Scheduled maintenance visits across Martin County prevent cleared parcels from reverting to brushland during the extended permitting timelines the county's growth management process demands. We return with mulching or mowing equipment on a quarterly or semi-annual basis. Serving Stuart, Jensen Beach, Palm City, Indiantown, and 5 more communities across Martin County.
Quarterly to annual regrowth control for previously cleared properties. Scheduled return visits with forestry mulching or mowing equipment to protect your clearing investment.
Martin County's development approval process frequently takes 6-18 months from initial application to building permit. Properties cleared in anticipation of approval can become fully re-vegetated during that window. Maintenance contracts ensure that when permits finally arrive, the site remains ready for construction without the cost and delay of re-clearing.
Pine flatwoods and scrub occupy the uplands, while the Loxahatchee River basin harbors one of the last wild river systems in southeast Florida. Western Martin County around Indiantown transitions to cattle ranch and improved pasture on a vast scale. Coastal areas feature mangrove-lined estuaries, sea turtle nesting beaches on Hutchinson Island's southern tip, and the coral-rock shoreline of the House of Refuge vicinity.
Custom home lot clearing within established Palm City and Stuart subdivisions, rural homesite preparation on Indiantown ranchettes, selective clearing within Jonathan Dickinson State Park buffer zones, commercial infill development along US 1 and Monterey Road, canal-front property restoration, and agricultural land maintenance for cattle operations in the western county. Martin County's growth restrictions paradoxically increase the value of cleared, buildable land -- every approved lot commands premium pricing. Palm City and Hobe Sound attract high-net-worth buyers seeking estate lots. Indiantown's recent incorporation as a municipality is spurring new development interest in the western county. The C-44 reservoir and stormwater treatment area project brings large-scale earth-moving work. Stuart's waterfront revitalization drives selective clearing and site preparation for infill projects.

Martin County is renowned for its strict Comprehensive Growth Management Plan, which limits urban sprawl through a defined urban services boundary. The Loxahatchee River was the first waterway in Florida designated a National Wild and Scenic River, granting it extraordinary protections. Jonathan Dickinson State Park spans over 11,500 acres of pine flatwoods, sand pine scrub, and river swamp. Hobe Sound National Wildlife Refuge protects critical habitat for nesting loggerhead sea turtles. The county falls under SFWMD jurisdiction, and any project near the St. Lucie Inlet or river system triggers heightened permitting requirements.
Protected species: Martin County is home to Gopher tortoise, Florida scrub jay, Loggerhead sea turtle, Green sea turtle, Leatherback sea turtle, West Indian manatee, Wood stork, Eastern indigo snake, Southeastern beach mouse (Hobe Sound), Florida bonneted bat. Pre-clearing wildlife surveys may be required depending on habitat type and project scope.
Waterways & buffers: Properties near Loxahatchee River (Northwest Fork - National Wild & Scenic River), St. Lucie River (South Fork), St. Lucie Inlet, Indian River Lagoon (southern reach), Manatee Pocket, Bessey Creek, South Fork St. Lucie River, C-44 Canal (St. Lucie Canal) may require setback buffers and water management district permits. TreeShop works within all required buffer zones.
Soil conditions: Poorly drained Riviera and Pineda fine sands prevail across flatwoods areas with seasonal water tables at or near the surface. Jonathan Dickinson State Park and Hobe Sound areas feature well-drained Paola and St. Lucie sands on ancient dune ridges. The Indiantown area sits on Myakka and Immokalee fine sands typical of interior flatwoods, while muck soils (Torry and Okeelanta series) appear near sloughs and the western marshes connected to the greater Everglades system.
