"Sean Farrell Excavation was hired to do over our driveway. Sean clearly reviewed all the materials, steps involved, and hours that the crew would be at our property. The work was meticulous and on time. Reviewing the steps beforehand left us with no surprises and we were able to plan our day to day around it. We were thrilled with the finished results. Sean took the time to listen, relay it to his crew and deliver a gorgeous driveway. We even got a phone call when work was completed to make sure we were happy, something that rarely happens from a company owner these days. I would highly recommend him and his crew for any similar work."

"I am so pleased that HomeAdvisor sent PG'z Junk Removal as an option when I asked about getting a dumpster. This was actually easier and about the same price. The owner was really easy to work with, schedule, and even when I needed to add more debris, he was kind as I needed to have him adjust the estimate/bid. He was professional, as was his partner. And he was really nice to talk to. They both worked really hard and got a large pile of lumber and bags of construction debris cleared away in short order. I would hire them again any time and recommend them without reservation!"

"We interviewed a few contractors and most agreed on the same strategy for dealing with the problem: an internal French drain and sump pump. We chose Scott from Affordable Masonry b/c he seemed the most experienced in dealing with this issue. His explanation of the problem and what he would do to address it was very clear. His write-up of the proposal was brief but contained all the useful information. He was open to being asked questions and gave truthful responses. We agreed on a date and Scott and two other men arrived promptly at 8:30 to begin the job. They worked very hard all day and did everything they said they would. An unexpected problem arose and we negotiated a reasonable compromise. They finished the job around 5:30 and the basement was even cleaner than when they began the job. A few tests of the new system demonstrated that it was working as planned. We feel confident that we have addressed the issue and confident that we could call Scott if a problem arose again."

Land Clearing Services FAQs, answered by experts

A land survey includes the layout of a single property, including precise measurements and to-scale drawings of boundary lines, land improvements, and sometimes other features, like topography and drainage information. A plat map includes the layouts and boundary lines of several adjacent plots and basic structure measurements. Surveys are normally more valuable for homeowners and buyers, and plat maps are for governmental use.

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.

Professional well contractors may use electromagnetic mapping to look for places with a high likelihood of water. Water access can vary significantly, even on the same property, so it can be difficult to know where to drill if you don’t have specialized tools to look for water.

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

Leave navigating the permits required for new home construction to a professional to ensure your home is built legally and safely.
