"They came and dug a new leach line that had been crushed from previous work done on the land. They were very professional and worked very hard to complete the job. It was not an easy task due to an abundance amount of very large rocks where we needed the new leach line. But they worked hard and made it happen. Very pleased with their work and effort from Wappapello, MO."

"5 star service! I cannot say enough about how awesome J &D Forestry Services LLC was to work with on our home project! Jeremy reached out to me right away, came the very next day and did the job at the price he quoted. Both Jeremy and Matt were professional and hard working. They did the job efficiently and left the site flawless. If you need trees removed, bushes removed or clearing out—I would contact J&D!"

"Ben and his team were top-notch. They went above and beyond the scope of the project, removing heavy brush and clearing a road to grade with the correct slope for water runoff. I will hire them again."

Land Clearing Services questions, answered by experts

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.

With proper training and experience, reading blueprints is fairly straightforward and not very difficult. If you don’t have the necessary knowledge to interpret the symbols, abbreviations, and other notations used, blueprints may not make sense. Learning to read blueprints can help you understand the construction process and keep you more involved and informed when you’re building a house.

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.

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.

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.
