"We were so impressed with the entire process. We wanted to reduce the upkeep and give the house a fresh look. Our first project was a stone walkway. We love it! Next Jill helped us plan removal of evergreens, a shell driveway, and way too much area with mulch. Our goal is to be able to stay in our home as we get older and to be able to manage it. We were given planting plan and an estimate that was clear and even used my own words, this told me that Jill really listened to us. They showed up when they promised and were flexible with a few changes and additions. With the many projects we have done over the years, this was by far the least stressful and most satisfying of them all. We give high praise to CP unlimited if you are looking for exactly what you asked for in a stress free no surprises fashion. We are happy to recommend CP to our friends and neighbors."

Land Clearing Services FAQs, answered by experts

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.

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.

If you can’t find any records online, you’ll need to contact your county clerk’s office to do further research. They should have property records on file, or can at least point you in the right direction of who to contact. You can also speak with your neighbors about when their houses were built because they were likely built around the same time.

Land survey reports have a boatload of information relevant to several scenarios. Here are the types of information contained with a survey, though it depends on your chosen type of land survey. Exact boundaries and dimensions of a given property General topography, including both natural and artificial landmarks Location of utility fixtures, like water mains Confirmation of any easements or encroachments on a piece of property Assessment of land elevation to buy flood insurance Updated information to add to a pre-existing property map

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.
