"Jake from Home Ready Services arrived on time and was prepared to get me a price when the first Home Advisor contractor responded to my calls. His phone was damaged over the weekend. I decided to hire the first contractor. I was impressed with Jake from Home Ready Services and will keep his number for future jobs."

"Chris Huber was the construction manager for finishing our full basement and for major remodeling in the rest of our house. He worked with us for about 4 months throughout all stages of the process, from planning to completion. He was extremely professional and innovative in his management of our project. We are extremely satisfied with the work down on our house (and it was a major project!). Chris listened to our ideas, contacted and worked with all the trades working on our house, and made sure that everything was completed to our liking. He would meet with us several times during this process to go over the work and to make sure that everything was going well. He responded to our requests immediately and did not hesitate to complete some of the tasks himself if needed. We give him our highest recommendation possible. He will ensure that quality work is done on your construction project."

Land Clearing Services FAQs, answered by experts

Several government-backed lending programs can help first-time home buyers purchase a home with little money down. FHA, USDA, and VA loans are options for qualifying borrowers, though many conventional mortgage lenders will lower down payment rates to as low as 3 percent.

Depending on the type of land survey, the report will mark the boundaries of your property, the topographical changes of the landscape, as well as major natural and added structures to the plot. A more detailed survey, like an as-built survey, will note the measurements of the structures and landscape following major construction. A topographic survey will also help your contractor determine the cost of land development projects.

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.

Prior to excavation, you should prepare the dig site and call 311 before you sign anything.

To get your site ready for excavation, you should move anything in the area that isn’t affixed to the land. You can save money on the excavation by removing hardscaping, including walkways, decks, concrete patios, and paver patios.

Before you carry out any digging, you should call 311 to confirm that there are no utility lines running through your excavation site. Skipping this step could lead to severe injury and property damage if your excavator hits a water, sewage, or gas line.

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.
