"Jarred and his crew tore down and rebuilt a deck 3 times the original size. Our house is a 2-story house that sets on a hill, which meant the crew had to carry all of their equipment, lumber, decking materials, and tools down 13 steps to reach the work area. It was a challenging project from the start. Jarred and his crew were friendly, respectful, and easy to work with throughout the project. Jarred listened to what we wanted and was responsive whenever we had questions or concerns. One thing that stood out was their willingness to tackle a difficult worksite without complaint and delivered a finished product that looks great and functions exactly as we needed it to. We are satisfied with the final result and are enjoying our new deck. Thank you Jarred and crew, for the effort you put into this project."

"Kevin with Eagle Land Transformations does excellent work! What sets Kevin apart, you may ask? Several Items: He listened to our wants and needs. He explained his quote that met our qualifications while offering helpful suggestions. In offering those suggestions he did not change the scope of the project or up-sale. He was responsive and showed up on site prepared to do the job on the agreed upon date. He completed on the agreed upon date. His estimate was off on the amount of man hours to complete the project. He estimated 3 hours it took him closer to 9 hours to complete. I offered to pay him for the extra hours and he wouldn't accept it. We paid what was on the quote. We got several quotes on this project from others, his estimate beat others by a mile. Integrity and diligence matters in my book, he had an abundance of both."

Land Clearing Services FAQs, 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.

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.

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.

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.

Land survey reports have a boatload of information relevant to several scenarios. Here are the types of information contained with a survey, though it depends on your chosen type of land survey. Exact boundaries and dimensions of a given property General topography, including both natural and artificial landmarks Location of utility fixtures, like water mains Confirmation of any easements or encroachments on a piece of property Assessment of land elevation to buy flood insurance Updated information to add to a pre-existing property map
