"I had a job that was very sensitive and required an operator that was amazingly precise. It was excavating next to a building with zero tolerance for error. I also had a job that required some consultation on what could be done and how to do it. This job was a new pond. Alex easily completed BOTH jobs ON TIME!! First, he made all the work look so easy with his finesse and control over the machinery. When he completed the wall, it looked as if it was dug with a laser! The pond ended up being much harder than I thought. Terribly rocky soil, extreme heat, and lots of vegetation to remove. Again, Alex made it look easy. I was dumbfounded at the amount of material he was able to move in such a short time. The last piece was the price. The estimate seemed too low. After seeing what Alex was able to do, I knew he was undercharging for his experience and expertise. The final bill was EXACTLY what Alex told me it would be. I cannot say enough good things about how he works. Note, he does not even throw out his trash in my garbage can, he takes it home with him."

"I hired LJ construction to do snow removal on a large lot for our church. They are professional and work hard to get the job done right. They cleared our lot in a timely fashion and no one matched their price. What times I called they were there right away. I am extremely happy with the service they provide and have no hesitation recommending them. I will continue to use LJ construction moving forward."

"They service went well. I thought the pricing was reasonable and the job was well done. I had them come out while my husband was away after a snow storm. The company was pretty busy but they were able to make time for me. They cleared the sidewalk, driveway, front of the house and steps. They were very responsive and I thought it was very nice that he could fit me in."

"Healthy Way did an outstanding job at insuring that my new basement home would be as "water tight" as possible. Several companies provided proposals before I met Michael. His presentation was so meticulous and detail oriented, I knew immediately that this was the company for me. Edgar, the job foreman, had an impeccable work ethic, and made sure that everything was done expertly. Punctual, professional. Office staff were accommodating and accessible, providing quick, pleasant, and thorough follow-up for every phone call. Can't speak more highly of Healthy Way. So grateful for the services they provided, and for their accommodations every step of the way to make sure that I was more than satisfied with the work. Wouldn't have had it any other way. I am a very fussy customer, and Healthy Way exceeded my expectations. My mind is completely at ease knowing that this work could not have been done any better. Strongly recommend them."

Land Clearing Services FAQs, answered by experts

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 should always calculate real estate development costs on a case-by-case basis, so there’s no specific formula to estimate your total. You should speak with a local construction manager to see what you’ll need to do in terms of clearing and leveling the land, connecting utilities, and pulling permits for construction. A professional will be able to get you an accurate estimate for land development.

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.

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.

When considering the price of drilling a well, factor in how much you’ll save in water costs per year. The average family of four uses 100 gallons of water per person per day in the U.S. With a private water well, you can save hundreds each year.

Wells are also environmentally friendly. You don’t need to worry about drinking water treated with chemicals. Talk to at least three well pump contractors in your area. They’ll be able to tell you more about your options, give you different quotes, and discuss the biggest concerns.
