Land Clearing, Mulching and Dirt Work Questions

Every lot is priced on its own, after we see it. Acreage and how thick the growth is move the price most. Stumps, wet ground, tight access and debris haul-off add to it. You get the free quote in writing before any work starts.

Yes. BW Clearing is licensed and insured. Ask any land clearing contractor that question before heavy machines go to work on your land.

We are based in Melbourne, and Brevard County is the core of our area. We also work the Treasure Coast, south through Sebastian and Vero Beach to Fort Pierce and Port St. Lucie. Inland, St. Cloud and the east side of Orange County are in range. See the full list of towns we cover.

That depends on the plan for the land. With forestry mulching, brush and small trees are ground up where they stand, and the mulch stays on the lot. Where the lot has to be bare for a pad or a driveway, we haul the debris off.

No, we pull them out. Stump grinding is a different service, and we do not offer it. Our land clearing work lifts stumps out with the tree puller or an excavator. The root system comes out, so nothing grows back from the stump.

Often, yes. Unincorporated Brevard County requires a land clearing permit unless an exemption applies. Inside Melbourne, the city's engineering department issues the land alteration permit for tree removal. Clearing within 25 feet of a gopher tortoise burrow needs an FWC permit first. We walk you through which permits apply to your lot.

The drier months, roughly November through April, usually give the firmest ground. By NOAA's climate normals, June through September bring more than half of Melbourne's yearly rain. On poorly drained lots, standing water and soft ground can slow heavy machines then. We plan the work around the ground on your lot.

Yes. Lot clearing comes first, with the stumps pulled out by the roots. Then we level the ground and spread fill where it is needed. We can build the dirt or gravel driveway too. A concrete contractor pours the slab, and a utility contractor does the underground work.

Yes. We build pole barns on a pad we clear and level first. Shops, garages, equipment storage, barns and barndominium shells are all on the list, with insulated options. Any concrete slab is poured by a concrete contractor.
