Debris Removal in Melbourne, FL

Debris Removal · Melbourne, FL

The debris hauled off, the ground left smooth

Debris removal is the cleanup that follows land clearing in Melbourne and across Brevard County. Every clearing job leaves waste on the ground: whole trees, limbs, root balls, rock and rubble. Some of it can stay on the lot. Many times it has to go, and BW Clearing hauls it off.

We can bundle debris removal with our land clearing work or take it on as its own job. Trees pulled during lot clearing come out with their root balls, and we haul those off too. After a hurricane, downed trees and limbs on a lot are part of the same work. We haul debris for homeowners, landowners, farms and businesses.

What We Handle

  • Trees and limbs from land clearing loaded and hauled off the lot
  • Root balls and stumps from tree pulling hauled off with the rest
  • Rock and rubble turned up by clearing removed from the property
  • Storm debris removal after a hurricane: downed trees and heavy limbs
  • Yard debris such as brush piles and fallen limbs cleared out
  • Debris removal bundled with land clearing or booked as its own job
  • Mulch left on site where the plan for the lot allows it
  • A smooth surface left behind, ready for construction

What Debris Removal Covers on a Brevard County Lot

Most of the debris from clearing a lot here is wood. Lots often hold slash pine, cabbage palm, live oak and saw palmetto. When they come down, the trunks and root clumps pile up fast.

Clearing also turns up rock and rubble. The tree puller lifts old fence posts and shrubs out of the ground whole. We load all of it and haul it off the property.

Debris left sitting on a lot causes trouble. A dry brush pile is fuel for a fire, and rotting wood draws insects. Under Brevard County's code, land clearing debris that leaves a site goes to a permitted solid waste facility. The code also says a haul load must be packed so debris cannot drop or blow off.

Should Clearing Debris Be Hauled Off or Mulched in Place?

Some of the waste can stay. With forestry mulching, the disc mulcher grinds standing trees and brush into mulch where they grow. The mulch stays put and covers the ground. That works well along trails and fence lines.

Under a new building, the wood has to go. Florida's residential building code calls for all vegetation, stumps, dead roots and trash to be removed from the foundation area. The rule sits in the code's section on termites. Your builder or the local building department can tell you what your lot needs.

We settle what stays and what goes with you before the machines start. On a big lot, the back acreage can keep its mulch while the house pad gets hauled clean. That plan is part of our site preparation work.

Storm and Yard Debris Removal on the Space Coast

The Atlantic hurricane season runs June 1 to November 30. A storm can drop whole trees and heavy limbs across a yard or a farm road. We handle storm debris removal like clearing debris: we load it and haul it off.

Yard debris removal works the same way for brush piles and fallen limbs. If the ground around a pile is overgrown, we can mow a path to it first.

Call or text (904) 719-0443 once the storm has passed. Tell us what came down and where it landed on the property.

Call or text

Call or text (904) 719-0443 and tell us where the land is and what you plan to do with it. A rough size helps too.

We look at the land

We come out to see the growth and how the machines can reach it. Then we put your free quote in writing.

The machine work

The disc mulcher and the brush mower take the growth down. The tree puller lifts trees and stumps out of the ground, roots and all. An excavator comes in for ponds and lot leveling.

We haul the debris off or leave the mulch on the ground, whichever you chose. You get back a smooth lot, ready for the build or the pasture.

FAQ

Debris Removal Questions, Answered

Common questions about debris removal around Melbourne and the rest of the Space Coast. If yours is not here, call or text and ask.

Call (904) 719-0443

How much does debris removal cost?
The price depends on how much debris there is and what kind it is. Root balls and rock take more work to load than limbs and brush. Machine access and wet summer ground matter too, and mulching some brush in place shrinks the haul. We look at the job and give you a free quote in writing.
Do you haul away household junk?
No. Our debris removal covers yard debris like limbs and brush, plus what land clearing and storms leave on a lot. Old furniture and household trash go to a junk hauler. Debris from tearing down a house or a building is not our work either.
Can I burn the brush pile instead of hauling it?
Under Florida law, burning a pile of land clearing debris needs an authorization from the Florida Forest Service first. A residential pile must sit at least 300 feet from other occupied buildings and 100 feet from paved public roads. On a house lot with homes close by, debris removal is the simpler route.
What does the ground look like when you finish?
We leave behind a smooth surface that is ready for construction. If the lot still needs leveling or fill spread, our excavating and dirt work picks up from there. Tell us the plan for the lot, and we can quote both together.
Will the county pick up my storm debris?
Your county or city sets its own rules for storm debris pickup at the road. In Brevard County, the solid waste department posts them online. Downed trees deep on a lot, or debris from clearing work, are the kind we clear and haul.
Do you offer debris removal near me?
We are based in Melbourne and work across Brevard County and about 150 miles out. That takes in Palm Bay, Titusville, Vero Beach, Port St. Lucie and St. Cloud. Call or text (904) 719-0443 with your address, and we will tell you if it is in range.
