Brush Hog / Heavy Mowing in
Orange County, FL

Brush mowing in Orange County targets the fast-growing understory that reclaims vacant lots, utility easements, and retention areas within a single rainy season. Our rotary mowing equipment processes palmetto, wax myrtle, and woody shrubs at ground level, restoring access and visibility. Serving Orlando, Winter Park, Apopka, Winter Garden, and 8 more communities across Orange County.

Why Brush Hog / Heavy Mowing in Orange 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.

Orange County's code enforcement division aggressively enforces overgrowth standards, particularly on the thousands of vacant residential lots scattered through unincorporated communities like Bithlo and Taft. Utility companies operating the county's extensive overhead and underground infrastructure network also require regular right-of-way mowing to maintain access and inspection sight lines.

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'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commercial corridors along Colonial Drive and Orange Blossom Trail also produce steady redevelopment clearing work as outdated strip centers are razed for mixed-use projects. 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.

Environmental Considerations in Orange County

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.

Protected species: Orange County is home to Gopher tortoise, Florida scrub-jay, Eastern indigo snake, Florida black bear, Bald eagle, Wood stork, Sandhill crane, Audubon's crested caracara, Florida bonneted bat. Pre-clearing wildlife surveys may be required depending on habitat type and project scope.

Waterways & buffers: Properties near Econlockhatchee River, Little Econlockhatchee River, Shingle Creek, Boggy Creek, Lake Apopka, Lake Conway, Lake Butler, Reedy Creek, Lake Hart, Lake Nona, Wekiwa Springs Run may require setback buffers and water management district permits. TreeShop works within all required buffer zones.

Soil conditions: 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.
