Land Clearing in
Citrus County County, FL

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.

Why Land Clearing in 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.

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.

Environmental Considerations in Citrus County County

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.
