Flagler County occupies a narrow strip between the Atlantic Ocean and the western pine flatwoods, with most development concentrated on the former ITT Community Development Corporation grid that became Palm Coast. Interior areas west of US-1 consist of poorly drained pine flatwoods interspersed with cypress domes and freshwater marsh, while the coastal ridge supports scrub oak and sand pine communities on well-drained sandy soils. TreeShop LLC provides professional land clearing, forestry mulching, and site preparation across Flagler County — serving Palm Coast, Flagler Beach, Bunnell, Marineland, Beverly Beach, and 3 more communities.
Palm Coast's ongoing buildout of its massive pre-platted grid creates steady demand for residential lot clearing, as thousands of empty parcels sold decades ago are now being developed. Agricultural-to-residential conversion west of Bunnell along SR-100 is accelerating as the county approves new planned unit developments. Fire mitigation clearing around homes in the Hammock and Pine Lakes subdivisions is a priority given Flagler's history of wildfire events, including the 2022 fires that threatened hundreds of structures. Waterfront property owners along the Intracoastal require selective clearing and mangrove trimming under strict regulatory guidelines.
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.
Flagler County occupies a narrow strip between the Atlantic Ocean and the western pine flatwoods, with most development concentrated on the former ITT Community Development Corporation grid that became Palm Coast. Interior areas west of US-1 consist of poorly drained pine flatwoods interspersed with cypress domes and freshwater marsh, while the coastal ridge supports scrub oak and sand pine communities on well-drained sandy soils. The Intracoastal Waterway bisects the county's eastern third, separating the barrier island from the mainland hammock.
Flagler County's population nearly doubled between 2010 and 2024, making it one of the fastest-growing counties in the southeastern United States. Palm Coast continues to issue over 2,000 residential building permits annually, and the extension of commercial development along Palm Coast Parkway is generating demand for larger-scale site preparation.
Flagler County's Coastal Construction Control Line regulations govern all clearing activity seaward of the CCCL, requiring DEP permits for vegetation removal in dune and coastal strand zones. Gopher tortoise surveys are mandatory on sandy upland parcels before clearing can begin, with the county enforcing a minimum 25-foot undisturbed buffer around confirmed burrows pending relocation. The county also falls within the North Atlantic right whale critical habitat zone, which restricts certain coastal construction timing. Freshwater wetlands associated with Graham Swamp and Haw Creek require St. Johns River Water Management District permits for any encroachment.
Soil: The dominant soils in Palm Coast and the coastal zone are Pomona and Immokalee fine sands, both characterized by a spodic horizon that creates a perched water table during wet months. Upland scrub ridges near Bunnell sit on Paola and Astatula fine sands with rapid permeability, while the western flatwoods are underlain by Placid and Basinger sands that remain saturated for much of the year.

Flagler County requires a vegetation removal permit for clearing on any lot greater than one-quarter acre in unincorporated areas, and Palm Coast has its own tree preservation ordinance protecting oaks over 4 inches DBH. Work within the CCCL requires a separate Florida DEP Coastal Construction Permit, and projects impacting wetlands need an Environmental Resource Permit from the St. Johns River Water Management District.
