Low-lying coastal plain along Tampa Bay with mangrove shorelines and tidal flats transitioning to gently rolling interior uplands. The Hillsborough River bisects the northern section, flowing through a corridor of bottomland hardwoods and cypress. TreeShop LLC provides professional land clearing, forestry mulching, and site preparation across Hillsborough County County — serving Tampa, Brandon, Plant City, Temple Terrace, Riverview, and 9 more communities.
Large residential community development in South Shore (Riverview, Ruskin, Wimauma), commercial and industrial pad preparation in the I-4 and I-75 corridors, selective clearing for estate lots in Lithia and Thonotosassa, infill development clearing in established Tampa neighborhoods, strawberry farm and citrus grove conversion to residential in Plant City area, and infrastructure corridor clearing for road and utility projects.
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.
Low-lying coastal plain along Tampa Bay with mangrove shorelines and tidal flats transitioning to gently rolling interior uplands. The Hillsborough River bisects the northern section, flowing through a corridor of bottomland hardwoods and cypress. The Alafia River system drains the southeastern quarter through phosphate-altered terrain. Eastern Hillsborough from Thonotosassa through Plant City features sandy uplands, pine flatwoods, and extensive former agricultural land (strawberries, citrus, cattle) now under intense development pressure. The South Shore area (Ruskin, Apollo Beach, Wimauma) represents the newest growth frontier.
Tampa Bay metro population growth exceeding 20,000 residents per year, South Shore (Riverview, Wimauma, Ruskin) as one of Florida's hottest development markets, Plant City agricultural-to-residential transition accelerating, I-4 corridor commercial growth between Tampa and Lakeland, Tampa Port expansion and associated industrial development, affordable housing pressure driving infill and density projects, and the general southeastward expansion of Tampa's suburban footprint.
Tampa Bay is an estuary of national significance with extensive protection under the Tampa Bay Estuary Program. Mangrove trimming is strictly regulated under Florida Statute 403.9321-403.9333 — no cutting of mangroves without a professional mangrove trimmer license and compliance with trimming standards. Hillsborough County Environmental Protection Commission (EPC) independently enforces wetland, stormwater, and tree protections beyond state minimums. Critical Area Plans apply to the Alafia and Hillsborough River corridors. ELAPP (Environmental Lands Acquisition and Protection Program) has preserved over 60,000 acres county-wide.
Soil: Myakka fine sand and EauGallie fine sand are the dominant poorly drained series across central and western Hillsborough. Zolfo fine sand and Pomello fine sand on better-drained uplands around Plant City. Phosphatic clays and Bone Valley formation soils in the southeastern quadrant near Fort Lonesome and Wimauma — legacy of phosphate mining. Winder loamy fine sand and Felda fine sand in wet prairies. Coastal areas feature Wulfert muck and St. Augustine fine sand. The phosphatic soils are uniquely challenging — dense, acidic, and often poorly drained.

Hillsborough County has among the most rigorous environmental permitting in Central Florida. The independent EPC regulates wetlands with stricter standards than SWFWMD in many cases, including 50-foot upland buffers on most wetlands. Tree removal permits required for oaks and other hardwoods exceeding 8-inch DBH outside of agricultural zoning. Mangrove alteration requires professional trimmer certification. Development clearing requires pre-construction gopher tortoise surveys, eagle nest surveys within 660 feet, and protected species assessments. NPDES stormwater permits required for land disturbance over 1 acre. Tampa and Plant City have additional municipal tree protection ordinances.
