"I wish these young men were my sons. I am proud to have had the opportunity to hire them for a somewhat complex job concerning 43 tons of soil being delivered and then correctly molded and shaped into the site that was best for my lawn. If you want to receive assurance that honesty and great American values are not dead,yet hire this company! Their price was very reasonable without the quality of their work being cheap!"

Land Clearing Services FAQs, answered by experts

Costs vary, but you can expect to spend between $1,000 and $4,000 to prepare land for a mobile home or before you build a house. You’ll need to clear enough land for the foundation, which may require leveling or grading, as well as removing trees, stumps, and plants. Don’t forget to plan for permits and fees and the installation of a gas line, water line, and sewer main.

It is almost always necessary to hire a land surveyor near you to ensure your fence sits on the right side of the property line. Mistaking the shape of your property can lead to fines and costly changes if you have to move or adjust the privacy fence—not to mention some surly looks from your neighbor. We recommend jumpstarting your fence planning in the spring to ensure there is plenty of time to map out your plan before construction season.

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.

A professional land surveyor ensures accurate property boundaries and prevent legal disputes.

Depending on property size and complexity, usually 1-3 weeks.
