"Absolutely Outstanding Service! I hired Lane to handle trucking and dirt work to prep my yard for landscaping, and he went above and beyond in every way. From start to finish, his professionalism, efficiency, and attention to detail was impressive. He didn?t just get the job done?he made sure it was done right. The crew was punctual, courteous, and clearly experienced. They tackled tough terrain, ensured proper grading, and even cleaned up better than expected. What really stood out was how proactive they were? offering helpful suggestions and making improvements I had not even thought of. It is rare these days to find a company that takes this much pride in their work. I am beyond pleased with the results and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone needing dirt work or site prep. Thanks again for exceeding expectations!"

"Easton was great to work with and we would highly recommend him! He built our road and a campsite area next to our house, and then we hired him again to do our pad for our barn and an arena. He was always on time, professional, and did work that has held up well. We will definitely hire him again if we need another project, especially because his prices were great. 10/10 recommend"

"Several times we asked Peter if he had a Superman outfit hidden under his work attire. For every problem we encountered during the bathroom remodel, Peter had a solution. Every time we asked "Can we do this?" he answered "We can do whatever you want." He was so easy-going and always in a good mood. He turned a dated bathroom into a 5-star hotel experience. Peter did such a good job for us that we are planning to use his services again for a new deck. Thanks to Peter and his amazing wife/manager Piper!"

"Grubbed old dying trees and graded native top soil in a borrow pit area that was used fill in a meadow on the property that has eroded pretty seriously over the passed few years and graded out the top soil so I could have native trees and grass planted. Excavated a pond and placed excess rocks/bolders and shrubs in the pond to build a natural habitat. Turned out better then I could’ve ever imagined and 100% recommend this company for any future improvements you are considering."

The small lines on the tape measure either indicate inches, fractions of an inch, or centimeters and millimeters. On the imperial unit side (aka the inches side), the longest lines indicate inches, followed by the next shortest lines that indicate a half-inch, and then the quarter, eighth, and sixteenth-inch. On the metric side, the lines break down meters, centimeters, and millimeters.

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.

Yes, new home construction will always require building permits, no matter where you live. In most cases, you’ll need a general construction permit, along with plumbing and electrical permits for the utility lines in your home. Depending on where you live, you’ll likely find that you also need permits for things like connection to a sewage system or installing exterior components, like decks, driveways, patios, and curb cutouts. Leave navigating the permits required for new home construction to a professional to ensure your home is built legally and safely.

To hire a land surveyor, you need to start by searching online for reputable professionals in your area. Here are a few steps to take when making a shortlist:

  • Browse land surveyor service website

  • Check credentials

  • Read customer reviews

  • Find their contact information

  • Call or email to inquire about more information

  • Ask how far they travel, if you’re some distance away

  • Find out how they charge for their services

  • Ask about schedule and turnaround times

  • Repeat these steps for one to two other services and compare pricing

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.
