Our Services

What we deliver across Lee County properties.

Residential & Homeowner Land Clearing

Whether you're prepping a lot in Cape Coral, Bonita Springs, or Estero for new construction or simply clearing overgrown vegetation, we handle residential sites of any size. We respect property lines, protect existing structures, and ensure all native trees are removed or preserved per Lee County code.

Homeowners in flood-prone areas often clear vegetation to improve drainage and reduce standing water risk. We'll prep your site so it's ready for the next phase—patio, pool, deck, or new home.

Commercial & Development Land Clearing

Commercial projects require careful planning and strict regulatory compliance. We manage large-scale clearing for shopping centers, industrial parks, office buildings, and mixed-use developments across Lee County.

Our team coordinates with your contractors and handles wetland mitigation, invasive species removal, and site preparation that meets development timelines.

Agricultural Land Clearing

Agricultural property owners need to clear land for active farming, pasture, or crop rotation. We remove invasive species like melaleuca and Brazilian pepper while preserving productive agricultural land. For agriculturally zoned properties, we handle Notice of Clearing requirements with Lee County.

Invasive species are a major concern in Lee County. Melaleuca and Brazilian pepper spread quickly and drain soil. We remove them and properly dispose of material to prevent regrowth.

Why It Matters

Proper land clearing protects your investment and respects the environment.

Lee County Regulations Are Strict—We Know Them

Florida has some of the most comprehensive tree protection and environmental regulations in the country, and Lee County enforces them rigorously. We understand protected species, wetland setbacks, and protected tree requirements. Mistakes cost money and delay projects.

Our team has handled Cape Coral, Estero, Bonita Springs, and other Lee County municipalities requirements. We file permits correctly the first time.

Environmental Compliance That Protects Your Project

If your property contains or borders wetlands, additional environmental review is needed before land clearing. The South Florida Water Management District and potentially the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers may need to issue permits. We handle these reviews and coordinate with environmental agencies.

Florida's gopher tortoise is a protected species that commonly inhabits upland scrub habitats throughout Lee County. Before clearing, a gopher tortoise survey must be conducted. We arrange surveys and handle required permits if tortoises are found.

Invasive Species Removal Prevents Future Problems

Land clearing in Southwest Florida often involves removal of native vegetation including slash pine, saw palmetto, cabbage palm, Brazilian pepper, and melaleuca. The mix of native and invasive species affects both the clearing approach and permitting requirements.

Invasive species come back if not removed properly. We dispose of cleared vegetation responsibly to prevent regrowth on your property or neighboring land.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about land clearing in Lee County.

Do I need a permit for land clearing in Lee County?

Yes. The Lee County Land Development Code regulates the removal of native vegetation. Before clearing, you typically need to submit a Vegetation Removal Permit application to Lee County's Development Services department. We handle the permit application and any required environmental reviews.

What happens if my property has a gopher tortoise?

A gopher tortoise survey must be conducted before clearing. If burrows are found, a licensed agent relocates them under Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission guidelines. We arrange and coordinate this process.

What do you do with cleared brush and trees?

Cleared vegetation must be managed appropriately. Options include on-site mulching, chipping and hauling, open burning, or off-site disposal. We discuss your preferences and site constraints to choose the best option.

What if my property has wetlands?

If your property contains or borders wetlands, additional environmental review is needed. The South Florida Water Management District and potentially the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers may need to issue permits. We coordinate with these agencies to ensure compliance.

Can you clear agricultural property for farming?

Property owners who wish to remove trees from agriculturally zoned property for bona fide agricultural use must obtain a Notice of Clearing from Environmental Sciences. Documentation verifying intent to use the property for agricultural purposes must be included. We prepare and file this documentation.

Do HOAs have their own clearing requirements?

Always check with your HOA and local municipality before starting clearing work. Many communities in Cape Coral, Estero, and Bonita Springs have additional requirements beyond county rules. We can help you navigate both.
