Questions, answered straight

The things homeowners and builders ask us most before breaking ground.

How much does excavation or land clearing cost in Wilmington?

Most residential land clearing in our area runs between $2,500 and $6,500 per acre depending on tree density, stump removal and how debris is disposed of. Foundation excavation is typically quoted per job after a site visit. Our online calculator gives you a realistic range in about two minutes.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes. PXG Siteworks is a fully licensed NC general contractor carrying general liability and workers' compensation coverage. We provide certificates of insurance to homeowners, builders and lenders on request.

What areas do you serve?

We work throughout Southeastern North Carolina — New Hanover, Pender, Brunswick and Onslow counties — including Wilmington, Hampstead, Sneads Ferry, Leland, Wrightsville Beach and Southport.

How soon can you start?

Typical lead time is one to three weeks depending on season and scope. Emergency drainage and storm cleanup work is often scheduled within a few days.

Do I need permits for clearing or grading?

It depends on the jurisdiction, acreage disturbed and whether wetlands or buffers are involved. We review the requirements with you up front and handle erosion-control and demolition permitting as part of our scope.

Can you save specific trees on my lot?

Absolutely. Selective clearing is one of the most common requests we get. We flag save-trees with you before work starts and install protection fencing at the drip line.

What happens to the debris and stumps?

Depending on your preference and the site, material is either mulched on site, burned under permit, or hauled off to a licensed disposal facility. We price all three options so you can choose.

Do you offer free estimates?

Yes — every estimate is free and there is no obligation. Most quotes are delivered within 24 to 48 hours of the site visit.

Still have a question?

Free estimates, straight answers and a crew that shows up when it says it will.
