Central Florida Excavation & Site Clearing; How Much Will It Cost?

Determining how much your Central Florida excavation or site clearing project will cost can be a challenge. There are a number of factors that determine the budget, grade, tree coverage, and location, to name a few. 

Working with an experienced commercial excavation service is a must in our environment. They will be knowledgeable in the terrain, familiar with permits, regulations and laws regarding excavation. 

Sitework: A crucial step in any commercial or residential project is the initial excavation and site work. Typically it includes:

Grading: Creating a property that is level where the building will reside. 

Excavation: Removing rock and soil, dirt hauling, creating wall shaft, tunnel, trench, or foundation.

Backfill: Replacing soil that was removed with stable soil. 

Land clearing and tree removal:  Rocks, trees, stumps, and debris must be removed. This also includes the entire root systems.

Pluming and utilities: Properly digging lines for all the necessary utilities.

Roads and driveway installation: Properly installed sub-drainage is responsible for strong pavement, lasting well into the future. To preserve the subgrade drainage pipes should be installed with filters. This allows a consistent flow of water and contain small particles of soil within the subgrade. Proper materials are also important to ensure potholes don’t happen in the future, or any sinking or shifting in the foundation. 

The cost of site clearing and site clearing

There is no doubt, cutting corners at this stage will end up costing you more in the end. It is also important to work with an insured and licensed contractor.

Guidelines for choosing a professional site clearing service

Hire a company who can clear the site, perform the necessary excavation, backfill, erosion control, and dig trenches for utilities. Using just one company can expedite the process and cut costs.

Work with an experienced company. They will understand the local environmental challenges in Central Florida, which will definitely save on your bottom line.

Ask your contractor if they charge extra for weekend or holiday work. This can quickly add to the budget.

Does the company own their own equipment and have the right equipment to get the job done right? If not, this can impose significant cost.

Central Florida Excavation; Land Clearing & Grubbing

First step for developing land for a construction project 

To turn land into a suitable construction site, it first must be cleared and grubbed. Most properties here in Central Florida have previously buildings, debris, and have overgrown brush and trees. All this needs to be properly removed for a successful project. 

What is Land Clearing?

Before construction begins, the land must be properly prepared by removing any debris. This includes any vegetation, trees, and brush, so the land can be graded.

Excavation may be necessary for extensive leveling or for the removal of large trees. 

If a property has an existing building or structure, clearing them will be necessary.

This is the first step to have a final site ready for new construction.

What is Land Grubbing?

After a property has been cleared of vegetation, brush and trees, any remaining debris, rocks, logs, and roots will need to be removed, this is land grubbing. 

Land grubbing must take place before site grading can begin. 

How is All Of This Done?

Depending on the site, type of materials, and how much leveling needs to be done, there are a number of equipment and strategies that can be utilized.

The location of utility lines must be confirmed before excavation begins. Bulldozers can be used to push over smaller trees, others may need to be cut down. A bush hog can be used to remove surface vegetation. Then rocks, trees, brush, and debris are all removed. Heavy equipment is used to grind stumps down and dig up roots, then everything is removed.
