Palm Beach County is the largest county in Florida by land area east of the Everglades, stretching from 47 miles of Atlantic coastline on the east through suburban development and the Loxahatchee Slough to the vast agricultural expanse of the Everglades Agricultural Area in the west. The coastal ridge—a narrow band of well-drained sandy soils—supports the county's densest development from Jupiter south through Boca Raton. TreeShop LLC provides professional land clearing, forestry mulching, and site preparation across Palm Beach County — serving West Palm Beach, Boca Raton, Delray Beach, Boynton Beach, Jupiter, and 9 more communities.
The western communities of Loxahatchee, The Acreage, and Royal Palm Beach generate the highest volume of lot clearing in Palm Beach County, with property owners building on one-to-ten-acre parcels that were platted decades ago on former agricultural land. Coastal redevelopment from Jupiter to Boca Raton involves selective clearing and site preparation on infill parcels where older structures are being replaced with larger homes. The Everglades Agricultural Area around Belle Glade and Pahokee requires periodic clearing for field rotation, canal maintenance, and agricultural infrastructure. High-end residential communities in Palm Beach Gardens, Wellington, and Jupiter regularly commission invasive removal and selective clearing to maintain property values and comply with HOA standards.
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.
Palm Beach County is the largest county in Florida by land area east of the Everglades, stretching from 47 miles of Atlantic coastline on the east through suburban development and the Loxahatchee Slough to the vast agricultural expanse of the Everglades Agricultural Area in the west. The coastal ridge—a narrow band of well-drained sandy soils—supports the county's densest development from Jupiter south through Boca Raton. Inland, the terrain drops into the poorly drained flatwoods and marshes of the Loxahatchee Groves and Acreage communities. The western third of the county is dominated by sugarcane, rice, and vegetable farming on the deep muck soils south of Lake Okeechobee. Arthur R. Marshall Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge occupies 147,000 acres of northern Everglades marsh in the county's southwest quadrant.
Palm Beach County added over 100,000 residents between 2020 and 2024, with much of the growth concentrated in the western communities where land is more affordable and lot sizes are larger. The Loxahatchee-Acreage area has become a magnet for buyers seeking rural-residential properties, driving a wave of lot clearing on parcels that have been vacant since their original platting. Luxury home construction in Jupiter, Palm Beach Gardens, and coastal Boca Raton sustains demand for premium selective clearing services. The county's severe melaleuca and Brazilian pepper infestations generate year-round invasive removal contracts.
Palm Beach County enforces one of Florida's most comprehensive tree protection ordinances, requiring permits for removal of any native tree with a diameter of four inches or greater and imposing replacement requirements up to a three-to-one ratio for canopy trees. The Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge and Grassy Waters Preserve—the drinking water supply for West Palm Beach—impose extensive buffer and stormwater requirements on adjacent development. Gopher tortoise surveys are mandatory on all undeveloped upland parcels, and the county's scrub and pine flatwoods remnants support listed species including scrub-jays and sand skinks. Projects in western communities near the Everglades buffer require South Florida Water Management District approval for any changes to drainage or water management. Sea turtle nesting beach protections apply along the entire coastline from March through October.
Soil: The coastal ridge from Jupiter to Boca Raton rests on Paola and Palm Beach fine sands—well-drained, deep sandy soils over Anastasia limestone. Inland communities like Loxahatchee and Royal Palm Beach sit on Basinger, Margate, and Holopaw fine sands that are poorly drained with seasonal high water tables within twelve inches of the surface. The Everglades Agricultural Area around Belle Glade and Pahokee contains Pahokee, Lauderhill, and Terra Ceia muck soils—deep organic histosols that are among the richest agricultural soils on earth but subside several inches per decade as they oxidize.

Palm Beach County's Unified Land Development Code requires a land-clearing permit for all parcels and a separate tree removal permit for any protected species. The county's Environmental Resources Management department reviews projects for wetland impacts, listed species, and compliance with the Comprehensive Plan's conservation requirements. Municipalities including Boca Raton, Jupiter, and Wellington enforce their own tree ordinances that may be more restrictive than the county's. South Florida Water Management District Environmental Resource Permits are required for virtually any project that alters surface water flow, which in a county as flat and wet as Palm Beach means nearly every clearing job.
