(Pending)
Before we arrive
Metal, wire, fencing, private utilities, and septic components have to be removed or marked before the crew rolls in. Our site-prep checklist walks through every item. If the site can't be worked safely on arrival we bill a mobilization minimum of half your daily rate (minimum $1,000) and put $500 back toward the job when you reschedule within 60 days.
Day rates run in three tiers — $2,500 standard, $4,500 difficult, $6,500 severe — set by brush density, terrain, ground conditions, and access. One-day minimum. Run your numbers.
Contract opportunities welcome — commercial, municipal, utility, and developer work.
