Full clearing in Citrus County demands operators who respect the limestone beneath every job site. Our excavator crews handle the heavy live oaks, laurel oaks, and cabbage palms that thrive on these calcium-rich soils, removing root systems that have threaded through crevices in the underlying Ocala Limestone formation. Serving Inverness, Crystal River, Homosassa, Lecanto, and 4 more communities across Citrus County County.
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.
Residential growth in communities like Citrus Springs, Beverly Hills, and along the US 19 corridor generates steady demand for cleared, build-ready lots. The challenge in Citrus County is always the rock — root balls wrap around limestone boulders, stumps anchor into rock fissures, and excavation for utilities frequently requires breaking through solid formations. Our equipment and experience match these conditions, and we factor rock into every Citrus County estimate.
Dramatic karst topography with the Tsala Apopka chain of lakes and wetlands bisecting the county. Limestone outcrops at or near the surface across most of the region, with numerous springs, sinkholes, and solution features. The western coastal margin along the Gulf of Mexico consists of low-lying salt marsh and mangrove fringe. Inland areas feature rolling uplands with sandy ridges and hammock-filled ravines. Chassahowitzka National Wildlife Refuge protects significant coastal habitat in the south.
Residential lot clearing in planned communities like Citrus Springs and Beverly Hills, commercial development along US 19 and US 41 corridors, rural homesite preparation on 2-10 acre parcels, invasive species management on spring-run properties, clearing overgrown vacant lots in established subdivisions, and vegetation management for ecotourism and recreational properties near the springs. Retiree migration driving steady residential construction, Crystal River and Homosassa Springs eco-tourism industry supporting commercial development, affordable land prices compared to Tampa Bay metro, The Villages expansion pushing growth southward into northern Citrus County, and infrastructure improvements along US 19 and the Suncoast Parkway extension opening new areas to development.

Crystal River and Homosassa Springs are critical manatee aggregation sites with extensive federal and state protection zones. Chassahowitzka National Wildlife Refuge limits development along the southern coastal margin. The Kings Bay/Crystal River springshed has nutrient TMDL requirements affecting land use. Citrus County's comprehensive plan designates Coastal High Hazard Areas restricting density along the Gulf. Karst sensitivity zones require enhanced stormwater treatment to protect spring water quality.
Protected species: Citrus County County is home to West Indian manatee (Trichechus manatus) — critical habitat in Crystal River and Homosassa, Gopher tortoise (Gopherus polyphemus), Eastern indigo snake (Drymarchon couperi), Florida black bear (Ursus americanus floridanus), Gulf sturgeon (Acipenser oxyrinchus desotoi), Florida scrub-jay (Aphelocoma coerulescens), Wood stork (Mycteria americana). Pre-clearing wildlife surveys may be required depending on habitat type and project scope.
Waterways & buffers: Properties near Crystal River, Homosassa River, Withlacoochee River, Chassahowitzka River, Tsala Apopka Lake chain, Kings Bay, Lake Hernando, Lake Henderson may require setback buffers and water management district permits. TreeShop works within all required buffer zones.
Soil conditions: Blichton loamy sand and Nobleton sand on limestone-influenced uplands. Hernando fine sand on well-drained ridges. Felda fine sand and Pineda fine sand in poorly drained flatwoods. Rock outcrop-Blichton complex where limestone is exposed at the surface. Coastal areas feature Wulfert muck and tidal marsh soils. Limestone is the defining subsurface feature — many parcels hit rock within 12-24 inches.
