"Highly recommend Down & Dirty Land Clearing LLC for land clearing! Honest, hardworking, and efficient. He showed up with the equipment and left with the trees — exactly how it should be. Our property looks amazing and the whole process was smooth from start to finish. Bonus points for powering through the job fueled by what looked like a gallon of sweet tea — clearly part of the secret to getting it done right. 😄 If you need brush, trees, or overgrowth gone, D&D are your people. We’ll absolutely use him again! 🚜🌳"

"It wasn't an option but the actual work performed was land clearing. Ryan was reliable and trustworthy. I had to be gone through a fair bit of the work and it was a relief to know that I could give him instructions and trust that it was being done well while I was away. The project turned out great and Ryan did good work throughout and did what he said he would do."

"We hired Smith’s Land Development to regrade the entrance to our commercial storage facility and address drainage problems. Jesse, the owner, performed the work himself and did an outstanding job. He was knowledgeable, straightforward, and completed the project as agreed. The grading and drainage improvements have made a noticeable difference in both functionality and appearance. High-quality work and professional service. Would definitely recommend."

"This is the guy to use!! Our recent house purchase in Ozark, MO had water draining into it due to years of neglect and bad landsaping. Chad came in, and not only fixed the issue so water no longer enters the house, but he went above and beyond. He cleared out/pulled up a HUGE (and stubborn) tree stump, and cleared out unsightly fence posts that were left behind by the former owner. He made this such a smooth, stress free process. If you haven't called him yet, you need to! He is worth it!!!"

Land Clearing Services questions, 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.

Land surveys are worth it in several scenarios including selling your home, building an addition, constructing a fence, or making major changes to your landscape. A professional land survey can help you avoid legal issues with your neighbors and confirm the value of your property. In many cases, you may be required to order a land survey to receive a construction permit or mortgage loan.

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.

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.

If you’re planning to dig on your property, you’ll need to check for underground utility lines. Call the national call-before-you-dig 811 number. Once connected to an operator, you can schedule a site visit to mark underground lines. This way, you won’t accidentally dig into pipes and can cause major (read: costly) issues.
