// Our Process
From Site Walk to Graded Ground.
Land clearing should be straightforward. Here's how we keep it that way from your first call to a clean, build-ready site.
01
Site Walk & Quote
We walk the property, assess vegetation density, identify any protected trees or wetlands flags, and get you a firm quote — usually same-day or next-day for standard residential and commercial sites.
02
Permits & Tree Approvals
We pull any required clearing permits and handle protected-tree review with the local jurisdiction — Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach all have specific rules for what you can and can't take down. We navigate them so you don't have to.
03
Mobilization & Clearing
Excavators, bulldozers, mulchers, and grapples on site. Most quarter-acre to half-acre residential lots clear in 1–2 days. Multi-acre commercial sites typically run 1–3 weeks depending on density and grade work.
04
Grubbing & Stump Removal
We don't just cut down — we pull the roots out. Stumps ground or grubbed depending on what your build crew needs, leaving the site truly cleared instead of just surface-cleaned.
05
Haul-Off & Rough Grade
All vegetation and debris hauled — mulched on site if cost-effective, or trucked out and disposed of correctly. Site rough-graded so the next trade can mobilize without surprises.

Common Questions About Land Clearing
Everything you need to know before clearing a lot or development site in South Florida.
How much does land clearing cost in Miami?
Land clearing costs in South Florida vary based on lot size, vegetation density, and what's coming out of the ground. As a rough range, small residential lots (quarter-acre or less) typically run $1,500 to $5,000, larger residential lots run $3,000 to $10,000, and multi-acre commercial or development sites can run $2,500 to $7,000+ per acre.
Heavy tree cover, protected trees requiring permits, and stump grubbing all add to the price. We give detailed line-item quotes after a site walk.
Do I need a permit to clear my land in Florida?
Often, yes — especially in Miami-Dade and Broward. Most jurisdictions require a tree removal permit for any tree above a certain trunk diameter, and many have separate permits for clearing wetlands-flagged areas, protected species, or ecologically sensitive land.
We pull every clearing permit on your behalf, including protected-tree review and mitigation paperwork when required. You don't deal with the city — we do.
How long does it take to clear a lot?
Most quarter-acre to half-acre residential lots clear in 1 to 2 days on site. Multi-acre commercial or development sites typically run 1 to 3 weeks depending on density, tree cover, and grade work. Permit timelines add 1–4 weeks before mobilization, depending on the jurisdiction and whether protected trees are involved.
Do you remove tree stumps and roots — or just cut them down?
We do both. Standard land clearing includes full grubbing — pulling stumps and root systems out of the ground so the site is truly cleared, not just surface-cleaned. If you're prepping for foundation work, this is what you want.
For sites that don't need a buildable surface (pasture, parking, light landscaping), stumps can be ground level instead of fully grubbed for a lower price.
Can you mulch the cleared vegetation on site?
Yes, when it makes financial sense. On larger sites, on-site mulching saves significantly on hauling costs and produces material you can use for erosion control, landscaping, or just leaving on site. We'll tell you whether mulching or haul-off is the better play for your project during scoping.
Do you handle storm and hurricane cleanup?
Yes — 24/7 emergency response. After hurricanes and major storms, we mobilize fast for downed-tree removal, debris clearing, and damaged-structure takedown. We work with property owners, HOAs, and commercial property managers across Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach.
What areas do you serve for land clearing?
We handle land clearing projects throughout Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties. Frequent project areas include Miami, Hialeah, Doral, Kendall, Homestead, Fort Lauderdale, Pompano Beach, Pembroke Pines, Hollywood, West Palm Beach, and the development corridors along the Florida Turnpike and US-27.
