Land clearing
Clear the Space for What Comes Next.
Explain what is on the property, where access is available, and what you need the area ready for. Gone Stumpin will start with a free written estimate and a scheduled arrival time.
Clearing often comes with stumps and a pile of debris. One job can cover all of it: brush and overgrowth off the lot, stumps ground out of sight, and the material left or hauled away.
What the job can cover
Brush and overgrowth
Growth that has taken over a lot, a fence line or the back of the yard comes off so the space can be used.
Stumps in the same visit
Stumps left on the lot get ground until you can no longer see them.
Debris your way
Leave usable material on site or choose haul-away for a fee.
A written estimate first
The price is in writing before work starts and holds unless the scope of the job changes.

The owner runs the job

Check the tree rules before the lot is cleared
Protected trees on a lot need the city or county permit before they come down. The size that triggers a permit depends on where the property is.
- Property services in TampaOaks, pines, elms and other protected trees wider than 5 inches need a city permit before removal.
- Property services in St. PetersburgShade trees are protected from 4 inches and understory trees from 8 inches.
- Property services in ClearwaterProtected-tree removal generally requires a city permit. Check the species, condition and any applicable exemption with Clearwater before clearing.
- Property services in BradentonCity trees are protected from 4 inches, while county back and side yard trees usually need no authorization.
- Property services in LakelandSmall single-family lots are exempt from development tree rules, but the city keeps a removal permit application.
- Property services in Plant CityThe city says a permit may be required and asks residents to call Planning and Zoning first.
- Property services in BrandonCounty permits generally apply to trees 12 inches and wider on developed residential lots.
Define what the cleared space should be ready for
Clearing a brush-covered area starts with a description of what is there and what you want to do with the space. Gone Stumpin clears brush and overgrowth, grinds stumps and discusses whether material stays or is hauled away. Standing-tree removal is not offered. The owner looks at the lot and gives a written estimate before any work starts.
Describe the growth and the access
Tell us where brush or overgrowth is blocking the yard, lot or fence line. Include the project address and explain how the area can be reached. A property description should distinguish brush from standing trees and identify stumps already left behind. That helps the owner assess the actual work rather than price a general request to clear everything without seeing it.
Keep tree removal separate
Protected-tree and removal rules depend on the city or county governing the property. If standing trees need to come down, that happens before the work offered here, with applicable requirements addressed. Gone Stumpin does not take down the trees. Existing stumps can be discussed with the clearing job, but a land-clearing request does not extend the service into standing-tree removal.
Choose the material and finish scope
Say whether you want usable material left on site or haul-away considered for a fee. Include stump grinding if stumps are part of the area. Raking and grass planting after stump work can be requested rather than assumed. Local rules for debris created by hired businesses still apply, and the written estimate should make clear what work and cleanup are agreed.
Land Clearing questions
Do you cut down standing trees?
No. Gone Stumpin does not remove standing trees. If trees need to come down, that happens first, with any permit the city or county requires. We clear the brush and grind the stumps.
Can you grind the stumps while you clear?
Yes. Stumps on the lot can be ground in the same job. Mention how many there are when you request the estimate.
What happens to the cleared material?
Your choice. Leave it on site or choose haul-away for a fee.
How is land clearing priced?
The owner looks at the lot in person and writes the estimate before work starts. The number holds unless the scope of the job changes.
What should I tell you about a brush-covered lot?
Give the address, explain what growth is in the way and say what you want the space ready for. Mention stumps, fence lines and access limitations. Distinguish brush and overgrowth from standing trees, because tree removal is not offered. The owner sees what is actually there before writing the estimate; a general lot size does not describe all the work.
Can stumps be included with the clearing request?
Yes. Describe how many stumps are already on the lot and where they sit in relation to the brush. The owner can assess the clearing and stump work together. Grinding continues until the stump is out of sight, with the finish and material choices agreed in the estimate. This does not include taking down a standing tree first.
Does clearing mean every piece of material is hauled away?
No cleanup choice should be assumed. Describe whether material is to remain on site or whether paid haul-away is wanted, and agree on the scope before work begins. Rules for debris generated by a hired business still apply at the property. The estimate should distinguish the clearing work, any stump work and the material to be removed.
Do city tree rules apply to a clearing job?
The jurisdiction and the actual work determine the relevant requirements. City and county notes on this page provide context, not a promise that every tree or lot is exempt. Gone Stumpin does not remove standing trees. If trees need to come down, that step and the applicable permissions are handled before the offered clearing and stump work begins.
Who writes the clearing estimate and runs the work?
The owner sees the lot in person and writes the estimate before starting. He is the direct contact and is on site for the job, which gets a scheduled arrival time. The number holds unless the scope changes. If you add another area, more stumps or a different cleanup choice, agree on the change before treating it as part of the original price.
