Collier County is the largest county by land area in Florida, spanning from the Gulf of Mexico coastline and its mangrove Ten Thousand Islands east through cypress swamps, pine flatwoods, and dry prairies into the western edge of the Everglades. The coastal strip around Naples and Marco Island features barrier islands, tidal passes, and mangrove estuaries. TreeShop LLC provides professional land clearing, forestry mulching, and site preparation across Collier County — serving Naples, Marco Island, Immokalee, Golden Gate, Ave Maria, and 5 more communities.
Naples luxury residential development drives high-value clearing on waterfront and golf course parcels where selective, precision work is required to preserve specimen trees and comply with stringent landscaping codes. Golden Gate Estates—a 173-square-mile subdivision originally platted in the 1960s—generates steady residential lot clearing demand as property owners build on long-held vacant parcels. Immokalee's agricultural sector requires clearing for grove renovation, packing house expansion, and transitioning between crop types. Ave Maria, the planned university town east of Immokalee, continues phased development that requires large-scale clearing of flatwoods and palmetto prairie.
Forestry mulcher heads grind trees, brush, and woody vegetation up to 8 inches in diameter. Mulch stays on-site as ground cover — no hauling, no burning.
Full-scale clearing with excavators and track loaders. Standard full loadout at $5,000/day, finish and detail work at $2,875/day. Complete site preparation for construction or development.
High-capacity rotary mowing for overgrown fields, pastures, and grassy lots. Ideal for tall grass, weeds, and light brush that doesn't require forestry mulching equipment.
Below-grade stump removal for build-ready or landscape-ready sites. $450 minimum per visit. Most stumps take 15-30 minutes depending on size and root structure.
Quarterly to annual regrowth control for previously cleared properties. Scheduled return visits with forestry mulching or mowing equipment to protect your clearing investment.
Targeted removal of Brazilian pepper, melaleuca, Australian pine, and other invasive vegetation. Selective clearing that preserves desirable native trees and landscape.
Restore overgrown pasture and agricultural land to productive use. Mulch the overgrowth, grind stumps at grade, and leave a surface ready for seeding or fencing.
Site grading, drainage swales, retention areas, foundation prep, driveway cuts, and earth moving. Proper water management for Florida's flat terrain and high water table.
Complete removal of land clearing debris through hauling, on-site burning, chipping, or grinding. We handle the full lifecycle — clear the land, then clean it up.
Collier County is the largest county by land area in Florida, spanning from the Gulf of Mexico coastline and its mangrove Ten Thousand Islands east through cypress swamps, pine flatwoods, and dry prairies into the western edge of the Everglades. The coastal strip around Naples and Marco Island features barrier islands, tidal passes, and mangrove estuaries. Inland, the Golden Gate Estates subdivision covers over 170 square miles of low-lying flatwoods laced with drainage canals. The eastern two-thirds of the county is largely undeveloped, encompassing Big Cypress National Preserve, Florida Panther National Wildlife Refuge, and Fakahatchee Strand Preserve State Park. The agricultural hub of Immokalee sits on slightly elevated sandy ridges surrounded by citrus groves and vegetable fields.
Naples consistently ranks among the wealthiest communities in the United States, and luxury home construction on cleared lots in Pelican Bay, Grey Oaks, and Talis Park sustains premium clearing demand. Golden Gate Estates lot sales have accelerated as buyers priced out of Naples proper seek more affordable acreage with rural character. Ave Maria has expanded from its university core into a full-service community, with multiple new neighborhoods under active development. Collier County's severe melaleuca and Brazilian pepper infestations generate ongoing invasive removal contracts.
Collier County contains some of the most environmentally regulated land in the United States. The Florida panther's primary habitat spans the county's eastern wildlands, and any clearing project in panther consultation zones requires U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service review under the Endangered Species Act. CREW (Corkscrew Regional Ecosystem Watershed) Land Trust manages thousands of acres of conservation land, and development adjacent to these preserves faces strict compatibility requirements. The county's Growth Management Plan channels most development to the Urban Designated Area west of the Rural Fringe, with Rural Lands Stewardship credits required for eastern development. Mangrove and sea grass protections along the coast are rigorously enforced.
Soil: Naples and the coastal strip rest on Hallandale and Boca fine sands—shallow soils over limestone bedrock with seasonal high water tables at or near the surface. Golden Gate Estates features Holopaw, Pineda, and Riviera fine sands that are poorly drained and subject to flooding during wet season. The Immokalee agricultural area sits on Immokalee and Oldsmar fine sands with deeper water tables that support irrigated agriculture. Big Cypress soils are primarily Ochopee and Brickell marls in flooded strands, with Copeland fine sandy loams on hammock islands.

Collier County requires a vegetation removal permit for any clearing activity and enforces one of Florida's most stringent tree protection ordinances, with mitigation ratios that can reach three-to-one for canopy tree removal. The county's Land Development Code mandates retention of fifteen percent native vegetation on residential sites and twenty-five percent on commercial properties. South Florida Water Management District Environmental Resource Permits are required for virtually all clearing projects given the county's extensive wetlands. Federal consultation under the Endangered Species Act applies throughout panther habitat zones, which cover most of the county east of I-75.
