Anchorage Site Prep FAQs

  • What does residential site prep cost in Anchorage?

    A typical 1/3 to 1/2 acre residential lot lands $8,000–$25,000 to pad-ready. Wooded acreage runs $12,000–$45,000 per acre depending on tree size, slope, and haul distance. Every quote is written and itemized line by line.

  • Do I need an MSD permit for site prep in Jefferson County?

    Yes if you disturb more than 1 acre — that triggers an MSD stormwater permit and an erosion-control plan. Smaller lots still need silt fence and a construction entrance under Louisville Metro code. We handle MSD coordination on every job that needs it.

  • How long does site prep take on a Anchorage lot?

    Flat 1/3 acre infill lots run 3–5 working days. Sloped half-acre lots in Prospect or Anchorage are 1–2 weeks. Wooded acreage with significant clearing and cut/fill stretches 2–4 weeks. Wet spring weather on Jefferson County clay is the most common cause of slipped schedules.

  • Do you handle commercial pads as well as residential?

    Both. Most of our calendar is residential, but we bid commercial pads up to about 5 acres — outlots, restaurants, small retail, light industrial flex, self-storage. Send us the civil set and we'll return a hard-number bid with a Gantt-style schedule.

  • Can you bundle demolition with site prep on the same contract?

    Yes — and you should. Bundling demo with site prep and the new building pad means one mobilization, one permit cycle, and the dirt work doesn't get redone. We quote it as a single fixed-price contract.
