Brevard County runs 72 miles along Florida's central Atlantic coast, bounded by the Indian River Lagoon to the west of its barrier island and the St. Johns River marshes to its western edge. TreeShop LLC provides professional land clearing, forestry mulching, and site preparation across Brevard County — serving Titusville, Melbourne, Palm Bay, Cocoa, Merritt Island, and 9 more communities.
The Space Coast's aerospace-driven economic boom is generating unprecedented demand for both commercial and residential clearing, particularly in the Viera and West Melbourne planned development corridors. Titusville and Mims in northern Brevard are experiencing a construction resurgence tied to SpaceX and Blue Origin operations at Kennedy Space Center and Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. Palm Bay's western expansion into former ranchland requires large-scale clearing of flatwoods and palmetto for new subdivisions. Waterfront property owners along the Indian River Lagoon need selective clearing and shoreline restoration that balances view enhancement with lagoon buffer requirements.
Forestry mulcher heads grind trees, brush, and woody vegetation up to 8 inches in diameter. Mulch stays on-site as ground cover — no hauling, no burning.
Full-scale clearing with excavators and track loaders. Standard full loadout at $5,000/day, finish and detail work at $2,875/day. Complete site preparation for construction or development.
High-capacity rotary mowing for overgrown fields, pastures, and grassy lots. Ideal for tall grass, weeds, and light brush that doesn't require forestry mulching equipment.
Below-grade stump removal for build-ready or landscape-ready sites. $450 minimum per visit. Most stumps take 15-30 minutes depending on size and root structure.
Quarterly to annual regrowth control for previously cleared properties. Scheduled return visits with forestry mulching or mowing equipment to protect your clearing investment.
Targeted removal of Brazilian pepper, melaleuca, Australian pine, and other invasive vegetation. Selective clearing that preserves desirable native trees and landscape.
Restore overgrown pasture and agricultural land to productive use. Mulch the overgrowth, grind stumps at grade, and leave a surface ready for seeding or fencing.
Site grading, drainage swales, retention areas, foundation prep, driveway cuts, and earth moving. Proper water management for Florida's flat terrain and high water table.
Complete removal of land clearing debris through hauling, on-site burning, chipping, or grinding. We handle the full lifecycle — clear the land, then clean it up.
Brevard County runs 72 miles along Florida's central Atlantic coast, bounded by the Indian River Lagoon to the west of its barrier island and the St. Johns River marshes to its western edge. The mainland consists of a narrow coastal ridge with sand pine scrub and oak hammock, dropping into broad expanses of wet flatwoods and freshwater marsh that characterize the interior. Merritt Island and the northern barrier beaches sit on relict dune formations with well-drained sandy soils, while the western reaches of Palm Bay and Malabar grade into poorly drained St. Johns floodplain. The county's elongated shape creates distinct ecological zones that vary dramatically from the salt marsh estuary to the interior pine savanna.
Brevard County's unemployment rate has consistently stayed below state and national averages since 2020, driven by aerospace employers including SpaceX, L3Harris, Northrop Grumman, and Blue Origin. The county issued over 6,000 residential building permits in 2023, concentrated in the Viera DRI and western Palm Bay growth corridors.
Kennedy Space Center and the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge encompass over 140,000 acres in northern Brevard, creating a vast conservation buffer that restricts development and harbors federally listed species including the Florida scrub-jay, southeastern beach mouse, and Atlantic loggerhead turtle. The Indian River Lagoon—one of the most biodiverse estuaries in North America—is under active restoration, and Brevard County imposes a 50-foot upland buffer on any clearing adjacent to the lagoon or its tributaries. Scrub-jay habitat surveys are required on all sandy upland parcels within mapped consultation areas before clearing permits are issued. Manatee protection zones in the Banana River and Indian River limit dock construction and shoreline disturbance timing.
Soil: The coastal ridge in Brevard features Paola and Palm Beach fine sands with excessively drained profiles that support sand pine scrub. Interior flatwoods are dominated by Eau Gallie and Oldsmar fine sands with characteristic spodic horizons that produce seasonal high water tables within 12 inches of the surface. Western Brevard near the St. Johns contains Floridana and Riviera loamy sands that transition to Samsula muck in the river floodplain.

Brevard County's natural resource management office requires vegetation clearing permits for any property within the county's mapped environmental overlay zones, which cover large portions of the coastal ridge and lagoon buffer areas. Work on barrier island properties east of the CCCL requires a Florida DEP Coastal Construction Permit, and gopher tortoise relocation permits from FWC must be secured prior to any ground disturbance on occupied sites. St. Johns River Water Management District permits are needed for projects impacting wetlands or altering surface water drainage patterns.
