Lot clearing is for the single lot in town that has gotten out of hand. Maybe it sat empty and filled in with brush and young trees. Maybe a house came down, and the lot still holds stumps and old roots. You want the lot open and usable again, and that is the job we do.
Hollingsworth and Son Construction clears lots across Fayetteville, Raeford and the surrounding counties. An excavator takes the trees down and pulls the stumps, and a dozer rough-levels the ground. Tracts of an acre and up are a land clearing job. Call or text (910) 527-1108 to set up a look at your lot.
Tell us about the building, lot or land and where it is. We look at the job and put the quote in writing.
Every job starts with a look at the lot. We check how thick the growth is and how many stumps the lot holds. We also note what sits close to the work, like a fence or the house next door. Then we put the quote in writing, with the work spelled out.
Pulling stumps and grading move dirt, and North Carolina law counts that as excavation. The law calls for notice to NC 811 at least three full working days before the work starts. The 811 ticket gets the public utility lines marked. A private line locator finds private lines, like a sprinkler system or a propane line to the house.
The excavator, the machine many people call a track hoe, takes the trees down and pulls the stumps. The dozer pushes the brush into piles and rough-levels the ground. The written quote says where the cleared material goes. It can be hauled off with our debris removal work or piled on the lot.
A lot nobody keeps up fills in with weeds and saplings. Vines climb the fences, and limbs reach over the yard next door. The longer it sits, the more there is to clear.
Inside city limits, Fayetteville's Code Enforcement Division treats overgrown yards as a nuisance. It sends the property owner a notice that gives time to comply. In most cases, the city says, failure to comply brings civil penalties. Its page adds that overgrown vacant properties may be cut and cleaned.
Got a notice on a lot you own? Call or text (910) 527-1108 and tell us the date on it. Lot clearing takes the lot back to open ground, and the quote comes in writing first.
A teardown can leave trees and stumps standing around the spot where the house stood. When our house demolition work is done, we can clear the rest of the lot too. Then the whole lot is open for whatever comes next.
A building lot needs to be cleared and rough-leveled before a build. We take out the trees and stumps, and the dozer evens out the ground. That rough-leveling is dozer work, and it sets the lot up for your builder's next step.
Before clearing starts, know where your lot lines run. A recent survey or the corner markers show the edges of the lot. Then the clearing stays on your side of the line.
