"I hired Rick to fix my gravel driveway, clear land and put in a pad for a 40 x 60 barn. He gave me a very good quote, and over performed during the job. The barn went up without a hitch and the drive is holding up perfectly. Two months after the completion we had flooding and a river flowed down my driveway, and the next day the driveway looked great. I would recommend ricks work and expertise to anyone and everyone. He is very professional and courteous at all times. A great guy and great excavator."

"Eric responded to my inquiry immediately and came out to our property later the same day. We had an issue with our perimeter drain- a small but crucial job. Service was prompt and professional and at a fair price. He did a great job! The drain is working properly and the yard looks great! Highly recommend."

Land Clearing Services FAQs, answered by experts

Before property transactions or major improvements to ensure accuracy.

A land survey can take anywhere from a few hours to a month or more, depending on the size of the property, the type of survey, the property’s accessibility and topography, and the availability of historical property records. A simple boundary survey to determine a fence line can be completed in a day while surveying 50 acres of undeveloped woodlands may take weeks or longer.

When considering the price of drilling a well, factor in how much you’ll save in water costs per year. The average family of four uses 100 gallons of water per person per day in the U.S. With a private water well, you can save hundreds each year.

Wells are also environmentally friendly. You don’t need to worry about drinking water treated with chemicals. Talk to at least three well pump contractors in your area. They’ll be able to tell you more about your options, give you different quotes, and discuss the biggest concerns.

To prepare for a land survey, you must thoroughly check your land surveyor’s qualifications, reviews, and fees to align with your expectations. When it is time for the survey to be conducted, ensure that you have all your documents organized and available, know and mark your property lines, and inform your neighbors that the survey is happening.

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.
