"After dealing with numerous tree removal services who failed to keep appointments, i finally contacted Spence’s who promptly responded, removed the tree in a professional manner. The prices were competitive and the employees were professional and competent. The tree was removed expeditiously and the grounds cleaned well. I highly recommend them."

"After the pandemic my entire backyard looked like a junkyard..and I had continued to amass more junk as I failed to deal with it. Finally, I had enough and called HVH to take care of it. They did an incredible, timely, cleanup job! Now I can finally have friends over for backyard BBQs again!"

"My experience with MJS Excavation was extremely positive from receiving the quote at the start of the project all the way through to completion of the project. I had Jason build a large retaining wall on my property and he took my vision and enhanced it even more than I could have imagined - the finished wall exceeded my expectations. Before the start of the project I was having some difficulty visualizing certain aspects of the wall and Jason came over not once, but twice, to discuss with me to ensure we were on the same page and that I understood what his plans were. Then once the project started, Jason was hard working and open with communication if anything came up. He came up with ideas on how to enhance the project and priced them out so I could make an educated decision. Jason is so nice and friendly and his work speaks for itself through his craftsmanship and skill. In fact, some of my neighbors were so impressed that he ended up doing work for some of them after he completed my project! When he finished everything up, he cleaned the space and resodded the lawn that was affected. The final price ended up almost exactly on target with the estimate quote he provided at the beginning – something that I have not had a positive experience with other contractors in the past. I really cannot recommend Jason enough – he is hardworking, honest, skilled, and a pleasure to work with. If you are considering him for a project – go for it, you will not be disappointed!"

Land Clearing Services questions, answered by experts

Measure from zero on a measuring tape by placing the metal hook right up against the edge of what you need to measure. You can also latch the hook onto an open edge—of, say, a table—to accurately measure as well. If you begin at the 1-inch mark, you'll need to subtract an inch from your total.

Surveys completed by licensed surveyors can be recorded with a local surveying records office, and in most cases, they will be. Filing survey reports categorize them as legal documents, and they can be used whenever legal documentation of your property’s boundaries is needed. While you’re not required to file survey documents, it’s a good idea to do so. 

Before property transactions or major improvements to ensure accuracy.

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.

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.
