"I recently purchased a brand new home in Hollister that has a really large unfinished yard. I needed someone that could do some leveling, spread a huge amount of pea gravel in the backyard for my dogs and also clean up a solid limestone rock wall that was still existing from the build out. He also dug out and buried gutter lines out for me on a massive slope that the builder did not attend to adequately. This is a stand alone, family owned business and the owner is highly dependable, communicative, knowledgeable, professional and incredibly affordable. He takes great pride in his work and goes above and beyond to make sure he gets the job done correctly. I would recommend him for any major or minor overhaul landscaping project that needs big equipment to get the job done. I’ll definitely be using him again this fall to help me tackle the front yard."

"Ryan did amazing work. He cleared and prepared an area for me to put a shipping container on and expanded space surrounding my workshop for other things I plan to place around it. He also added fines to a loose gravel driveway. It is very steep and practically required 4x4 to get up it. Now any vehicle can drive it with ease. Ryan is knowledgeable, professional, and a pleasure to work with."

"We bought a house recently. The inspection report called for installation of an expansion tank and lengthened drip leg on the HW heater. Jamison Plumbing had installed the new HW tank several months before for the original home owner. Jason called the City of Liberty to determine the exact code requirements. He called back and agreed to the additional work at no charge. He was able to make the changes in a timely manner. His crew called to say they would be later than planned because of an unexpected delay at the preceding job site. We appreciated his willingness to finish the installation according to code and to cover the additional materials and time. It was a great way to be welcomed into a new community.

"Chad went above and beyond to make our project go smoothly! He and his crew completely revitalized our property and gave us so much more usable, functional, and private space. Our yard was cleared, cleaned up, and fence constructed in great time, despite living in the Ozarks and having to battle mature trees and digging through a hefty amount of rock. Chad and his crew are great to have on any project!"

Land Clearing Services FAQs, answered by experts

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.

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.

Costs vary, but you can expect to spend between $1,000 and $4,000 to prepare land for a mobile home or before you build a house. You’ll need to clear enough land for the foundation, which may require leveling or grading, as well as removing trees, stumps, and plants. Don’t forget to plan for permits and fees and the installation of a gas line, water line, and sewer main.

If you can’t find any records online, you’ll need to contact your county clerk’s office to do further research. They should have property records on file, or can at least point you in the right direction of who to contact. You can also speak with your neighbors about when their houses were built because they were likely built around the same time.

A boundary survey measures the boundary lines of the property, only the length of each property line and their locations. A land survey includes a more in-depth measurement of the property, including the heights and depths of the terrain measured by a topographic survey. A boundary survey is typically the most cost-effective method for marking and measuring property lines.
