What We Use on Residential Clearing

We have a complete fleet of professional quality land clearing equipment to get any residential job done right, fast and safely. We apply the right machinery for each property’s circumstances, i.e. terrain, size of lot, density of surrounding veg, and access. This affords us mobility to different environments and the ability to provide clean, precise outcomes.

For the majority of our work doing residential land clearing for new construction, we rely on a combination of skid steers, excavators, bulldozers and forestry mulchers.

Skid steers are popular for their ability to work in confined areas and can be used for brush and light clearing.

We use excavators to pull out deep stumps and dig out embedded blockages. Large quantities of soil or dirt are pushed up or to the side by bulldozers during rough grading.

Forestry mulchers offer an environmentally friendly solution for grinding and mulching trees and brush on site where they are felled and then ground into mulch to be reused or sold.

Utilizing the proper tools for the work, we are able to minimize the disruption to your community, spare your top soil where we are able to, and complete our projects at a pace other companies can’t match—without sacrificing quality!

We have a highly trained crew that knows how to operate every machine with precision to make sure your lot is cleared with the least amount of environmental impact leaving your ground ready for construction.

Demolition of a House on Rezoned Lands; Permits and Regulations

Whether you’re in Cape Coral or elsewhere in Southwest Florida, residential land clearing for new construction is more than just simply chopping down trees and clearing brush or grasses – it also means following the law and protecting the environment.

Some permits may be needed depending upon the location, size and vegetation within your lot before any clearing is started. This is particularly so when properties are close to wetlands, protected residences or conservation areas.

We are experts in local permitting and regulation. Working directly with city and county offices to obtain necessary permits to get your job approved and compliant from day one.

These regulations may limit the amount of native or protected tree species that can be removed, set rules for erosion control and establish requirements for buffer zones between your lot and nearby waterways and neighboring lots.

We handle the permitting so that you don’t have to worry about getting delayed or fined. We make sure everything is documented properly, and all clearing is done according to both state and local codes – so you can relax knowing everything’s been taken care of and you’ve got a clear path to your new house.

Average Time Frame and Cost Elements

In general, the average time for clearing a residential lot ranges from one to three days.

The specific schedule will vary according to factors such as lot size, the density of vegetation, and terrain complexity.

Brushless or tree-free smaller lots can be cleared in a single day. For large or heavily wooded lots, expect to pay more, especially for jobs that will require more than one day or for stump grinding, grading or erosion control.

Price is influenced by many factors. It’s simple math, lot size is the first factor– bigger lots take more time, work and equipment.

Vegetation type, volume is also a major factor. (For instance, cutting down mature trees or deep root systems will cost more than clearing low brush or grass.)

Other factors such as accessibility (how feasible it is to get equipment to the site), the slope of the terrain, whether debris needs to be removed from the site, and any permitting or environmental concerns can also affect costs.

Every property is unique & therefore we offer individual quotes based on a comprehensive on-site inspection.

We will take a look at your lot, give you a clean, competitive estimate with no hidden costs—so you know what to expect before we even begin work.
