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.
Hurricane Ian generated an estimated four million cubic yards of debris in Charlotte County alone, and while the initial emergency removal is largely complete, ongoing reconstruction and new clearing continue to produce volumes that exceed residential yard-waste collection capacity. Charlotte County's burn ban within urban service areas means professional hauling is the only compliant disposal method for most properties.
Charlotte County occupies a broad coastal plain sloping gently from pine flatwoods and dry prairie in the northeast to the tidal estuaries of Charlotte Harbor and the Peace River delta. The Peace River enters the county from the north and merges with the Myakka River before emptying into Charlotte Harbor, one of the most productive estuarine systems on Florida's Gulf coast. Eastern portions of the county feature vast expanses of palmetto prairie and cabbage palm savanna once part of the historic Babcock Ranch, while the western coastal strip includes mangrove-fringed shoreline, tidal creeks, and barrier islands. Elevations range from sea level along the harbor to roughly 30 feet on inland ridges.
Hurricane Ian made direct landfall near Punta Gorda in September 2022, and the resulting devastation generated an unprecedented demand for clearing and debris removal that persists through the rebuilding cycle. Residential lot clearing in Port Charlotte, Rotonda West, and Deep Creek serves both reconstruction and new infill construction. Babcock Ranch, Florida's first solar-powered town, continues multi-phase development requiring large-scale commercial and residential clearing in the northeast county. Agricultural clients along the Peace River need pasture restoration and fence-line maintenance on cattle operations. Hurricane Ian's Category 4 landfall devastated Charlotte County's building stock and tree canopy, creating years of clearing and rebuilding demand. Babcock Ranch, which weathered the hurricane with minimal damage thanks to its modern infrastructure, has become a national model community attracting thousands of new residents. Port Charlotte's affordable housing stock relative to Sarasota and Lee counties continues to draw transplants from higher-cost markets.

Charlotte County's mangrove protection ordinance prohibits trimming or removal without a county permit, and all work within the Charlotte Harbor Aquatic Preserve triggers Florida Department of Environmental Protection review. Gopher tortoise relocation permits are required on virtually all upland clearing projects given the prevalence of sandy soils. The county has designated Charlotte Harbor as a State and National Estuary of significance, adding layers of environmental review for projects within its watershed. Bald eagle nest buffers of 660 feet apply during nesting season from October through May, and several active nests are located in the Port Charlotte-Punta Gorda corridor.
Protected species: Charlotte County is home to Gopher tortoise, Florida scrub-jay, West Indian manatee, Eastern indigo snake, Bald eagle, Wood stork, Smalltooth sawfish, Red-cockaded woodpecker. Pre-clearing wildlife surveys may be required depending on habitat type and project scope.
Waterways & buffers: Properties near Peace River, Myakka River, Charlotte Harbor, Shell Creek, Prairie Creek, Alligator Creek, Lemon Bay, Gasparilla Sound, Tippecanoe Bay, Turtle Bay may require setback buffers and water management district permits. TreeShop works within all required buffer zones.
Soil conditions: Port Charlotte and Rotonda West sit primarily on Myakka and EauGallie fine sands, poorly drained flatwoods soils with a dark spodic horizon that perches the water table within two feet of the surface during wet season. The Peace River floodplain contains Winder and Riviera fine sands subject to prolonged inundation, while the Babcock Ranch area features better-drained Oldsmar and Smyrna fine sands on slightly elevated ridges. Coastal areas along Charlotte Harbor have Kesson and Wulfert soils associated with tidal mangrove systems.
