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!"

"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."

Land Clearing Services FAQs, answered by experts

Detailed mapping of elevation changes and natural features on the property.

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.

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 or your mortgage lender think your land survey needs to be more accurate, double-check the survey report and get at least a second opinion from the original surveyor and an inspector, if possible. Although it’s unlikely, even reputable surveying companies can make mistakes. An inaccurate survey can cause problems down the road in the case of any property line disputes, so it’s best to resolve any inaccuracies as quickly as possible.
