Frequently Asked Questions
How much does excavation or land clearing cost in Lancaster?
Cost depends on your property size, existing conditions, and the scope of work — clearing, grading, septic, or demolition. We provide a detailed project assessment after seeing the site in person, not a ballpark number over the phone.
What is forestry mulching, and how is it different from traditional clearing?
Forestry mulching grinds vegetation into mulch that stays on-site, unlike traditional clearing methods that remove everything. This improves soil health and helps reduce erosion naturally across your property.
Do you help with permits for Lancaster projects?
Yes. We provide Lancaster-specific permit assistance and coordination as part of our site preparation services, so your project stays on track and compliant.
Do you work on both residential and commercial sites?
Yes. We handle residential lot preparation, commercial site development, and specialized projects like septic system installation throughout the Lancaster area.
Are you a local, family-owned company?
Yes. G. Mettley Excavating & Landscaping is a family-owned business based in Annville, PA, serving Lancaster and the surrounding Central Pennsylvania region with personalized attention on every project.
