"We couldn't be happier with the work they did for us! He completed our septic system, leach field, and slab preparation, but went above and beyond what we expected. Our property was very rough, full of rocks, stumps, brush, and bushes. He took the time to remove stumps and rocks, used the excavator (very skilled) to smooth out the entire property, built a beautiful rock wall using rocks dug from the property, and seeded and hayed the area. The transformation is incredible! Everything looks so nice, and we couldn't be more pleased with how our property turned out. It's not often you find someone who takes so much pride in their work and goes the extra mile to make sure everything looks great. We highly recommend him and would absolutely hire him again."

"We hired an Eastern Maine Excavation to address some drainage issues in our backyard, and we couldn't be happier with the results! They installed a retention pond, French drain, and regraded. Not only did they effectively solve the drainage problems, but they also transformed our backyard into a more functional and aesthetically pleasing space. Now, even after heavy rain, our yard remains dry and usable. The professionalism and expertise of the team were evident throughout the process, from initial consultation to completion. We highly recommend their services to anyone dealing with similar drainage issues. Thanks to them, we can finally enjoy our outdoor space without worrying about flooding or water damage."

Land Clearing Services FAQs, answered by experts

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.

Yes, new home construction will always require building permits, no matter where you live. In most cases, you’ll need a general construction permit, along with plumbing and electrical permits for the utility lines in your home. Depending on where you live, you’ll likely find that you also need permits for things like connection to a sewage system or installing exterior components, like decks, driveways, patios, and curb cutouts. Leave navigating the permits required for new home construction to a professional to ensure your home is built legally and safely.

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.

When planning for land survey costs, you should consider the following elements as major contributors to the overall cost:

  • Size of your property in terms of acres or square feet

  • Complexity of the terrain in terms of hills, elevation changes, rocks, water, and other features

  • Type of survey you need (boundary survey, topographic survey, or a combination of survey types)

  • Distance traveled for the professional surveyor

It is almost always necessary to hire a land surveyor near you to ensure your fence sits on the right side of the property line. Mistaking the shape of your property can lead to fines and costly changes if you have to move or adjust the privacy fence—not to mention some surly looks from your neighbor. We recommend jumpstarting your fence planning in the spring to ensure there is plenty of time to map out your plan before construction season.
