Working the Fields and Fence Rows East of Tampa
Drive out I-4 past the county line traffic and the landscape changes: strawberry fields, cattle pasture, old groves and stands of slash pine and oak hammock. Farm owners in this area usually call us for practical jobs. Typical requests include clearing a fence row that has filled in with cherry laurel and vines, removing oaks that shade a growing field, or knocking back brush along drainage ditches so water moves after a heavy summer rain.
For these jobs our compact track loader with a forestry mulcher head is often the most efficient tool. Forestry mulching grinds brush and small trees in place and leaves a layer of mulch on the ground, which helps hold sandy soil and means there is no burn pile to manage.
Growth Along I-4, US-92 and SR-39
Plant City sits between Tampa and Lakeland, and that location keeps bringing new homes, warehouses and commercial sites. When a parcel changes from farm use to construction, the ground needs more than a mow. Our land clearing removes trees and stumps, and site preparation gets the pad area cleared and graded so the builder can move in.
Larger rural lots often need a way in before anything else happens. We build and grade access roads so trucks, trailers and equipment can reach a back field or a future homesite without getting stuck after the rainy season.
Trees Around the Farmhouse and in Town
Not everything here is acreage. Historic downtown Plant City and neighborhoods such as Walden Lake have mature oaks and palms around homes, sheds and pools. We handle tree removal for dead or leaning trees, prune limbs away from roofs and power drops, and grind the stumps afterward.
- Old live oaks and water oaks next to farmhouses and barns
- Pines killed by beetles or lightning that are now a hazard
- Storm-damaged trees across driveways and pasture fences
We also serve neighbors toward Seffner and across the county line in Lakeland.
Dry Season Brush and Summer Storm Seasons
Two seasons shape rural work around Plant City. In the dry months of late winter and spring, tall grass, palmetto and dead brush near barns and equipment sheds become fuel, so many owners ask us to cut wide cleared buffers and haul off piles. Then the summer storms arrive with lightning and gusty squalls that drop pines across fences and farm roads. We cut up the fallen timber, move logs with the wheel loader and grapple, and leave pasture ready for cattle again.
