Our specialty

Overgrown to build-ready. No burn piles. No haul-off.

Land clearing and forestry mulching are what we do best. A forestry mulcher grinds trees, brush and palmetto right where they stand and leaves a layer of natural mulch behind. That means no burn piles, no truckloads of debris to haul off, less soil disturbance and better erosion control than pushing everything into a pile.

Whether you are getting a homesite ready for survey, opening up acreage, or cutting fence lines and trails, we clear it clean and leave the trees you want to keep.

What we do

One crew for every phase of the dirt work

Twenty services under one company. Start with raw land and finish with a graded, drained, sodded property, without scheduling five different contractors.

Lots, acreage, fence lines and underbrush, cleared and mulched in place.

House pads, stemwall backfill, grading, leveling, final grade, demolition and silt fence.

Pond and lake excavation, French drains, ditch clearing, swales and culverts.

Tree and stump removal plus debris hauled off so the site is clean.

New and reconditioned driveways, rock and gravel, plus dirt, shell and aggregate delivery.

Sod installation and removal, irrigation and sprinkler systems, and landscape installation.

FAQ

Land clearing questions, answered

Have a question that is not here? Call or text (863) 993-5018 and talk to us directly.

Traditional land clearing pushes trees and brush into piles that then have to be burned or hauled off. Forestry mulching uses a machine that grinds that vegetation in place into a layer of mulch. It is usually faster, leaves no debris piles, disturbs the soil less and helps hold the ground against erosion. For heavy timber or full site prep, we can combine both methods.
