A fit
- A residential lot in or around Ocala with trees and underbrush in a defined area.
Veteran-owned | Marion County and Ocala
What residential land clearing includes
Clearing here means the trees and brush you marked come out. It is tree removal, then later landscape construction. It does not include a permit, a foundation excavation, or a new lawn.
Key takeaways
- The tree work is removal of the trees and brush you marked. Haul-off is only what you asked for. Grading and a new lawn are later landscape construction.
- Stump grinding is included only if the request says the surface has to be clear.
- Permits, surveys, grading, drainage, irrigation, and sod are not hiding inside the word "clear."
- Say which trees stay, and whether the surface has to be clear. The visit is those removals and the brush.
"Clear the lot" means different things to a homeowner and to a builder. This is the homeowner version: the vegetation in the way of the work comes down, and you can see the ground.
Who this job is for
A different service
- You need the soil moved and a drain installed. That is construction.
- You need a weekly cut afterward. That is maintenance.

Leave
You can see the work area. The next step is yours: build, grade, or replant.
Related: before you build, selective clearing vs. a full lot clear, and grinding vs. digging a stump.
What the clear is not
A residential clear is the trees and brush inside the area you marked. The lot is not a finished homesite.
- Haul the brush or pile it where you said. The crew does not take trees you flagged to keep.
- Stump grinding happens only when you said the surface has to be clear for equipment or a future lawn.
- If a footing needs the root ball gone, that dig is closer to grading than to a grind. See grinding versus digging a stump.
- Grading, drainage, irrigation, and sod are the next trades. That later work is landscape construction. A weekly cut after you replant is maintenance.
Mark the corners and say which trees stay. That keeps the visit a tree removal instead of a rewrite of the whole lot.
