Forestry mulching, land clearing and site work across Central Florida. We run our own machines, publish our rates, and quote most jobs from photos the same day.
Nine services across residential lots, acreage, homesite prep and small commercial site work. Every one quoted against the same published rates.
Grinds standing vegetation where it’s and leaves a clean mulch layer. Nothing hauled, nothing burned.
Full removal down to bare soil for building, compaction and site development.
New shell and base driveways, plus restoration of washed-out or rutted drives that already exist.
Compacted, shaped pads for homes, barns, garages and sheds, cut to the elevation you need.
Rough and finish grading to move water away from structures and level ground for what comes next.
Trenching, digging and dirt work on residential lots, with the mini excavator where the loader can’t reach.
Timber retaining walls that hold a grade change, square up a yard and stop a slope from washing out.
Overgrown lots and fence lines knocked back so the property is walkable and maintainable again.
Clearing, grading, drainage and access handled as one job so the lot is ready to build on.
No site visit needed for most parcels, no deposit, and no surprises when the invoice lands.
Text or email a few shots of the property with rough acreage. Corners, the thickest section, and your access point.
We read density and trunk size off the photos and come back the same day with a firm range, not a ballpark.
Usually one to three weeks out. Most residential jobs run one to three days start to finish.
We don’t leave until you’ve seen it and signed off. The price doesn’t move from what we quoted.
The question we get more than any other, and picking wrong costs real money. Here’s the honest breakdown.
Most outfits in this market won’t publish a number. Here are ours. Density drives the price far more than acreage does.
| How thick is it? | Mulching / acre | Clearing / acre |
|---|---|---|
Light Palmetto and scattered saplings under 4" DBH | $1,200–2,500 | $1,500–3,000 |
Moderate Mixed brush and pine, 4–8" DBH | $2,500–3,500 | $3,000–6,000 |
Heavy Dense oak hammock, 8–10" DBH | $3,500–4,500 | $6,000–10,000 |
National cost sites quote $1,000–$2,500 a day for a skid steer mulcher. Real Florida operators start around $3,000 with transport.
The gap is real. Trip distance, palmetto root mass and soft ground all cost more here than a national average assumes.
If a quote you’ve been given looks far cheaper than this page, ask what’s excluded.
Every machine on this list is ours. No rental markup on your invoice, no waiting on availability, and no subcontractor pulling up in a truck you’ve never seen.
Five counties inside a sixty-mile radius of Titusville. Each town has its own page with local ground conditions and what the work costs there.

Mulching runs one machine that grinds everything where it stands and leaves the chips down as ground cover. Nothing gets hauled, nothing gets burned, and the root mass stays put. Land clearing pulls the roots out and leaves bare soil plus debris to deal with. Simple version: mulch if you want the land usable and maintained, clear and grub if you’re putting a foundation on it.
Light brush and palmetto runs $1,200 to $2,500 an acre mulched. Moderate mixed growth is $2,500 to $3,500. Heavy oak hammock with 8–10" trunks runs $3,500 to $4,500. Full clearing down to bare soil is roughly double. Density matters far more than total acreage. Ten acres of palmetto is a quicker job than two acres of hammock.
No, and anyone who tells you it’ll is setting you up for a second invoice. Saw palmetto regrows from the root mass and mulching leaves that intact. For most properties that’s fine. You’ll want a maintenance pass every two to four years. If you need them gone permanently, that’s a grubbing job and we’ll quote it as one.
Usually not. Send photos of the corners, the thickest section and your access point along with rough acreage, and we can read density and trunk size well enough to give you a firm range the same day. We’ll walk it before work starts, and if what we find differs materially from the photos we’ll tell you before anything runs.
Yes. A lot of our work is exactly that. New shell driveways, restoring drives that have washed out or rutted, compacted pads for homes, barns and sheds, grading to move water away from a structure, and timber retaining walls where a yard needs a grade change held. Most of it gets quoted the same way clearing does.
Possibly, depending on your county and whether the parcel is developed. Permitting is the property owner’s responsibility and we don’t file on your behalf, but we’re happy to point you at the right county office before you commit to anything.
Scheduling generally runs one to three weeks depending on season, and most residential jobs take one to three days once we’re on site. Storm cleanup jumps the line.
Most quotes come back the same day. No deposit, and the price we agree on is the price you pay.
