How Is Land Clearing & Site Preparation Done?
- Land Survey: If you haven't yet done it in the event of clearing to construct and property lines, look over for the latest land survey. Make sure that the site you're planning to build isn't in any way a setback from those lines. It may be beneficial to have another survey if the current survey is quite outdated. A survey of land costs anywhere between $480 to $540 for residential surveys.
- The Land Clearing Permit The county or state may look at this in a different way, but generally speaking when there is significant landscaping to be completed it is almost always likely to require clearing permits. In addition, specific dimensions of trees are considered to be protected and can't be removed, which is why these trees need to be marked. $200+
- Utilities Before the work can be done, it is necessary to verify the existence of underground utilities, particularly when grading is needed. Contact 811 to begin the process of getting the appropriate utilities to arrive on your property to determine and mark off the location of the utility and the directions. The service offered is absolutely free..
- Flood zones The first step is to check your FEMA flood maps of your property to confirm the local zoning on the land you own hasn't been altered. Zoning can be more relevant when grading work is in progress due to its ability to alter how water flows across your property.
- Clearing The homeowner may have to remove existing structures and then start clearing the brush, trees and stones from the landscape.
- stump removal Pros are able to crush or burn the stumps of trees on the site.
- Grading Grading is a process that makes the land surface even and ready for construction.
