Florida undergrowth takes a property back fast. Whether you are prepping a homesite, reclaiming a back acre or opening a fence line, we clear it and leave the ground workable.
Left alone for two or three seasons, a Florida lot fills in with saw palmetto, greenbrier, cabbage palm seedlings and whatever invasives are seeding nearby, usually Brazilian pepper or Chinese tallow. By the time someone decides to do something about it you cannot walk the property line, which is normally the point at which people call us.
The first question is what the land is supposed to become, because that changes the whole scope. Clearing for a house pad, opening a pasture, extending a yard and cutting back a fence line are four different jobs, and the difference between them is mostly what stays rather than what goes.
A construction pad gets cleared and grubbed flat. A yard extension keeps the shade trees and takes the understory. Telling us the end use up front is what stops you paying to remove trees you actually wanted.
Most jurisdictions around here protect trees over a set diameter, and heritage live oaks get their own rules. Taking one out without checking is an expensive mistake and it lands on the property owner, so we flag them before we start.
Low ground that holds water, utility easements and right-of-way lines all constrain what can legally come off. Better to find the boundary on the walkthrough than halfway through the work.
Chipped on site, hauled off, or piled where you want it. Volume from a cleared acre surprises people, and it is worth deciding before rather than looking at it after.
Taking everything off a lot is the fastest option and it is rarely the best one. Mature canopy trees are the hardest thing on a property to replace, they cool the house measurably through a Florida summer, and a cleared lot with three good oaks left standing is worth more than a bare one. We would rather spend an extra hour on the walk marking what stays.
For construction work we can grub the pad properly and leave the rest of the parcel selectively thinned, so the site is buildable without stripping the whole property to sand.
Not on the list? We cover eighteen counties, Jacksonville down to Melbourne and west past Ocala. This is a sample rather than a boundary.

“I have been a loyal customer from this companies inception and have recommended their ‘Elite’ service to friends over the years. Their pricing in my opinion is fair. Damien has been very respectful and his crew has impressed me time and again not only with the service they provide, but the clean-up as well. I will continue to call and recommend them for future service.”
Every review we have is public. Read them before you call anyone.
Read on GoogleOften, yes. Tree removal above a set diameter is permitted in most cities and counties here, and some jurisdictions require a separate land clearing or vegetation removal permit regardless of tree size. We will tell you what we are seeing on the walkthrough, and the jurisdiction confirms it.
Yes. Acreage work is scoped on the property rather than over the phone, because density, slope, wet ground and access change it completely.
Depends on the end use. For a yard or pasture we grind them below grade. For a construction pad they get grubbed out entirely, because nobody wants a slab over decaying wood.
That is normal and we encourage it. Walk the property with us and mark what stays. Anything you are unsure about, we will give you an opinion on the tree's condition before you decide.
Usually not. Open burning needs authorization and the conditions to be right, so the default is chipping and hauling.
Yes, fully licensed and insured with liability and workers compensation coverage. We will hand you the certificate before work begins if you ask for it.
Yes, and there is no obligation to book. We come out, walk the property, and give you a fixed price in writing that does not change on the day of the job.
Some trees have to come down. We take them down in controlled sections so nothing lands where it should not, and every piece of it leaves with us.
See detailsMost tree problems in Florida start as a trimming problem. Limbs get heavy, the canopy gets dense, and the next storm turns that weight into a hazard over your roof.
See detailsA leftover stump is a tripping hazard, a mower obstacle and an open invitation to termites and fungus. Grinding takes it below grade so the ground is usable again.
