Or more.

Likely more


Depends on the size/quantity of the trees, my pull a number from my rearend guess is $6,000-10,000 for a construction entrance and clearing
That’ll depend if debris can be burned on site or hauled off.

SouthBama if possible you should try to keep a few big trees that won’t damage the house and can be worked around.
For the trees that come down if they’re anything good or useful try to incorporate them into the home build.

We’re having a fire place mantle made from a red oak that was cut down at our house

I think youre pretty close. I asked a friend of mine who does excavating, one acre with large trees in Oneonta city limits $10k. However, i know of a lady who got 10 acres cleared for $7k. It really all depends on the size and amount of trees and the terrain. Personally, i wouldnt clear an acre of small trees, pile and burn, for $3000.
