Customers say: Super punctual

"Wow! Jeremy & his crew did an EXCEPTIONAL job clearing our site. There were trees, shrubs, random junk, large areas of cement and even sections with slabs of concrete half a foot thick and they just handled it all! Their pricing was reasonable, the scheduling was fast & convenient, and we could not be happier with the outcome. They left a very clean site behind. They are true pros. We will tell everyone we know about Conway Land Clearing & Site Prep!"

"The owner, Jessen Williams, is a professional in his field and strives to provide the best service in a timely and affordable manner. His crew are the hardest working men and once they have finished the project they leave the property in superb condition. I have used another company many times and they donâ t even come close to the quality of work provided by American Tree Solutions. I should also mention that the pricing is more than fair and once your project is completed you will be so pleased that you will use American Tree Solutions in the future."

Customers say: Terrific value

"Very professional. I've never seen anyone take the time to clean up like they did! They made sure nothing was left behind. I've had tree work done in the past, and the tree guys have always left a big mound of things behind that I'd have to deal with.. but not these guys! Hands down, they are the best I've ever seen!!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

A perc test can take anywhere from one to eight hours to complete. The total time depends on factors like the amount of excavation required, the depth and width of the holes, and whether multiple test holes are needed. For a single hole, the process of filling it with water and monitoring the drainage rate usually takes less than an hour. Professionals can often complete the entire test in a single day. While it's possible to get results the same day, some companies may take a few days to provide the official report.

Most professional excavation teams will charge between $8 and $15 per cubic yard. Calculate the cost by finding the volume of your pool—width x length x depth—and dividing it by 27. Then, multiply the price by the cubic yards from your equation. Budget for complications like a rocky lawn, hard-to-access pool area, or high local labor prices.

Yes, most services include site leveling and foundation work. Confirm with your contractor for specifics.

Yes. A metal detector is one of the quickest and easiest ways to find your septic tank. However, metal detectors can be too expensive (costing upward of $300 in some cases), and not everyone has a metal detector just lying around. If that’s the case for you, you can also take a long metal rod and poke it into the ground at regular intervals until you hit something—likely your septic tank lid.

Call 811 to locate and mark the gas lines at least three days before digging. In many areas, you can dig within 18 inches of the lines, though in some locations, the distance may be further. Check local regulations, as you may need a utility company representative onsite when digging. Document your calls to 811 and precautions taken to avoid gas lines. A homeowner can be held liable for hitting a gas line in some cases, but contacting the proper authorities and following all guidelines can offer protection.
