Orange County encompasses the geographic center of the Florida peninsula, with terrain ranging from the well-drained sand ridges of Winter Garden and Windermere in the west to the poorly drained flatwoods and freshwater marshes near Christmas and Bithlo in the east. The county contains over 1,000 named lakes, and the central urban core sits on the Mount Dora Ridge, an ancient sand dune system with elevations reaching 100 feet. TreeShop LLC provides professional land clearing, forestry mulching, and site preparation across Orange County — serving Orlando, Winter Park, Apopka, Winter Garden, Ocoee, and 7 more communities.
Orange County's explosive growth generates clearing demand across every project type—from residential subdivisions consuming former citrus groves in Apopka and Horizon West to massive commercial and tourism developments south of the airport along the I-4 corridor. Eastern Orange County around Christmas and Bithlo is the new frontier, where rural ranchettes and planned communities are replacing pine flatwoods and pasture. Lakefront properties throughout the county regularly need selective clearing to improve water views while complying with shoreline buffer requirements. The county's aging commercial corridors along Colonial Drive and Orange Blossom Trail also produce steady redevelopment clearing work as outdated strip centers are razed for mixed-use projects.
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.
Orange County encompasses the geographic center of the Florida peninsula, with terrain ranging from the well-drained sand ridges of Winter Garden and Windermere in the west to the poorly drained flatwoods and freshwater marshes near Christmas and Bithlo in the east. The county contains over 1,000 named lakes, and the central urban core sits on the Mount Dora Ridge, an ancient sand dune system with elevations reaching 100 feet. Eastern Orange County remains largely rural, with extensive pine flatwoods, cypress strand, and wet prairie that transition into the St. Johns River marshes at the county line.
Orange County added over 200,000 residents between 2015 and 2024, and the Horizon West and Lake Nona planned communities alone account for tens of thousands of planned housing units still under construction. Major infrastructure investments including the I-4 Beyond the Ultimate project and Orlando International Airport's south terminal expansion continue to spur ancillary commercial development.
Shingle Creek, headwaters of the Everglades, flows through southwestern Orange County and triggers heightened environmental review for any land disturbance within its watershed. The Econlockhatchee River in eastern Orange is designated an Outstanding Florida Water, imposing strict buffer and stormwater treatment standards on adjacent development. Significant gopher tortoise populations occupy scrub remnants in the Split Oak and Hal Scott Preserve areas, and the county's comprehensive plan requires environmental assessments for projects exceeding 2 acres. Bald eagle nest monitoring is required within 660 feet of documented nests, many of which are located near lakefront development sites.
Soil: Western Orange County's ridge features Candler and Apopka fine sands with excellent drainage and historically supported the region's vast citrus industry. The central urban corridor sits on Tavares and Pomello fine sands, while eastern Orange County contains extensive areas of Basinger, Placid, and Floridana sands that remain saturated much of the year. Organic muck soils including Samsula and Terra Ceia series line the edges of the county's many lakes and wetland depressions.

Orange County requires a tree removal permit for any tree over 4 inches DBH on unincorporated land, and the county's environmental protection division reviews clearing plans for projects exceeding 2 acres. Wetland impacts require both St. Johns River Water Management District and Army Corps of Engineers permits, and work within 550 feet of a bald eagle nest requires a federal incidental take permit from USFWS during nesting season.
