Land Clearing

What Land Clearing Delivers

Land clearing is the full-service approach — removing all vegetation, trees, stumps, and root systems to deliver a clean, graded surface ready for construction, grading, or development. We deploy CAT excavators and track loaders to handle everything from selective tree removal to complete site preparation. Whether you're building a house, prepping a commercial pad, or clearing multiple lots for a subdivision, this is the service that takes raw land to a finished, build-ready surface. Stump grinding is available as an add-on when root systems need to come out completely. Scope and pricing are confirmed during your free on-site estimate.

Jeremiah walks every estimate personally and manages every project from mobilization to final walkthrough. Owner-operated means you're never dealing with a middleman.

Our Process

Free Estimate

Jeremiah walks your property in person — evaluating terrain, tree size, root systems, and equipment access to deliver an accurate quote.

MSA Agreement

Clear scope, timeline, and expectations documented in our Master Service Agreement before any equipment rolls. No surprises.

Production

CAT excavators and track loaders mobilize to your site. Trees, brush, stumps, and root systems are removed. Rough grading as needed.

Final Walkthrough

Owner Jeremiah Anderson walks the finished project with you to confirm every detail meets expectations before we close out.

Equipment

TreeShop deploys CAT 20+ ton excavators for tree removal, root raking, and heavy material handling, paired with CAT large-frame track loaders for pushing, grading, and site finishing. Forestry mulcher attachments handle brush and smaller vegetation.

This is production-grade iron — not a skid steer with a bucket. The combination of excavator reach and track loader pushing power means your site gets cleared efficiently and completely, regardless of vegetation density.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's included in a land clearing project?

Day rates are inclusive — they cover the machine, attachment, operator, and overhead. The scope typically includes tree removal, brush clearing, root raking, and rough grading. Stump grinding is available as an add-on. Everything is confirmed during your free on-site estimate.

What kind of projects need land clearing vs. forestry mulching?

Land clearing removes everything — trees, roots, stumps — leaving bare ground ready for construction. Forestry mulching grinds vegetation in place, leaving a layer of organic mulch. If you need a build-ready site, you need clearing. If you just need overgrown vegetation removed, mulching is faster and more affordable.

Do you handle permits?

We guide you through the permitting process and can advise on what's required for your county, but the property owner is ultimately responsible for obtaining permits. Most Florida counties require tree removal permits for certain species and diameters.

Is stump grinding included?

Stump grinding is available as an add-on. Most stumps take 15-30 minutes each depending on size and root structure. We can include it in the scope or handle it separately.

How long does a land clearing project take?

A typical residential lot (under 1 acre) takes 1-3 days depending on vegetation density and whether grading is included. Larger commercial sites are scoped individually. Timeline is confirmed before any work starts.

What equipment do you use for land clearing?

CAT 20+ ton excavators for tree removal and root raking, CAT large-frame track loaders for pushing and grading, and forestry mulcher attachments for processing brush and small trees. The right machine for the right task — no undersized equipment.
