Whether you’re preparing to build a new home, install a fence, or just reclaim overgrown property, land clearing is the first and most important step. But clearing land is no small task—it requires the right equipment, experience, and strategy to get it done safely and efficiently. At Big Mike’s Tree Service, we specialize in full-service land clearing across Central Florida. In this guide, we’ll walk you through what to look for in a land clearing company and how we make it easy for you to get started.

Land clearing isn’t just cutting down trees. It includes removing brush, stumps, roots, rocks, and debris to create a clean, level, and buildable surface. In many cases, excavation and grading are also required to prepare the land for construction or landscaping. Big Mike’s Tree Service handles every phase of the clearing process—from tree removal to final grading. We bring in articulating loaders, grapples, and Bobcats to clear the site quickly and leave it ready for your next step.

Not all companies have the gear or training needed for full-scale land clearing. You want a team with experience using heavy-duty equipment, especially for larger lots or wooded areas. At Big Mike’s, we’re fully equipped with skid steers, grapples, loaders, and excavators. Our crew is trained to operate this machinery safely and efficiently—even in rough terrain or tight spaces. With us, you’ll get precision work without delays or damage to the surrounding area.

Land clearing often requires local permits, especially in residential zones or environmentally protected areas. A reliable contractor should be familiar with Central Florida regulations and help you navigate any red tape. Big Mike’s Tree Service understands local codes, soil types, and drainage concerns. We work with homeowners, contractors, and property managers to ensure the clearing process meets all guidelines—so you can move forward with confidence.

Clearing land can be hazardous without the right safety protocols. Look for a licensed and insured team that takes precautions during tree removals and excavation. At Big Mike’s, safety is always a priority—from proper gear and controlled equipment use to thorough cleanup once the job is done. We remove all debris, grind stumps, and leave the site neat, level, and build-ready.

Hiring the right land clearing service can make or break your project. With Big Mike’s Tree Service, you get expert planning, powerful equipment, and a local crew that understands the Central Florida landscape. From small backyard jobs to multi-acre sites, we clear it all—quickly, safely, and professionally. Call us today!
