Open a lot
Define the work area, then separate brush, trees and below-ground work.
What stays: Keeper trees stay. Roots and debris handling must be specified; an open lot is not automatically a building pad.

Loxahatchee Groves is its own incorporated town with its own vegetation-removal resource — not a section of unincorporated Palm Beach County and not the same as The Acreage next door. If your parcel sits inside the Town limits, that distinction matters before any clearing begins. We provide lot clearing, forestry mulching and brush and underbrush clearing here, scoped to what you actually want as the finished result.

What stays: A layer of mulch and the root systems normally remain. Grubbing and haul-off are separate work.

A mailing address labeled "Loxahatchee" does not confirm which jurisdiction governs your parcel. The Town of Loxahatchee Groves has published its own vegetation-removal resource as a starting point. Palm Beach County's tree removal instructions exist separately and may or may not apply to your specific lot. Before we write a scope, we ask you to confirm which authority governs your parcel. No link alone settles that question for a specific property. Learn more about our work across Palm Beach County and Southeast Florida.
Lot clearing removes above-ground vegetation — trees, shrubs, overgrown brush, vines — and typically handles woody material by cutting and hauling or by on-site processing. The goal is a surface you can access, survey, or prepare for a defined future use. What that finish looks like depends on what you ask us to leave standing. A shade tree at the property edge, a row of palms along a drive, or a natural buffer at the rear can stay in place if you define it. We build the scope around your retained-tree list, not a default cut-everything approach.
Forestry mulching processes standing vegetation — trees, brush, and smaller woody stems — into mulched material that remains on the ground surface. It does not extract stumps or sever root systems below grade; those roots stay in place. The mulched layer can reduce erosion and suppress regrowth for a period, but it does not constitute grading, compaction, or construction preparation. If your plans require bare, graded soil or stump removal, that work is scoped and priced separately. Mulching is well suited for access lanes, property boundary definition, or parcels where ground disturbance needs to stay minimal.
Compare the three clearing options →Brush and underbrush clearing targets low growth, vines, palmetto, and dense vegetation beneath a canopy or across an open lot. The method — cutting and hauling, or mulching in place — depends on what finish you need and what the access conditions allow. We do not assume one approach fits every parcel. A property where material needs to leave the site calls for a different process than one where processed cover on the ground is acceptable. Tell us the intended use after clearing and what you want the surface to look like; we quote accordingly.
The most useful thing you can tell us before an estimate is what you want to keep. Retained trees, fence lines, drainage swales, and structures all shape where equipment moves and what the clearing boundary looks like. A written scope locks that in before work starts, so there is no ambiguity about a tree near the drive or a row of vegetation along the neighbor's line. We write the scope around your priorities — access, a future build area, or simply getting overgrowth off a parcel you recently purchased. Bring your survey or a marked aerial if you have one.
Example only — not a past project or a representation of typical conditions here. Suppose an owner has a roughly two-acre lot inside the Town and wants an equipment access lane cleared to the rear of the property, with forestry mulching used along the lane and hand cutting used to remove low brush around a retained cluster of oaks near the front. Stumps along the lane are noted for separate quoting. The written scope would identify the lane width, the retained-tree locations, the mulching area, and the brush-cut boundary — each as a distinct line item so pricing is clear and work stops where the owner intended.
Request a property estimate →Forestry mulching and standard brush clearing do not address stumps or root systems below the soil surface. Larger-diameter logs, standing dead trees, and below-grade roots are scoped separately. We do not quote stump grinding depth, machine reach, or removal guarantees as part of a mulching or lot-clearing line item — those are distinct services with their own variables. If your intended use requires a cleared root zone or level surface where stumps once stood, flag that when you request the estimate. We scope it accurately rather than fold it silently into a clearing price.
Our pricing reflects the size of the clearing area, access conditions, how material is handled, and what the scope includes. Forestry mulching carries a project minimum of $1,200; other services are quoted individually. Mobilization, hauling, disposal, stump treatment, and any required permits are not silently included in a clearing price — each appears in writing if it applies to your job. The estimate process starts with the scope conversation: what you want cleared, what stays, and what the finished surface needs to support. We quote that scope in writing before any work begins.

Questions from property owners
The Town of Loxahatchee Groves has published its own vegetation-removal resource, separate from unincorporated Palm Beach County rules. If your parcel is inside Town limits, Town requirements are your starting point — not county defaults. Confirming which jurisdiction governs your specific lot before clearing begins protects you from applying the wrong process to a permit or removal question.
No. Forestry mulching processes above-ground vegetation and leaves root systems in place below grade. The mulched material stays on the surface. Stumps and below-grade roots are a separate scope item. If your plans require those removed, tell us at the estimate stage so we can quote that work accurately and include it in your written scope.
Lot clearing typically addresses the full parcel — trees, brush, and overgrowth — toward a more open surface. Brush clearing targets lower-growing vegetation and underbrush, sometimes beneath an existing tree canopy. Both can use cutting or mulching methods depending on the intended finish. The right choice depends on what you want the property to look like after the work is done.
You do not need to have permits resolved first. However, knowing your parcel's jurisdiction helps us write an accurate scope. The Town's vegetation-removal resource and the county's tree-removal instructions are starting points; the applicable rules depend on your specific lot. We can identify what questions to raise with the Town before work begins.
