Grading should be done by experts when the job is extensive. It is the process of adjusting the elevation and slope of land around a home or commercial property. When construction is imminent, grading must first take place to provide a solid foundation for a structure. Grading, for existing buildings, can also be applied to help improve drainage and to improve the propertys appearance.

For successful grading projects, professionals like earthwork contractors and engineers may be called in to complete the challenging task. Land will be inspected to examine existing elevations and to evaluate any soil or moisture problems. A primary concern for all grading projects is to make sure there is a proper run-off to control drainage water. Without the proper drainage, storm waters can accumulate and damage a buildings foundation, which can lead to serious safety issues. Excess water can also lead impede the growth of healthy plants.

It's hard to say from the picture but that field look like it's timothy and alfalfa. There is value to that as hay. That's where the money is to be made.

If that's the case here is how I would quote it.

My Costs @ my billing rate for a 50hp Utility tractor & OperatorCutting25 Acres @ 3.0 Acres per Hour8.33 Hours X $75/Hour = $624.75(Cutting with a Sickle then a quick pass with a BushHog after Bailing)

Bailing25 Acres @ 1.5 Acres per hour16.66 Hours X $75/Hour = $1249.50

Loading6 hours @ $75/hour = $450

Hauling $300

Costs $2624.25Quote to customer$2624.25 X 1.5 = $3936.38

Cost to Customer $157.45 Per AcreThe key to making money on this is YOU keep the hayA conservative estimate is 2tons of Hay per Acre.Hay Yield 50 Tons50 Tons = 100 Large round bales @ $85/Bale (Current price here for mixed forage around here) = $8500 PROFIT !

Profit for the jobWhen factoring in Labour & Equipment costs I am making $26/hour for the operations.

30.99 hours @ $26/hour = $805.74 (and this is paying a operator $22 a hour) If I'm doing it myself I'm making $48 /HourValue of Hay $8500

Total Profit for the job $9305.74

When pricing a job keep in mind all sources of possible revenue.

I think the prices you are seeing of $3000-$5000 a acre have to be for clearing heavily forested area. Even that seems high, Around here you can get heavy bush cleared for about $700 a Acre.

Maybe I should move down that way.

2019 Bobcat T595 + Diamond 72" Rotary Mower | Land Clearing

Land Clearing Cost

The average cost to clear land to build a house is between $1,150 and $3,680. Land clearing cost per acre ranges from $1,500 to $3,000 on lightly wooded lots and between $3,790 to $6,710 for a heavily wooded area. Depending on why you need the land cleared, what needs to be removed, and the acreage of the land, you could see prices as low as $500 for a quarter-acre and as high as $7,000 for a full acre lot.

The price to clear land will vary depending on the size of the lot, the purpose of the land preparation, and the density of trees, brush, rocks, and stumps that need to cleared. While you could do the work yourself, this price guide looks at getting the land clearing done professionally.

The costs to clear land will vary based on how heavily the acreage is wooded with brush, trees, stumps, and rocks. Lot clearing costs around $950 on a quarter-acre for light clearing on flat ground without rocks. To clear a full acre of flat, light brush, without grading or rock removal costs about $3,790. For a heavily forested lot the prices to clear the trees can be $7,000 or more.

Most companies will give you a quote on the final cost to clear your land based on a quarter acre- or full acre price.

The average cost to prepare land for building or house on a quarter-acre lot is between $950 and $1,680 depending on the level of brush, trees, and how much grading will be required. Here are average lot clearing prices:

The price to clear light to medium underbrush is between $3,790 and $4,360 per acre, which is around 350 to 420 cubic yards of debris to be removed. For a heavily forested area with lots of trees and stumps, expect to pay between $4,820 and $6,710.

Return to Top

Typically, land clearing is charged by the acre or quarter-acre, but in some cases, the average price ranges between $1 to $2 per square foot for complete land clearing and site preparation.

Clearing land to build a house costs between $1,150 and $3,680 on average. A smaller lot that only needs one contractor and a bobcat with a shredder attached, you can expect to pay between $1,200 and $1,500, depending on the density of the brush, grass, and rock.

Clearing brush is less expensive than trees and costs between $1,254 and $1,755 per acre on average. In some cases where the brush is very light and thin, clearing the overgrowth could cost as little as $200 per acre.

Clearing a single tree will cost between $200 and $400 on average. Tree removal costs around $70 to $200 if the tree has fallen down already. Tree clearing per acre ranges from $1,500 to $3,000 on lightly wooded lots and between $3,790 to $6,710 for a heavily forested acreage.

The total cost of tree stump grinding will depend on the number of stumps, the tree stumps diameters, access to the stump(s), the depth of the grinding, the root system, and mulch removal. On average, you can expect to spend $160 for first stump and $40 per additional stump to be removed.

Clearing rocks from land typically costs $5.53$9.15 per linear foot depending on the hardness of the soil and rock. Rock drilling requires the use of a pneumatic truck-mounted wagon drill which requires a $2,500 minimum job charge.

Land excavation is essential when building a structure that requires a foundation, such as a garage or home. Also, it is used to turn a wooded plot into farmland or a garden. The average price of excavation is between $1,600 and $4,400.

Typically land grading costs $100 per cubic yard, that can go up to $200 or more depending on the terrain and level of erosion control. When you are working with land that is not entirely flat, and it needs to be leveled for use or for construction, it will need to be graded. In this phase of preparing the land, it will either be scraped and removed from the location or scraped from a higher elevation on the land, and the dirt then used to fill a lower elevation to level it out.

Nationally, land grading costs between $6,000 to $10,000 per acre. Work done in clay, shale, or soft rock will cost 10% to 25% more. To strip, stockpile on site, and then replace topsoil is an additional $9.48 per cubic yard.

This is a much cheaper option for removing individual trees and bits of brush. When clearing land that isnt going to be built on immediately, and assuming the land is as flat as you want it and doesnt need to be graded, you could have contractors come to mulch everything.

In this scenario, equipment called a forestry mulcher, masticator, or brush cutter would be brought in to shred everything and leave a carpet of mulch spread out across the ground. There are different tools required for the job which can be attached to tractors, excavators, or even bobcats, and the most common is a rotary drum with steel teeth which shreds the vegetation.

Depending on how your contractor prices the work, it can either be hourly for which you could be looking at $150 to $250 per hour, or they may charge a flat rate of $400 per acre.

The heaviest duty equipment available can take care of around 15 acres per day, but for smaller applications, it is not feasible to transport that size of equipment to a residential plotthe equipment will need to be smaller, and depending on how thick the brush is, it may take half to one day to clear an acre.

Land clearing companies sometimes pay thousands to rent the right equipment for your job plus the delivery and pickup costs of between $150 to $250, insurance at 9% of the rental rate, fuel, and qualified operators. On average, it takes around 3 to 4 hours to clear an acre of land. If you were to hire professional labor, costs would be around $130 to $250 per hour per operator.

Whether you need to clear land for farming or construction, there is a high likelihood that you will need to remove cactus plants from it, which is no easy job.

If the density of plants per acre makes the manual extraction or herbicide treatment cost prohibitive, you can go with either broadcast herbicide at $250+ per acre or prescribed burn at $1 to $10 per acre or a combination of both, as long as the size of your land and the location of the cacti will allow for it.

Land clearing and grubbinginvolves the removal of trees and brush on a piece of land. Depending on the size, location, and purpose of the land, the excavation may require professional land clearing equipment. Pushover, cut, grind and burning are three of the most used land clearing methods.

The pushover method of land clearing often involves the use of major construction equipment. The trees are pushed over and hauled off the land with the roots intact. Once the trees are moved to a central location, they are often processed for sale or ground for use as a mulching material.

The second method is cut and grind. This method begins with cutting down the trees on the piece of land. These trees are often moved to a processing location, but the stumps are left in the ground. These stumps can be ground into mulching material or pulled out of the ground using a large piece of construction machinery.

A third method involves using a controlled burn for land clearing, it can be one of the most dangerous methods. Burning involves starting a controlled fire and maintaining that fire until all trees and brush are burned to the ground. After the fires are extinguished, the land can be cleared using a bull dozer or other piece of construction equipment.

While some small plots of land may be cleared without the help of a professional, larger plots of land may be more difficult to clear without a team of specialists. This team will often be trained in the fastest and most effective methods of land clearing. They are also more likely to be trained in the local laws and regulations regarding the clearing of land.

Remember that land clearing and grubbingis the removal and disposal of all vegetation, rubbish, and surface boulders embedded in the ground. In the total preparation of the site for clear construction, land clearing also includes the removal and disposal of structures, old foundations, and abandoned underground sewers and unused structural concrete of any kind. Grubbing is the uprooting and removal of roots and stumps. Stripping is the removal and disposal of unwanted topsoil and sod.

Clearing, grubbing, and stripping are accomplished by using heavy engineering equipment. Hand-or power-felling equipment, explosives, and fire are also used. Factors that determine which method to use are: the acreage to be cleared, the type and density of vegetation, the terrains effect on the operation of equipment, the availability of equipment and personnel, and the time available for completion. For best results, a combination of methods is used in a sequence of operations.

The landowner should remember that land clearing leaves the surface layer of topsoil open to the elements and erosion. If the site is to be left for any great length of time before a project is commenced, this top layer of dirt can be preserved by planting grass in this soil. While the grass may not be needed on the entire lot, it can be easier to remove a patch of grass for development than to import new dirt, to prevent soil loss.

Tim Carter, from AskTheBuilder.com, says this:

I can think of lots of do-it-yourself projects, but I have to be honest; land clearing would be either at the bottom of the list or left off on purpose.Source

We agree with Tim.

Land clearing is not for the faint of heart.

Land clearing involves, at various points, clearing brush, cutting down and hauling away large trees, digging up rocks, filling in large holes with dirt, smoothing furrows and hills, removing shrubs and small trees, and either burning, grinding, or otherwise removing the leftover stumps.

In order to accomplish all of these tasks, you will need:

Additionally, you will need tons of free time.

When you hire a land clearing company, you get your land cleared by professionals who are licensed to operate heavy machinery, are used to the type of work involved, and who have a team ready to accomplish your project in a short amount of time.

Save yourself a lot of trouble: hire a land clearing professional.
