What is clearing and grading?
The clearing and grading process is essential to any new site to ensure your bases are level from the start. Grading in excavation is the work of ensuring a level base, or a specified slope on a plot of land. Land clearing is the work of removing stones, trees, stumps, and other obstructions to the site.
The clearing and grading process

Our land clearing process consists of clearing the site of trees, shrubs, debris, rocks, and any other obstacles above the ground, then we haul them off the site so we may begin grading.

Grading is the act of leveling or smoothing any particular soil base in preparation for construction projects, landscaping, or road building. We also grade the land around the house, remove large rocks and smooth the soil.

The goal of clearing and grading the land is to prepare for further development such as connecting roads, connecting utilities, digging a pool, a basement, foundation, or to prepare the way for demolition of current structures.

What does grading land cost?

Generally, the cost of grading per square foot is $5 to $10 per square foot. This can vary depending on the state of the site.
  • Size of the land
  • Date of recent land survey
  • Amount and density of rocks and boulders
What is the cost of clearing land?
The cost for clearing land can range anywhere between $733 for lightly forested areas to upwards of $6000 per acre for heavily wooded areas. There are a few more factors to consider when looking into the cost of clearing a plot of land.
  • Amount and density of trees
  • Size of the plot
  • Amount of cleanup
  • Permits
These factors will help to determine what heavy machinery is needed to complete the job and allow for the estimation of man hours required.
