Customers say: Terrific value

"I realized rather late that I was just plain over my head with the amount of snow dumped by the blizzard that just hit the area. I sent out several phone messages and/or emails (most voicemail boxes were full) to several businesses in the area. Gene was the only one to respond. I'm SO grateful he did. They were at my door the next morning, just as they said they would be and my driveway was cleared in no time! Very reasonably priced and very friendly; I highly recommend them!"

"Mason was fantastic to work with. Very pleasant, patient, knowledgeable, clear and detailed oriented. The master bath remodel was finished ahead of time. The crew, (Giovanni & Abby) were was at the house daily and were nice folks who did a really good job with the full remodel of the old bathroom. Excellent communications, suggestions, planning and follow ups from Mason made the whole process stress-free. The cost is fair and in the midrange of the market. I would not hesitate to have Mason work on any other future project on the house and highly recommend his services."

"We have had a crazy (and crazy ambitious) backyard project going for five years, involving 90 feet of huge stone gabions (wire boxes filled with rock), a wild meadow with paths, and a 1000+ sq/ft patio area that we wanted segmented into various components (patio, fire pit area, play area, etc). Plus a yard-wide drainage issue that needed to be dealt with. Over the years we solicited estimates from literally a half-dozen landscapers, who all either disappeared (didn't want to deal with it) or gave us walloping estimates for much more than we wanted. 

Jesse at Tillerman Gardens was totally different. He listened. Can't tell you how important that is. And rather than start thinking about the ways is wouldn't work, his mind immediately went to how he could make it work, and how he could do it at a reasonable cost.

He was super-busy the summer we contacted him so we didn't get to start working until months later, but he kept in touch the whole time and explained his schedule. Once we started working, he and his crew were just a joy to work with. They have a real passion for their work and they are so good at it. In addition to the solid patio, they did a great job with a tricky concrete project, and moved four giant boulders down a narrow half-driveway into place in our backyard -- no easy task. 

Jesse was constantly in touch about design and implementation details (though my sense is he would be fine making decisions if that is what the client wanted). It was clear throughout the job that Jesse was laser-focused on getting us the patio we wanted. He was constantly making changes and adding bits and pieces we wanted, most of which didn't show up on the final invoice. 

A few weeks after they finished, the big spring storms starting hitting. I emailed him with some small issues regarding the drainage pattern, and he emailed right back and offered to help if necessary. We are still figuring it out but I appreciate how clearly he stands by his work. 

I feel so fortunate we ended up working with Jesse. Can't recommend Tillerman Gardens highly enough. "

"Dave came out to assess the project on the day and time he told me. He seemed knowledgable about concrete demolition. When he asked to do a test for how the concrete would come out, I knew that he was my kind of contractor! Because he had information about the job from his test, he could give us a fair price! As it turns out this test he did was a strong predictor for how he works. He did all the work himself with his machines. He checked in with us about work hours and days. Very polite and respectful person. Right before he came to do the job, a small tornado came through our area and knocked down several larger trees and large branches. I strained my back removing some of the branches and approached Dave about helping me out. He jumped right in the next day with his own chainsaw and other machinery and downed and cleared two large trees and other branches! When he was done with pool patio demolition and tree removal, he cleaned up and seeded disturbed lawn areas. Dave is easy to talk to and has ideas and knowledge he will share with you. In short, he is great! He has my respect. We hope to have him working on future projects on our property."

"Once we agreed on a price, Oliver quickly scheduled the service and my yard was cleaned up the next day. He sent 4 people over and they were done in about 4 hours for an extensive yard cleanup. I had a few minor issues that Oliver agreed with and had his team fix quickly. Oliver was very easy to work with. Would use again."

"I have about 2 acres of wooded yard and fell hopelessly behind dealing with the leaves. So I contacted the folks at ACE for some help. The staff and service was great from start to finish.
They we friendly when I called to  set up the appointment and worked with me to accommodate my work schedule. And, they continued to to make sure I was in the loop when the two gentlemen came to do the work. Not only did they contacted me to tell me they were going to be a bit delayed - it turned out to be about an half-hour - because of some engine troubles, they also spent time with me when the arrived to find out what my expectations were and where I wanted them to focus their efforts. Afterwards, they gave me regular progress updates. Since they were hired at an hourly rate, they wanted to make sure that they completed the work  I needed done and that there were no unexpected surprises regarding the cost. Both of which, I very much appreciated.
Moreover, although the cost was a bit higher than I hoped, that was because I underestimated the scale of the job. In retrospect, the cost was very fair given  the herculean effort of the two gentlemen - unfortunately I can't recall their names - to clear up all of the leaves. They worked nonstop, methodically, and effectively, and were able to clean up the entire property. When they were done there wasn't so much as a leaf or branch left behind anywhere. I was amazed!
I can't say enough good things about the folks at ACE. I would hire them again in an instant and would recommend them to anyone who needs work done around the yard.

Land Clearing Services FAQs, answered by experts

A land survey provides precise property boundaries, reveals legal encroachments, and identifies rights-of-way, minimizing disputes. Understanding the exact dimensions and features of the property aids in informed decision-making and safeguards the buyer's investment.

Soil testers and licensed excavators are often the professionals you hire if you need a perc test. In some cases, structural engineers will also be able to conduct the test for you. In many municipalities, you’ll need your professional on-site to dig and fill the holes with water, as well as a representative from your local building department or health department. That representative is the individual who will determine whether your test passes or fails.

A boundary survey measures the boundary lines of the property, only the length of each property line and their locations. A land survey includes a more in-depth measurement of the property, including the heights and depths of the terrain measured by a topographic survey. A boundary survey is typically the most cost-effective method for marking and measuring property lines.

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.

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
