"Xtreme Excavation and Grading was fantastic, my sewer pipe was backing up so i ran a camera and come to find out it was packed full with roots and waste, so I googled up some companies and got a couple quotes but the I called and spoke with Brandon (the owner of Xtreme) and him and his guys didn’t waste any time!! He told me the price (which was extremely reasonable nearly half as much as the other 2 places i called) came out the next day and fixed my issue, Very friendly and knowledgeable and they did great work!! I will definitely be keeping them in mind for future needs"

"We live in a heavily wooded area and have used Preservation before.  Emerald Ash Borer killed 15 very tall ash trees; my husband took down many himself, but we had 5 that were potentially dangerous to either our home or our neighbors.  Tom called Preservation and Jeff called back and came out promptly to review the situation.  Three of the trees were definitely precarious and 2 of them could not be reached by the truck.
On Wednesday, the crew came out promptly at 9:00 a.m. and went to work.  They removed the trees closest to our home using the truck.  They dropped the tops and cleaned up the debris to a site that my Husband designated.  Through the day they proceeded to remove the 3 that were least dangerous, then they worked on the 2 that were the most problematic.
The tree to the north was leaning and caught up in another tree.  The crew climbed the tree and removed the top and then the larger limbs.  The crew reviewed their processes and determined the best way to proceed. They tied the tree to another tree, then he got down and was able to move the truck close to a limb that was caught in another tree.  When he cut the limb, it released the main portion of the tree and the whole tree came down.  Because he had tied it to another, they were able to control the direction of the fall.
From there they went to the north side with an even larger tree.  They followed the same procedure as above and were able to take that tree down safely as well.
Since then, the wind from Hurricane Sandy has been impacting Michigan; wind gusts today of 35 mph.  The possibility of those trees coming down on their own was high.
So, once again, Preservation was called, responded quickly, came out and safely removed the trees.  They cleaned up behind them, were very professional and charged a very fair price.  They are our go to people for anything related to tree removal, and because of our experience with them we have recommended them to our neighbors who have also used them.  You will not go wrong using this great firm!

Land Clearing Services questions, answered by experts

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.

There are a couple of ways you can determine the depth of your well. One method is to use a device called a well sounder. This tool has a long measuring tape containing a sensor to alert you once the end reaches the water. 

Or you can DIY it by using a long tape measure with a half-filled bottle of water attached to it. Lower the tape measure into your well. Once you feel tension on the tape, you’ll know the bottle has reached your static water level. This will give you an approximate idea of your well’s depth.

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 will find a collection of licensed land surveyors in your area. Your real estate agent or construction manager may also be able to recommend a trusted professional. When speaking with prospective pros in your area, ask the land surveyor if they are licensed in the state, have liability insurance, and can quote you a fee before starting.

Building a road on a slope requires careful planning and will normally require a drainage system underneath to prevent flooding and damage to the road over time. Your professional may lengthen your road to create switchbacks if the slope directly to your home is too steep, as there are regulations for maximum road slope. The drainage system will help prevent runoff from the higher side of the slope from damaging the asphalt or concrete. Keep in mind that building a road on a slope isn’t a good DIY project, as a lot can go wrong.
