"Mr. Preban & his crew installed a drainage system in my yard. His written estimate was complete, fairly priced. They showed up when they said they would & worked a long couple of days. I definitely recommend Preban Enterprises."

"Excellent, as always. They have done SO much work for us over the years - 13 years since I have been here at our condo. We have two catch basins that need to be rodded and cleaned as preventive maintenance regularly. They have also done some work for us when we've had tree roots grow into our sewer lines. They were far less expensive than other quotes and did the work just as well. They are terrific. Angel, who always services our condo building is the best!"

"We couldn't be happier.  They came in and did the work around our schedule over 2 different Saturday (7 hours each day) just as planned.  They were punctual.  They were clearly most interested in doing the job right.  They explained how a back storage area needed drain tiletoo and installed it at no additional cost.  They wouldn't even let us unload the storage shelves full of heavy paint cans- insisting on doing the job start to finish with a smile and obvious pride in a job well done.  They cleaned the area when they were done and the sections of floor that they had to dig up are smooth with fresh concrete now. "

" It was a big project that went smoothly from beginning to end.  Steve and his crew did excellent work - especially in the excavation process which carefully preserved shrubs located right next to the drive.  The work crew was very professional:  on time, considerate and left the work site neat at the end of each day.  The finished driveway is beautiful - I have received several complements from neighbors and also from other service providers who have come to my home.  Totally worth the money!

"The firm first asked to come a couple hours later than originally planned, then arrived about 40 minutes earlier than their rescheduled time and had to wait until I returned about 30 minutes before their rescheduled time. They checked our two catch basins. One did not need much work but the other had a blockage, from crumbling mortar, that they cleared. They then rodded and sent a camera down a sewer line, to determine where there was a significant blockage, so that they could propose corrective action. They provided us a proposal for correcive action the next day. Our Board has agreed to pursue a couple of the proposals, but needs two more bids before proceeding."

Land Clearing Services questions, answered by experts

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

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.

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.

There are a couple of ways you can determine the depth of your well. One method is to use a device called a well sounder. This tool has a long measuring tape containing a sensor to alert you once the end reaches the water. 

Or you can DIY it by using a long tape measure with a half-filled bottle of water attached to it. Lower the tape measure into your well. Once you feel tension on the tape, you’ll know the bottle has reached your static water level. This will give you an approximate idea of your well’s depth.

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.
