- Went up to Crystal River to open up a 1.2 acre property for a client. They will be building a beautiful home here. Currently they are active duty military in North Carolina.
Stay tuned as we will be back for some excavation work which you will not want to miss.
In the house my husband and I are under contract for they neglected their yard for so long and if we get the house we're gonna have to do all of this 🙃
Awesome! Hopefully y’all get the house then! 🤞🏻
Same here my back yard is a jungle.
first time watching this kind of video. I'm impressed. That machine is a BEAST.
Glad you liked it!
That’s just a small machine wait til you see a 299
Built several homes in Florida and always directed the clearing of the land. Always taped off green belts of trees for wild life cover and saved as many trees as possible. The clearing of the property was always my favorite part of the build.
Good for you David. It's actually kind of sad watching the destruction of these natural habitats, it's reassuring to read your comments about how you preserve what you can. After watching this, and reading your comments, I decided I'm also going to direct the clearing.
Why did you save the trees?
I’m a big fan of mulching videos. Nice to see a channel from Florida.
Thank you.
Dude!!! This thing is baller!!! You took out an entire tree and all those ground palms, that attachment is sweet.
Why is so satisfying to watch land get cleared? LOL!
Haha, I know right! We just cleared our 4 acres of our 18 and it was so satisfying seeing it cleared selectively while keeping our nice oak and magnolia trees! We posted it in our RUclips Channel!
Agreed
💯
I hate it. I only watch to get my aggression going for working out. I live in NE Florida which is being destroyed by endless subdivisions.
If find it very depressing I absolutely hate people clearing land.
Nice work bro
Rattlesnakes!! You is one brave man. I am enjoying seeing how this land clearing is done. Can’t wait to have my yard remedied soon with thick brushes.
One of the most satisfying things to watch with the skid steers removing brush. From Zephyrhills, you just earned a new subscriber.
Thank you I needed to see this video so I know how to approach clearing my land❤
Yes!!! Live near crystal river, ocala. Glad to know you go to these areas. Will be contacting you in a few months for price 🤗
That's not a rattler, brother, that's a moccasin.
Great job ! Really did it fast
Wait till you see some of the upcoming videos. New machine is faster and better quality mulch and we are working on getting an even bigger machine too
Awesome video, just the content I was looking for.
Liked it just for the pro hack! Nice video.
🤙🏻🤙🏻
I respect your work the man yah mon
I just bought an unrestricted corner lot in Texas so I'm so excited.
Nice job! Have to do soon to 5 acres I bought next to my place here in crystal River..
Love the crystal river area!
holy cow - just saw this video and wouldn't you know it you're at Crystal River. That's where I live!
My wife said "that wham, bam, thank you ma'm comment offended me... We're gonna need your tractor" 😂
Seriously cool piece of equipment. We have about 3 acres of our 6.5 outside Green Cove Springs that could really use a clean up...
Lol I have a ton of little sayings. Don’t even remember when I said that in the video 😂
Shoot me a text or give me a call at (386)843-5266 and I’d be glad to speak with you regarding the project.
Need this done in Central Florida!
Went to your website and glad to see you’re in Deland. Just submitted a request to chat.
Cost?
Great video man I'm fixing to get into the same business trying to get same business with a brush mulcher keep us updated man Love the video
Man that mulcher don’t mess around it gets the job done!!!
Our new mulcher is even better
Great Video Thanks 😊
Man you are a 1 man show!!!! I wish you was in Georgia!!!
I am pushing into Georgia this year. Already have a few projects we are planning
Great video! We probably would have chopped that snake up 😬
Hello from Suwannee County Florida
On those 4 chains keep in mind that they do not count as 4 chains per DOT requirements for securement they count as a half chain because they only pull one direction and not all the way across. Great idea and I would do the same but just make sure you are not short a chain for the weight of your machinery.
Nice job man
Nice job 👍
Thanks for not killing the snake
Very cool brotha
Wow! not only do you make it look easy but it looks like awesome fun! A bit like shaving someones head with sheers but its the earth.
Might need to call you when we buy our land. It will be around Crystal River.
Awesome! I look forward to hearing from you. 5% off for RUclips subscribers!
How much does it cost
New video on pricing will be coming out soon
You’re so kind! Lol
12:06 that’s exactly why I always worry when I see lands like these 😂😂😂
*Clearing land for New Home in Florida: It's Not as Difficult as You Think! showcases the process of land clearing for new home construction in Florida. The video highlights the different types of equipment used and the techniques employed to remove trees, shrubs, and other obstacles to make way for new homes. The video also emphasizes the importance of hiring a professional land clearing service and obtaining necessary permits to ensure the process is done safely and legally. It's an informative video that provides a glimpse into the world of land clearing and home construction.*
Well… if that’s not the best video description idk what is. Thank you
When you was starting I was saying man there's some critters in there and then you show the snake.
I plan on clearing some land here in Florida myself, thanks for the helpful video. Say how much does it cost to rent machinery like that ?
More than it would cost to hire us 🤙🏻 call Lacey at 386-843-5266
Great
very relaxing
Amazing!!!
Your lucky you can rent a mulcher. In pa I was told they won't rent them bc people might break mulcher. You can rent the skid steer with other attachments. If I lived in jersey you can rent them no problem. They are everywhere. So I had to just roll over the brambles in my skid steer. Then scrape up with a grapple. Luckily only 3 trees down, most was 8ft tall brambles.
I don’t recommend renting. The mulchers they rent out are typically open faced drums running carbides for reliability to protect from bad operators and those heads are just annoying to run. Almost always more cost effective to just hire in a professional.
Planning on renting one and cleaning up part of my lot. I was quoted $1800 for an area of approximately 120x100. I believe that I can rent for much less. Yes, I do have experience operating heavy equipment.
Not in Florida you’re not renting for less than that. ~$2500 in equipmemt and fuel fees. Plus labor and insurance
But just keep the head down in the work area and take your time. It’s more about feel than anything so listen to the hydraulics and you’ll be good.
I live in Arkansas.
Most Herc Rentals have taks with fecons. Your cat dealer will rent and sometimes I’ve seen bobcat dealers rent too
I cringe at the thought of it 😂
I would just mulch next to it as close as I can and then put the root rake on and plow it all into a pile. Burn it and then scoop the metal up and dispose of it.
Nice job!
That's how I tie down the nifty lift and mini skid. One strap on each corner, so much easier then running full length all the way across the trailer.
On those 4 chains keep in mind that they do not count as 4 chains per DOT requirements for securement they count as a half chain because they only pull one direction and not all the way across. Great idea and I would do the same but just make sure you are not short a chain for the weight of your machinery.
Nice! Work near jax? & your job sounds fun! Play with big toys!!
Yes we love working in North Florida. Our machines are bigger and more productive than this one too now 💪🏻💪🏻
I love your work, will you come to Naples. Mulch one 390x390 lot
Oh heck ya !! I am about to start clearing 5 acres in Bronson FL .....with a DR mower. I would LOVE to have one of those. I suspect though, the DR mower is a little more cost effective LOL
Your chain idea is a good idea but illegal in several states
I'm from Rhode Island and I'm considering entering into the kind of work you are doing. Wondering if you'd be willing to share how much you charge the customer and how long this job took you. And, do you feel like you made money or you should have charged more?
Literally built an app for pricing work called TreeAi Forestry. Can get it at TreeAi.US. Otherwise join Tree Shop Nation on Facebook. All the information you need is there or in my 100+ RUclips videos
Hey brother, I’m in Dixie County. Old Town area. Love you style. No bs, get the job done. Do you work in that area. I know you’ve been around Gainesville. Let me know man. Thanks. Keep up with the channel! Great stuff!!
Thank you for the support. Yea we work in Old Town a lot.
That’s awesome. I will definitely get in touch when I come down next time. Thanks brother!
A 360 action camera would of been great in certain shots 📸
Nice setup. Waiting for mine. Did you need a CDL for your track and trailer for the weight? I’m wondering what trailer I should get. Thanks
Yes technically a CDL would be required.
It’s hard to find a setup that doesn’t require a CDL because of weights.
@@TheTreeShop yeah. I was hoping I didn’t have to. I’ll just stick to back roads. Lol
Hello awesome job man! I am about to buy some land I am definitely going need similar services. How much does it cost per acre?
Depends on what package your looking at, but $2500-$3000 per acre is target low side
I am in Jacksonville and just built a house on a preserve. I need a space cleared 15x15 to fit the kids trampoline what would the price be approximately? There are no more trees as they all fell into the preserve at the last storm it's just a bunch of tree roots and stumps.
Admire what you're doing. But I have a couple of questions. How much HP in your machine? Have you considered getting a bigger machine?
Currently my machine is at 74. By end of year it will be turned up a bit. That being said. Yes a bigger machine is in the plan but it will be a dedicated. The jump to a 100hp skid steer in price doesn’t equal enough of a production increase for the extra costs to be worthwhile. In the next video that comes out tomorrow I believe you will see the new head we got that allows us to mulch 1.5-2 acres a day. At that rate the low operating weight of the 259 is more of an advantage than the extra HP and few thousand pounds extra of a large frame skid steer.
I'm on a budget and would be trying to do it myself because I can't afford to pay out right and no one does payments. My property is in Interlochen FL in Putnam county FL
I understand. We do have financing options that Lacey can work with you on.
@@TheTreeShop I will give you guys a call tomorrow I tried to email you the info but it said it wasn't a valid email. That way I can get you the parcel number
How can I hire your services for a 5 acres in dunnellon FL? Thanks
Email me at office@fltreeshop.com
Thanks
What is the name of the equipment your using. I need to know where to rent one. I did to use one to clear out some land that's on my property.
It’s called a forestry Mulcher . Due to the high purchase price, high maintenance requirements, and operational skill requirements… I do recommend hiring a professional. It is 100% of the time more affordable and safer with a higher quality final product to simply hire a top professional. I may even have someone in your state you can call. What state are you in?
@@TheTreeShop CT
How much do you typically make for a job like this? Thank you
What is that mulching tool called?
Will you come to Port Charlotte. Mulch one 80 X 145 Lot and part of 160 X 145 Lot.
Yes sir. Shoot me a text with your info and I’ll get you an estimate sent over!
(386) 843-5266
Thanks
What are land clearing average rates . Heard 1000-3000 a day depending on the situation? Got called out for a 1 acre full of thin trees to cut down🤔
Join Tree Shop Nation on Facebook and then repost your question there. 🤙🏻
Start at 6:50
Nice work!!! Quick question….What app are you using for property info? Looks much simpler than what I’m using.
HuntWise pro
@@TheTreeShop Thanks a bunch!!! I will definitely start using it, looks much easier than the public records mapping tools I’ve been using here in SC. They work, just nowhere near as fast. I’m sure you’ve been there lol.
I see that you mulch all the way to the ground…. What about it if U have a rocky ground?
If rocks are a likely hazard like in the north and out west, they make every durable carbide tools for the mulchers. I run knives because my vegetation and hazards allow it. We wreck knives still though sometimes😂
I think I gotta do this myself unless I can find someone cheaper than I.
Awesome work and video, I have a question tho, when cutting down the small trees 🌳 do they grow back since the roots are still in the grown?
Most species do not. Some will like the camphor tree and Brazilian pepper. Only way to kill them completely is to remove stump and roots from the ground.
Thank you
Hallo bro!!
what type of sked steer is this?
Great video man, have you stuck to just land clearing or sinuous also do other jobs? I’m looking at buying one and starting a business. What’s a realistic income potential here in Fl? Id app you’d feedback. Thanks
Shoot me a message on Instagram. RUclips commenting sucks 😂
We only do forestry mulching and land clearing on the equipment side.
How much would you charge for 2 lots from probably the length and width for both ahhh maybe 1000 to 1000ft
That’s like 23 acres (+/-) just give me a call/text at 386-843-5266
This was one street over from mine before we moved to Tennessee, I saw you cutting it, I was cutting a lawn on the same street. I'm thinking about doing the mulching up here any chance you would walk me through a few questions?
Shoot me a message on IG. That’s where I have those conversations
@@TheTreeShop I'm not finding you over there mine is @forgivenveteran or if you want to give me yours. Thank you very much
I late you useing the hm 210 mulcher? And how hot did your hydraulics get ?
That is a hm215c and it’s about as bad as you can get. Temps were fine never had issues really. Only times I did was because of bad couplers. Head is very unproductive and I do not recommend it or any cat head in fact.
How much you charge to clear 1 acre in Avon Park? No big trees, just bushes. I would love to do it myself but I lack the equipment
Give Lacey a call at (386)843-5266 and she can get that estimate sent over for ya
Around November 1st 2022 I will have my .18 acre piece of land paid off and I will need to do that to my property. Where can I rent one of those mulcher things?
You can’t rent for the price we can do it for. But if you insist you can go to Herc, CAT, Bobcat, and even Kubota maybe.
@@TheTreeShop how would I get an estimate to have an idea how much I need to save up between now and the time I pay it off in November? I have the parcel number for it but can't stay on it until final payment is made.
Email us at office@fltreeshop.com just need contact information and parcel ID
I need some advice, I bought a lot(about .53 acres) near a lake a year ago for investment that's filled with trees and I want to get started on developing it for putting a house on. Would it be better to just try to clear it myself or hire a crew to clear it or should I do something else first?
I always recommend hiring professionals as it will get the job done faster and typically for less than if you do it yourself.
That being said it’s also fun to do this work sometimes.
I have a question what is this machine call the thing that ripped all the trees?
Forestry Mulcher
what type of machine is this?
It will be my first time doing it by myself, what kind of equipment do you think is better for clean a lot , and where can I rent it , 👍
The best equipment to use is the kind of equipment you are good at operating safely and productively. Way to many things can go wrong fast, mechanical and safety things, for me to just recommend anything.
Do you get stuck a lot? Like in mud?
I have totally mulched the wrong property line before. Not good lol
How much time did it took?
What app did you use to pull up the satellite view?
HuntWise, LandGlide, and google earth
Hey I need to get in touch with u, I have a property that need mulching too it’s about the same amount of acres.
Shoot me a text at 386-843-5266
👍❤️👍❤️
Just curious how much a 1/4 acre lot would cost? Just Ballpark figure Harbour Heights Florida (Charlotte County)
You can reach Lacey in the office at 386-843-5266. Just call or text her and get the property information and she can get you an estimate sent over for your project. Thank you!
When doing 😊this does it leave stumps poking out of the ground from the smaller trees?
No the stumps are ground smooth with grade
What happens if you get the front caught in old fence line?
A bad day. I carry several cutting tools including a torch to cut anything out. Fence, wheels, cables, rebar, run into lots of metal stuff all over the place. I don’t get stuck often, but when I do I knew I shouldn’t have done it and typically it’s from rushing so I don’t get stuck that much anymore.
great video, light work of the bushes and trees. whats the cost to do maybe .35 acre?
Do you recommend mulching or just using regular bucket of skid steer to clear overgrown back yard ? I want to put grass seed when done…so is mulching fine?
mulch it. let it dry out, throw grass seed down and water like hell. needs to be mulched good.
I have land in Crystal River I am about to build a tiny house. It's an acre and a half. Gonna Try to get a quote for clearing my land. Let me know if your interested. Thanks
We would be glad to help you out. Give Lacey a call in the office at (386)843-5266 or fltreeshop.com
Man I need this done on my property. Do you guys charge per square footage or what?
We charge by the acre.
Is there a place to rent this equipment? If not how much to do 1/4 acre in palm bay?
I have a wooded property in very sandy central Florida. I'd like to partially clear it, compact it and drop in a bunch of #57 in the form of a driveway to a clearing patch in the middle. But not just compact enough to drive over, but also a base for an eventual foundation for small/lightweight metal frame single story offgrid house. Is this possible and are their specific requirements I need to meet in Florida?
Yes there are code requirements depending on the zoning the land is located on. Typically we just bring in shell and use that as the base/stabilizer as it is much more effective and doesn’t disappear like a 57 stone will in the sand.
Office@fltreeshop.com is the best way to get ahold of me. Shoot me an email with your address and info and I’ll pull the property up and then I can get you more specifics
This is fun to watch, I didn't even know such equipment exist lol How much does it cost for 0.5 to 1 acre? For the past few weeks, I have been looking for small size of land for my future retirement in Fl. And yes, I did hit the subscribe button and like lol
Mulching is a relatively new vegetation management solution.
Standard pricing starts at $2500 and adjusts up and down depending on project scope of work.
Thanks for the subscribe! Lots of new content in the works!
2500 for .5 or 1?
$2500 for 1 was what it was this long ago.
@@TheTreeShop thanks man. Im looking to get into business out here in central fl myself. I just finished watching your other video with you going over numbers lol. Do you leave it all chipped? Or do you got back and grub? I seem to be doing it very different in the companies i worked for/with
Wow I have a 1.25 acre property in New York that is covered in ivy and small treelings and bushes . to clear all of it as well as two large trees I was quoted at 13,000
I wouldn't have to have worried about stepping on a rattlesnake because he would have gotten mulched up soon as I seen it.
Yea normally all I find are little chunks of snake
I need that exact same thing done in Okeechobee fl. On a 1-1/4 acre. What does that cost roughly?
For pricing please text me at 386-843-5266 and provide property data so I can get you your quote sent out.
You do a great job. How long does it take to clear half an acre? I'm thinking of getting your services when I buy the land
Thank you! Half an acre is roughly 4-5 hours depending on density of vegetation
What would you consider a decent price range for an acre that with a lot of pines and oaks?
The state really can effect the price but a good average would be $2500-$3000 (+/-)
@@TheTreeShop I’m in Florida. I’m hank you so much, this is a great reference point.
