Brush Hog / Heavy Mowing in
Flagler County, FL

Brush mowing in Flagler County controls the rapid understory regrowth that characterizes the county's pine flatwoods and scrub communities. Our equipment cuts and mulches standing brush up to 4-inch diameter stems, restoring sight lines and access across overgrown parcels. Serving Palm Coast, Flagler Beach, Bunnell, Marineland, and 4 more communities across Flagler County.

Why Brush Hog / Heavy Mowing in Flagler County

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.

Flagler's warm, humid climate produces aggressive regrowth on previously cleared lots—a particular headache for out-of-state landowners who purchased Palm Coast lots decades ago and now face county code violations. Brush mowing is also the primary maintenance tool for the county's extensive network of drainage swales and utility easements.

Flagler County occupies a narrow strip between the Atlantic Ocean and the western pine flatwoods, with most development concentrated on the former ITT Community Development Corporation grid that became Palm Coast. Interior areas west of US-1 consist of poorly drained pine flatwoods interspersed with cypress domes and freshwater marsh, while the coastal ridge supports scrub oak and sand pine communities on well-drained sandy soils. The Intracoastal Waterway bisects the county's eastern third, separating the barrier island from the mainland hammock.

Palm Coast's ongoing buildout of its massive pre-platted grid creates steady demand for residential lot clearing, as thousands of empty parcels sold decades ago are now being developed. Agricultural-to-residential conversion west of Bunnell along SR-100 is accelerating as the county approves new planned unit developments. Fire mitigation clearing around homes in the Hammock and Pine Lakes subdivisions is a priority given Flagler's history of wildfire events, including the 2022 fires that threatened hundreds of structures. Waterfront property owners along the Intracoastal require selective clearing and mangrove trimming under strict regulatory guidelines. Flagler County's population nearly doubled between 2010 and 2024, making it one of the fastest-growing counties in the southeastern United States. Palm Coast continues to issue over 2,000 residential building permits annually, and the extension of commercial development along Palm Coast Parkway is generating demand for larger-scale site preparation.

Environmental Considerations in Flagler County

Flagler County's Coastal Construction Control Line regulations govern all clearing activity seaward of the CCCL, requiring DEP permits for vegetation removal in dune and coastal strand zones. Gopher tortoise surveys are mandatory on sandy upland parcels before clearing can begin, with the county enforcing a minimum 25-foot undisturbed buffer around confirmed burrows pending relocation. The county also falls within the North Atlantic right whale critical habitat zone, which restricts certain coastal construction timing. Freshwater wetlands associated with Graham Swamp and Haw Creek require St. Johns River Water Management District permits for any encroachment.

Protected species: Flagler County is home to Gopher tortoise, Florida scrub-jay, Eastern indigo snake, Wood stork, Least tern, Bald eagle, North Atlantic right whale, Anastasia Island beach mouse. Pre-clearing wildlife surveys may be required depending on habitat type and project scope.

Waterways & buffers: Properties near Intracoastal Waterway, Haw Creek, Pellicer Creek, Graham Swamp, Bulow Creek, Smith Creek, Matanzas River, Dead Lake may require setback buffers and water management district permits. TreeShop works within all required buffer zones.

Soil conditions: The dominant soils in Palm Coast and the coastal zone are Pomona and Immokalee fine sands, both characterized by a spodic horizon that creates a perched water table during wet months. Upland scrub ridges near Bunnell sit on Paola and Astatula fine sands with rapid permeability, while the western flatwoods are underlain by Placid and Basinger sands that remain saturated for much of the year.
