"Don't expect to have everything perfectly done. He does a great job in preparing you to do your end of the job which is straightening up organizing the area so you'll have to do a little cleanup which I did not mind doing. So I would say he did a fine job Nick is a fine guy and he is reasonable with the pricing I am very pleased. The only reason why I gave four stars is to make you realize that everything is not going to be just perfect perfect after the job is done. I guess if you went to you can pay more and have the cleanup done to your satisfaction. You have to ask him how much extra that would cost. Make sure you have a contract with what is expected and the time involved how many days it will take. And after you have the contract satisfaction as to what is expected what is nice is that you pay him after the job is done which I really like that too. This was a four-day project of clearing out Autumn olives and honeysuckles out of a 5 acre field, and he put in a 50 x 100 ft pond and he did remove some tree removal on the fence line cleaning out the 600 ft . fence line . Now it's my job to clean up the leftover trash of autumn olives and honeysuckle off the ground. Now it's my job too smooth out and plant the seed on the dam. Now it's my job to clean up cut up the trees that were removed off of the fence line. The only thing I would do different is I would not have any trees moved off to the fence line just the brush. That would be less clean up for me. Contract first pay later I love it. And you know when you do straighten up afterwards you kind of put your own few touches in to make it the way you really want it to be."

Land Clearing Services questions, answered by experts

You will find a collection of licensed land surveyors in your area. Your real estate agent or construction manager may also be able to recommend a trusted professional. When speaking with prospective pros in your area, ask the land surveyor if they are licensed in the state, have liability insurance, and can quote you a fee before starting.

If you’re planning to dig on your property, you’ll need to check for underground utility lines. Call the national call-before-you-dig 811 number. Once connected to an operator, you can schedule a site visit to mark underground lines. This way, you won’t accidentally dig into pipes and can cause major (read: costly) issues.

To hire a land surveyor, you need to start by searching online for reputable professionals in your area. Here are a few steps to take when making a shortlist:

  • Browse land surveyor service website

  • Check credentials

  • Read customer reviews

  • Find their contact information

  • Call or email to inquire about more information

  • Ask how far they travel, if you’re some distance away

  • Find out how they charge for their services

  • Ask about schedule and turnaround times

  • Repeat these steps for one to two other services and compare pricing

When planning for land survey costs, you should consider the following elements as major contributors to the overall cost:

  • Size of your property in terms of acres or square feet

  • Complexity of the terrain in terms of hills, elevation changes, rocks, water, and other features

  • Type of survey you need (boundary survey, topographic survey, or a combination of survey types)

  • Distance traveled for the professional surveyor

Building a road on a slope requires careful planning and will normally require a drainage system underneath to prevent flooding and damage to the road over time. Your professional may lengthen your road to create switchbacks if the slope directly to your home is too steep, as there are regulations for maximum road slope. The drainage system will help prevent runoff from the higher side of the slope from damaging the asphalt or concrete. Keep in mind that building a road on a slope isn’t a good DIY project, as a lot can go wrong.
