow-up. The quote was very competitive (we got a number of bids for the work.) We highly recommend Eight Lanes and look forward to hiring them for future yard-related projects."

"David from Belinquete immediately understood what we were trying to accomplish and provided thoughtful, thorough recommendations throughout the process. His quote was delivered promptly, and once we accepted it, he quickly scheduled the installation. David and his team completed the work exactly as promised, on time and with great attention to detail. We had high expectations going into the project, and Belinquete exceeded them in every respect. I would not hesitate to hire David and his team again and highly recommend them to anyone seeking quality workmanship and exceptional service."

"Easland did a great job from start to finish. We met with David, who evaluated the project and provided a quote that, in my mind, was fair and within the range that I expected. He clearly knows his business and he got his equipment in, got the job done, got his equipment out all without creating a mess to clean up! Kathy did the paperwork and dealt with the Town. She was excellent at letting me know about inspections, approvals and time frames. The skilled equipment operator, Tyler, demolished our cottage, that at some places was less than 6' from our neighbor, without anything hitting that house. We could not have been happier and highly recommend Easland!"

"I don't know why my original review never showed up so I am submitting it again!. We hired them to clear land and build a stone patio. Their work was so great that we also had them take down our old cedar deck and build a new one with the same type of stone. Benny and his crew are hard working and reliable. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a contractor they can trust!"

Land Clearing Services FAQs, 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.

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.

Property lines, building locations, and potential encroachments are mapped.

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.

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.
