"I had them remove a large dying tree along with a dilapidated treehouse and playset (which was in another part of my yard). They did both for what I feel was a very fair price, and left both areas looking clear. They were responsive and communicative throughout the planning and project."

"ALL SERVICE CALLS exceeded our expectations & provided excellent & prompt work at our home. From the timely, prompt & fair estimate to setting an appointment within 2 days, we were pleased with their labor. The team arrived on Thursday early & completed the work of clearing our trees & overgrowth within 4 hours. They also hauled away the debris. I plan to hire them again as for a few other projects as trees/landscaping is just one aspect of what they do. SIMPLY AWESOME. HIGHLY RECOMMEND ALL SERVICE CALLS LLC."

"It went well. I emailed Junk Relief with a description of the service needed, and they scheduled a pick-up within a 2 hour window the following day. On the day of pick-up, the movers called 30 minutes ahead of their arrival, and arrived on time. The whole thing lasted not more than 5 minutes, and they accepted cash or credit card payment on-site, which was convenient. I'm sure if you have a really good friend, time and a good back, you could do a disposal like this on your own, but if you don't, call Junk Relief. Their price seemed similar to other disposal services listed. I was not up-charged from the quote given."

"Excellent service from start to finish.  Greg came out to look at the crawl and there was actually also a problem in the attic.  I scheduled the crawlspace work and it came out beautifully.  I will be doing the attic work later in the year.  So professional and courteous and GREAT communication about all the house needs without overselling the services.

"tl;dr I highly recommend talking to LAND before you hire any demo company, and would recommend them to any friend. I was afraid my single family home knockdown demo wouldn't be big enough to interest demo companies in Chicago, but since my first quote from LAND, I never felt like they were blowing me off. Actually, compared to a few people who had similar projects in Chicago with other companies, I expected zero transparency on pricing, zero updates on progress, and zero urgency. None of that was true with Dan. I actually found LAND extremely transparent and communicative. Every question I had along the way was answered same day, often within 10 minutes. Although there are always unexpected delays when dealing with a city like Chicago and its permit processes, I never felt like the project was abandoned. And as a resident in the neighboring building, I was very concerned of the noise and mess and possible damage but despite the super tight space, my neighbors and I were both happy with the quality of the job. I had a few special requests too, which Dan was able to accommodate where other companies who I talked to said it was too difficult (eg. can we save half the fence, can we leave the garage and demo from front, can we level out the soil, etc). Lastly, the price was super competitive too, right at the lower end of the range I was seeing from all the quotes I got. Thanks Dan and LAND."

Land Clearing Services questions, answered by experts

You can’t build on undeveloped land without preparing it for construction, which involves running utilities to the site or accounting for private utilities like wells and septic systems and grading and compacting the soil for safe construction. Once you prepare the land, you can build on it as long as the project abides by local zoning regulations.

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

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.

You should always calculate real estate development costs on a case-by-case basis, so there’s no specific formula to estimate your total. You should speak with a local construction manager to see what you’ll need to do in terms of clearing and leveling the land, connecting utilities, and pulling permits for construction. A professional will be able to get you an accurate estimate for land development.

If you or your mortgage lender think your land survey needs to be more accurate, double-check the survey report and get at least a second opinion from the original surveyor and an inspector, if possible. Although it’s unlikely, even reputable surveying companies can make mistakes. An inaccurate survey can cause problems down the road in the case of any property line disputes, so it’s best to resolve any inaccuracies as quickly as possible.
