Land & Lot Clearing Services
Clearing Lots for New Builds
Pads and driveways get cleared on infill lots in Arlington or Southside.
Trees marked for protection stay behind fencing.
Camphor, Chinese Tallow & Invasive Removal
Camphor and Chinese tallow crowd fence rows, and both are invasive in Florida.
We cut low, grind the stumps and haul the stems.
Forestry Mulching & Brush Grinding
A mulching head turns brush and small trees into chips, with no hauling or burn piles.
It suits stems under about 6 inches; bigger trunks get cut and hauled.
Saw Palmetto & Overgrown Pine Lots
Old pine lots grow back thick in saw palmetto and vines.
We clear the understory and flag slash pines and oaks worth keeping.
Fence Rows & Easement Clearing
Brush along property lines hides fences and blocks drainage. We open the corridor.
Near Black Creek or Doctors Lake, we check whether the edge is regulated. We stay well back from JEA wires.
Thinning Without Clear-Cutting
We clear vines and brush and flag live oaks and magnolias worth keeping.
Keeping healthy trees also avoids replacement requirements.
How a Clearing Job Unfolds
Rule checks take more time than the saw.
1. Walk the Site
We tag what stays, then send a written scope and price.
2. Confirm Which Rules Apply
We find out whether the City, a Beach city or a county governs the parcel, and confirm with that office.
3. Call Before We Dig
We request an 811 locate and mark overhead JEA lines before equipment arrives.
4. Cut, Mulch & Grind
Trees come down in sections, brush is mulched, and stumps are ground.
5. Haul-Off & Final Walk
Debris leaves the site and we walk it with you.
