Looking at buying a 3 acre tract of land in the Livingston area that looks like it was cutover and planted pine about 5-7 years ago. Looking to have a portion cleared off and about a 1/2 acre pond dug to build a house and shop pad. Approximately how much is the usual charge for clearing land and digging a pond? Do not intend to clear cut the whole place, would like to leave trees to block block house from road and from neighbors. TIA

My buddy has a land clearing business. I would prob guess 10-15k for everything.

Depends on the land but good rule of thumb is 1000.00 an acre.

No expert, but had a guy clear our camp lot that's 300x75. It was straight over growth from Katrina with some small oaks, chicken trees, wax myrtle, just junk. Unwalkable scrub.
And what he did with a skid steer was amazing. No problem knocking down trees probably 5 inches around. There was old foundation blocks and debris from a house that was demolished durring katrina.
Once it was cleared he graded it, we added a lot of crushed concrete and hand spread bermuda seed on maybe half the lot. Bermuda actually took really well. This guy was like 600 a day and he had roughly 3 or 4 days in it. The debris pile was a little tricky tho, but that's because of how much foundation trash and bigger trees were in it. That was a full day of the few days.
