Prices include material. Veterans and first responders get 5% off on residential work, taken last (one discount per job). The calculator gives a range, not a bid: things like access, soft ground, tree size and what you want done with debris can move the price, so the final price comes after a free site visit.
Jobs over 10 acres, heavy dozer clearing over 5 acres, over 10,000 cubic yards of dirt, or around $150,000 and up get a free site visit instead of a calculator price.
Stormwater / erosion control is an optional add-on in the calculator. Sites disturbing 1 acre or more (or part of a larger development) may need erosion controls and a state stormwater plan. Not included unless you check the stormwater add-on. Ask us whether your site needs a stormwater plan. Some farm and ranch work may be exempt from stormwater permit rules. We’ll help you check before work starts.
