"We were referred to Spencer’s Tree Care by our contractor, and we’re very glad we hired them. Jack, the owner, immediately spotted several dead trees on the steep slope behind our house while visiting for another job. His expertise likely prevented a future safety issue before it became a bigger problem. His crew was professional, efficient, and highly skilled. They safely removed the dead trees without needing a crane—a challenging job given the location—and also cleared away a large amount of fallen branches and brush. We highly recommend Spencer’s Tree Care for their knowledge, professionalism, and quality of work."

"We needed about an acre of woods cleared next to our house. I have worked with many contractors in the past, so I was immediately impressed when I got a call from MJS Excavation the same day I contacted them through Home Advisor. By the next morning, Jay came to our house to put together a quote. I really liked that he looked over the area to find a way in that would minimize damage to the existing yard. The price quoted was fair. He started work almost immediately and had the job done within 3 days. He spoke to us daily and was responsive to every request we made and completed the job to our satisfaction. We now have a beautiful lawn where dead trees and tangled brush once was. We could not be happier with MJS and would hire them again without hesitation."

Land Clearing Services questions, answered by experts

You can’t build on undeveloped land without preparing it for construction, which involves running utilities to the site or accounting for private utilities like wells and septic systems and grading and compacting the soil for safe construction. Once you prepare the land, you can build on it as long as the project abides by local zoning regulations.

With proper training and experience, reading blueprints is fairly straightforward and not very difficult. If you don’t have the necessary knowledge to interpret the symbols, abbreviations, and other notations used, blueprints may not make sense. Learning to read blueprints can help you understand the construction process and keep you more involved and informed when you’re building a house.

You will find a collection of licensed land surveyors in your area. Your real estate agent or construction manager may also be able to recommend a trusted professional. When speaking with prospective pros in your area, ask the land surveyor if they are licensed in the state, have liability insurance, and can quote you a fee before starting.

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.

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.
