"I had a great experience with this company when I needed mold removed from my home. From the initial inspection to the completion of the work, everyone was professional, courteous, and knowledgeable. They explained the process clearly, answered all of my questions, and kept me informed throughout the job. The team arrived on time, worked efficiently, and took the necessary precautions to protect the rest of my home. They did a thorough job removing the affected material and cleaning the area, and they left everything neat and clean when they were finished."

"Mr. Murphy and his employee clearly had much experience at their work, and did it efficiently. They were prompt and courteous, and treated both their equipment and my property with care. Mr. Murphy was happy to discuss options when I had questions. When they got to my property, Mr. Murphy saw that there was more work to be done. Then we had discussed; suggested that we alter our contract to include the additional work, and charged me fairly for that extra work. I was grateful for his suggestion that the extra work be done, and grateful for his being prepared to do it."

Land Clearing Services questions, answered by experts

Detailed mapping of elevation changes and natural features on the property.

A few different types of land surveys can help determine certain features and boundaries of your property. These include:

  • Boundary surveys describe the actual borders of a property. These are generally required when trying to get construction permits issued. 

  • Location surveys provide much of the same information as a boundary survey but also include in-depth information about any improvements made to your property. 

  • Mortgage location surveys are usually required by lenders and title companies before financing or offering an insurance policy. 

  • Site-planning surveys are done before applying for building permits and can be issued before any major home improvements. 

  • Topographic surveys provide a formal map of land elevations. It can also describe the location and size of natural features and any land improvements.

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.

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.

Surveys completed by licensed surveyors can be recorded with a local surveying records office, and in most cases, they will be. Filing survey reports categorize them as legal documents, and they can be used whenever legal documentation of your property’s boundaries is needed. While you’re not required to file survey documents, it’s a good idea to do so.
