Site Clearing-- Open Ground

Construction ITEM DESCRIPTION

Construction unit cost for site clearing on an open lot with minimal woody vegetation.

Unit Size

Square foot.

Labor Costs

We figure about 200 square feet per hour for an "average" open site. This might include mowing, some trash removal, and grubbing out some large weeds or occasional small woody plants. 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 landscaping projects done by Turtle Creek Construction. For large sites or with more equipment you could probably reduce the labor cost significantly.
