Why Brush Hog / Heavy Mowing in Hardee County

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.

Hardee's cattle operations span thousands of acres that require regular mowing to suppress broadleaf weeds and maintain forage quality for livestock. Field edges along row crop operations need mowing to reduce pest habitat and prevent woody seedling establishment. The county's agricultural ditch network requires bank mowing to maintain drainage capacity through the wet season.

Hardee County is agricultural Florida at its most fundamental -- an interior landscape of citrus groves, cattle ranches, row crop fields, and the Peace River winding through its center. Rolling sand ridges support remnant longleaf pine and turkey oak, while creek bottoms harbor hardwood hammocks of live oak, red maple, and sweetgum. Former phosphate mining areas in the northwestern corner create an altered topography of reclaimed clay settling ponds and revegetated spoil piles.

Citrus grove removal and replanting, cattle ranch fence line clearing, pasture improvement and reclamation, row crop field expansion, rural homesite preparation, hunting property management, phosphate mine reclamation site clearing, and agricultural infrastructure site preparation. Citrus greening continues to devastate remaining groves, forcing landowners to remove trees and decide between replanting, converting to alternative crops, or selling for other uses. Cattle ranchers need constant fence line and pasture maintenance. Row crop farming (watermelon, blueberry, sod) is expanding into former citrus acreage. The county's low land costs and relaxed regulations attract agricultural operations displaced from more urbanized counties. Limited residential development occurs around Wauchula as workforce housing.

Environmental Considerations in Hardee County

The Peace River corridor serves as the county's primary environmental feature, with floodplain protections and riparian buffer requirements enforced by SWFWMD. Former and active phosphate mining areas in the Fort Green vicinity are subject to reclamation requirements under state mining regulations. Hardee County's agricultural character means most clearing falls under silvicultural or agricultural exemptions, but wetland impacts along creek bottoms and the Peace River still require environmental resource permits. Gopher tortoise populations are common on sandy upland ridges between agricultural parcels.

Protected species: Hardee County is home to Gopher tortoise, Eastern indigo snake, Florida sandhill crane, Crested caracara, Wood stork, Bald eagle, Florida black bear (occasional), Sherman's fox squirrel. Pre-clearing wildlife surveys may be required depending on habitat type and project scope.

Waterways & buffers: Properties near Peace River, Charlie Creek, Payne Creek, Troublesome Creek, Little Charlie Creek, Bowlegs Creek, Horse Creek (headwaters) may require setback buffers and water management district permits. TreeShop works within all required buffer zones.

Soil conditions: Zolfo fine sand -- named for the town of Zolfo Springs -- is a moderately well-drained spodosol characteristic of the county's flatwoods. Pomello and Immokalee fine sands appear on slightly elevated positions. Hardee County's agricultural productivity depends on the Felda, Pineda, and Winder soils found in lower positions with higher water retention. Phosphatic clay settling areas in the northwest contain man-made soils with dramatically different characteristics from native terrain. Peace River alluvial deposits include sandy loam with good fertility.
