Forestry mulching, lot clearing, underbrush removal, fence line clearing, right-of-way and driveway clearing, and hunting tract management. All six services are run from the same locally owned operation, using the right equipment for each job.
Most residential lot clearing in the Tallahassee area runs $1,800 to $3,500 per acre, depending on vegetation density, access, and how close trees sit to structures. Rural tracts of 10 acres or more usually price lower per acre. You get a written quote after the free walkthrough.
A quarter-acre to half-acre residential lot usually finishes in one day. Five-acre rural parcels run one to two days. Densely overgrown acreage with mature trees can stretch longer. You get a time estimate at the walkthrough, in writing.
It depends on the scope. Clearing inside environmentally sensitive areas, tree protection zones, wetlands, or stormwater easements often requires a Leon County or City of Tallahassee permit. We walk you through which permits apply before you commit.
No. Selective forestry mulching is one of the few methods that lets you remove underbrush without damaging mature trees. We mark and protect every tree you want to preserve before the machine starts.
Tallahassee and the surrounding Big Bend: Leon, Gadsden, Wakulla, Jefferson, Liberty, and Madison counties. Jobs farther out get quoted with travel factored in, so you see the number up front.

No. Every walkthrough and written quote is free, with no deposit and no obligation. We come out, walk the property with you, and price the work in writing within 48 hours.
Three factors: vegetation density (how thick the brush and trees are), access (how easily we can get equipment in and out), and total area. We price per acre on most jobs and quote a flat number for smaller residential lots.
Four steps. You call or fill out the form, we schedule a free on-site walkthrough, we send a written quote within 48 hours, then we book your clearing day and finish with a final walkthrough and photos. No surprises in between.
Not the whole time. We do ask you to be there for the start-of-day briefing and the final walkthrough. Everything in between is on us.
Often yes. Our tracked equipment handles damp Florida soil better than wheeled machines. We reschedule for active flooding or severe weather, but normal summer afternoon storms are part of working here, so we work around them.
Most walkthroughs scheduled within the same week. Most jobs start within two to three weeks of the signed quote, depending on the season and the queue. Storm cleanup and emergency work move ahead of routine scheduling.
It stays on your property as a 2 to 6 inch ground cover that suppresses regrowth, reduces erosion, and breaks down naturally over 12 to 24 months. If you don't want it on-site, we can quote removal separately.
Tracked equipment puts less ground pressure on damp Florida soil than wheeled machines, so ruts and torn-up turf are rare. We protect driveways with mats when access requires it, and the final walkthrough covers any spot work before you sign off.
Yes. We carry current general liability and workers' compensation coverage and provide a certificate of insurance on request before any work begins. Any contractor who won't show you one shouldn't be on your property.
We help you identify which permits apply and coordinate with Leon County or City of Tallahassee on routine submissions. For larger commercial projects, the property owner or their site engineer typically pulls permits, and we work to their schedule.
You don't pay the balance until you sign off at the final walkthrough. If something on the property needs spot work, we handle it before we collect, not after. That's how a locally owned business stays in business.
The owner, Greg Helms, runs every job and operates the equipment on most of them. He's a retired Leon County Sheriff's Office deputy with 25 years of service. The person you meet at the walkthrough is the person on the machine when work starts.
