Site Clearing-- Light Brush

Construction ITEM DESCRIPTION

Construction unit cost for site clearing on a lot with extensive shrubs, brush and small woody vegetation.

Unit Size

Square foot.

Labor Costs

We figure about 70 square feet per hour for an "average" brushy site. This might include cutting, gathering and bundling or burning brushy vegetation, grubbing out a few small trees, some trash removal, and mowing. The cost is based on hand labor on a fairly small area.(less than 2000 sq feet)

Material Costs

None included.

Suggested Quantity

Lot area.

Source of Construction Pricing

A rough estimate based on job cost data for a few projects done by Turtle Creek Construction.

This price is probably most applicable for landscaping projects or building additions in suburban areas. For large sites or with more equipment you could probably reduce the labor cost significantly.
