"We have hired Blue Costa for a few projects which have included a concrete pad for a hot tub, as well as leaf cleanup in the fall. They are top-notch! The owners are highly communicative, which is great because you know when they are coming out and you can get in touch with them very quickly. They show up when they say they will. They charge what they say. They are going to charge you. Their work is beautiful. Even though we hired them just to put in a concrete pad for a hot tub on a pre-existing deck, they took the time to clean the entire deck, and even re-leveled some of the stones. It was amazing. It was like the whole deck was brand new. At our previous home we definitely had our fair share of terrible contractors. Moving to a new house we needed to find new contractors and we are so happy that we picked Blue Costa! A+ service!"

"Wladimir is very professional and straight forward. He and his co-worker did a beautiful job on putting up a fence that didn t block our view of the land. They were able to complete the project in shorter time than what was expected. I would definitely hire him again!"

"Cameron showed up right on time, measured and marked off the site and went to work. Excavated the site, spread and leveled 5 yards of 3/4? stone. The Reeds Ferry foreman complimented Cameron?s work. I have more work to do and Cam and his excavator can do the heavy lifting. Highly recommend Cameron."

Land Clearing Services FAQs, answered by experts

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.

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.

Yes, they assess topography and potential risks related to flooding.

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.
