Gently rolling karst terrain with limestone close to the surface across much of the county. The Withlacoochee State Forest covers significant acreage in the southern and western portions. TreeShop LLC provides professional land clearing, forestry mulching, and site preparation across Sumter County County — serving Bushnell, Webster, Wildwood, The Villages (primary), Coleman, and 1 more communities.
Residential subdivision clearing for Villages-adjacent development, pasture and ranchland clearing for new residential communities, commercial and retail pad preparation along US 301 and the Florida Turnpike corridor, remnant citrus grove removal, rural homesite preparation on 5-10 acre parcels around Webster and Bushnell, and fire fuel management on state forest interface parcels.
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.
Gently rolling karst terrain with limestone close to the surface across much of the county. The Withlacoochee State Forest covers significant acreage in the southern and western portions. Central and northern Sumter features improved pastureland and remnant citrus groves on sandy uplands. The Villages development dominates the eastern and northern sections with ongoing expansion converting rural land to residential use at a rapid pace.
The Villages is the single largest demand driver — ongoing expansion requires continuous clearing of adjacent agricultural and forested parcels for new village squares and residential pods. Secondary drivers include Florida Turnpike interchange commercial development near Wildwood, continued agricultural-to-residential land conversion, and infrastructure expansion (road widening, utility corridors) to serve the growing population.
Withlacoochee State Forest lands require buffer compliance and limit development on adjacent parcels. Jumper Creek and the Withlacoochee River corridor have associated wetland protections. The Villages development footprint triggers cumulative impact considerations under SWFWMD review. Karst terrain requires careful stormwater management to protect Floridan Aquifer recharge. Sumter County's comprehensive plan has been updated repeatedly to accommodate Villages expansion.
Soil: Candler fine sand and Apopka fine sand on well-drained uplands. Tavares and Millhopper fine sands in transitional areas. Lake sand series on deep sandy ridges. Poorly drained Myakka and EauGallie fine sands in flatwoods depressions. Limestone typically encountered within 3-6 feet across the county, with karst solution features influencing drainage patterns.

Sumter County development review is heavily influenced by The Villages development agreement, which operates under a Development of Regional Impact (DRI) framework. Outside The Villages footprint, standard county development review applies. SWFWMD Environmental Resource Permits required for wetland impacts and projects exceeding stormwater thresholds. Gopher tortoise surveys mandatory on sandhill and scrub parcels. Agricultural operations benefit from standard silvicultural and Right to Farm exemptions.
