"Company was hired to prepare and excavate a pad site for a pole barn garage. The guy "Wilson" knows what he is doing however he short changed me on the services that we agreed to. In addition, he under estimated materials needed to complete the work as well as while excavating the area, my sprinkler system was damaged. I had to advise him to come back and complete compaction of fill dirt. After compaction you were able to see that the site was clearly not leveled. I had to bring in more fill dirt to accommodate for this. I paid him anyway because his effort was good, but after payment he never followed up with me. It's like once he was paid then you never hear from him!"

From the first phone call to a minor question with the final invoice, I couldn't have asked for better service. I would highly recommend Air Temp Solutions to anyone."

"Rightway Waterproofing is the company you want to come and waterproof your basement. I had initially set up a job looking for pros through Angie's List. I was contacted by Rightway Waterproofing via phone and email but did not respond as life happens. Well it rained really heavy again in August and I had more water in the basement. I reached out to them on a Friday and Albert contacted me immediately. They were able to come out on Monday to look at my property. Jake was thorough and friendly. He let me know what he thought we needed, explained everything thoroughly and gave us a quote which was completely reasonable. We accepted the bid and work was to commence on Thurs as they had an opening. Work was completed in one day. The area was kept pristine and they did an amazing job. The crew was courteous to my family. I could not recommend them more. I hope to have them out again at some point to finish my basement area as well. Try to keep in mind that during the season of covid many families are looking for ways to make more space in their homes or to have to home projects done. If you are waiting for work to be done just know that it is worth it! Thanks Rightway!!!"

"Arrived on time, cut down a 4â Dia. Elm aprox. 50â high, delimbed and cut into 18â slabs. Also cut down 14â Dia. Wild cherry, delimbed but did not cut into slabs but left in 4â - 5â sections. Trunks of both trees were cut into 8â logs to be hauled to saw mill. They do not grind stumps. I would recommend Fuller Aerial Solutions for tree work and plan to do so on another property! ð ð"

"My wife and I purchased a 5 acre parcel in Caroline County Maryland. A short time after our purchase of our property I spent multiple days and endless hours making phone calls to find an independent contractor to come in and fully clear my lot of all trees, debris and vegetation, where my wife and I could finally build our dream home. On or about the fourth day a gentleman who lived close by the property that I had purchased stopped in. I’m guessing in to welcome us to the community. He referred us to Superior Property Services LLC. During the conversation, when speaking with the owner and operator, I was absolutely taken away by the professionalism, respect, and friendliness not to mention theeducational and informational way detailing step-by-step, start to finish on how they would approach what I needed done to get my property prepared for the build. My wife and I are now happily living in our dream, only because of the excellency performed by Superior Property Services LLC."

"I gave Smith Mill site prep five stars across the board for a multitude of reasons one he was kind and courteous on time up front with all information and prices and his prices are very very reasonable plus he kept me informed on what was going on the whole time they never stopped until the job was done and I thought my job would last at least two days they got it done in under one. PS I am not a robot I am not a professional reviewer I'm just very satisfied with the work that was done by Smith millsite prep."

FAQs for land clearing projects in Dover, DE

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.
