Forestry Mulching
The disc mulcher on our skid steer grinds palmetto and small trees into mulch where they stand. The wood stays on the lot, and the ground stays covered.

A pole barn stands on large wood posts instead of stud walls, so the floor inside stays open. BW Clearing builds pole barn shops, garages, barns and equipment storage around Melbourne and Brevard County. We also put up agricultural buildings and barndominium shells, with insulated options available. Each building is custom, sized around what you plan to keep inside.
Your building may start on a lot full of palmetto and pine. Our land clearing services pull out the trees and roots, and then we level the building pad. Before any of it, we talk through what the building is for and what it needs to hold up to. On the Space Coast, that means heavy summer rain and hurricane season.
Tell us about the lot or acreage, the work you need and where it is. We look at the job and put a free quote in writing.
A pole barn is an engineered wood frame carried on large posts or laminated columns, the way the national association for these buildings describes it.
Those posts carry the load to the ground or to a concrete pier, so the inside needs no load-bearing walls. On a home lot, that open floor works as a shop or a garage. On acreage, the same frame becomes a barn or a shed for the tractor.
We show up with professional equipment and quality materials. The same company clears your lot and builds on it, so the pad fits the building it carries.
It starts with a plan for the lot. Our site preparation work settles where the building sits and how trucks reach it. The plan sets what stays and what goes before a single tree comes down. Unincorporated Brevard County's code calls for a land clearing permit before clearing starts, unless the job is exempt.
Then the skid steer clears the footprint and a work area around it, roots and all. Myakka sand, the most widely mapped soil in Brevard County, is a poorly drained flatwoods sand. In most years, its water table sits within 18 inches of the surface for 1 to 4 months. Our lot leveling and dirt work raises the pad with fill so it sheds rain.
Setting posts in the ground means digging. Florida law calls for a Sunshine 811 notice at least 2 full business days before digging starts. Floodplain rules apply even to farm buildings that are exempt from the building code. FEMA's flood map lets you look up your flood zone by address before the pad height is set.
A barndominium is a home built inside a barn-style shell. We build the pole barn shell on a pad we clear and level. An electrician and a plumber run the wiring and the pipes, and other trades finish the inside.
Because people live in it, a barndominium goes through the building permit process like any new house. The farm building exemption in Florida law leaves out any building meant to be lived in. In unincorporated Brevard County, a new home's permit also needs a site drainage plan.
Insulated options are available for shops and barndominium shells. The same trade association notes that wider post spacing leaves deeper wall cavities for insulation. Federal climate normals give Melbourne about 63 days a year at 90 degrees or hotter. Insulation slows the heat that builds inside a closed building on days like that.

We settle the plan for your lot, and we walk you through which permits apply to it. Florida law calls for a Sunshine 811 notice at least 2 full business days before digging starts.
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.
