Price

What drives the cost of bulldozer operation in Dearborn Heights

  • Dozer size and whether GPS or laser grade control is used
  • Area to be graded and how much soil must move
  • Trucking distance and any minimum booking
  • Stumps, brush, rock or debris in the soil
  • Soil moisture and weather delays
  • Imported fill or topsoil and trucking to deliver it
  • Erosion control measures the site requires
  • The age of the home: the typical Dearborn Heights home was built around 1958, so older materials, lead-safe rules and hidden damage can add time

Before you hire in Dearborn Heights

Lead-safe work rules apply to most homes

The typical home in Dearborn Heights was built around 1958. Painting, window, siding and remodeling work that disturbs paint in homes built before 1978 must follow the EPA lead-safe (RRP) rule. Ask any contractor for their RRP certification before work starts.

Older plumbing and sewer lines

61% of homes here were built before 1960, when cast iron drains, clay sewer laterals and galvanized supply pipe were standard. A sewer camera inspection before buying or remodeling is cheap insurance.

Permits: check with the Dearborn Heights building department before work starts.

It can push over brush and small trees and pull stumps. Large trees are usually cut first, and trees you want to keep should be fenced off beyond the drip line.
Often. Disturbing one acre or more, or working within 500 feet of a lake or stream, generally requires a soil erosion permit, and local rules may apply to smaller jobs. Ask the county or city before starting.
