Pronounced karst landscape with the Brooksville Ridge running north-south through the county's interior, creating some of the highest elevations on the Florida peninsula (up to 300 feet). Sinkholes, caves, and solution valleys are common features. TreeShop LLC provides professional land clearing, forestry mulching, and site preparation across Hernando County County — serving Brooksville, Spring Hill, Weeki Wachee, Ridge Manor, Garden Grove, and 3 more communities.
Residential subdivision clearing in the Spring Hill growth corridor, individual lot clearing on Brooksville Ridge properties, commercial development along US 19 and SR 50 (Cortez Boulevard), rural homesite clearing in eastern Ridge Manor and Masaryktown areas, scrub and sandhill habitat mitigation clearing, fire fuel reduction on wildland-urban interface parcels, and clearing overgrown lots in existing Spring Hill subdivisions.
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.
Pronounced karst landscape with the Brooksville Ridge running north-south through the county's interior, creating some of the highest elevations on the Florida peninsula (up to 300 feet). Sinkholes, caves, and solution valleys are common features. The western coastal lowlands slope gradually toward the Gulf of Mexico through salt marsh and tidal creek systems. Eastern Hernando transitions to lower flatwoods and the Withlacoochee River floodplain. Sand pine scrub occupies the highest and driest ridge positions.
Rapid residential construction in Spring Hill driven by Tampa Bay metro affordability refugees, Suncoast Parkway extension improving access and driving commercial development, Brooksville Ridge infill development on remaining vacant parcels, continued outward growth of the Tampa Bay metropolitan area, retiree community expansion, and infrastructure upgrades (road widening, water/sewer extension) opening new areas to building.
Weeki Wachee Springs is a first-magnitude spring with designated springshed protection requiring enhanced stormwater treatment. The Chassahowitzka Springs group to the south has similar protections. Chinsegut Hill and associated conservation lands preserve scrub and sandhill habitat on the Brooksville Ridge. Coastal areas fall within the Coastal High Hazard Area with density restrictions. Sinkhole activity is among the highest in Florida, influencing building setbacks and stormwater design. SWFWMD's Northern Tampa Bay Water Use Caution Area applies.
Soil: Brooksville and Hernando fine sands on the well-drained limestone ridge. Nobleton and Blichton loamy sands where limestone is near the surface. Quartzipsamments and Candler sands on deep sand ridge crests. Myakka and EauGallie fine sands in poorly drained flatwoods of eastern sections. Wulfert muck and tidal soils along the Gulf coast. The Brooksville Ridge produces the most variable subsurface conditions — limestone may be at 6 inches or 10 feet depending on exact position on the ridge.

SWFWMD Environmental Resource Permits apply to projects impacting wetlands or exceeding stormwater thresholds. Florida scrub-jay habitat surveys are required on Brooksville Ridge sand scrub parcels prior to development approval. Gopher tortoise relocation permits needed on virtually all sandhill and scrub sites. Coastal construction setback lines apply to Gulf-facing properties.
