Land Clearing in Cape Coral & Florida Gulf Coast
From a single residential lot to multi-acre tracts — cleared, stumped, and ready for the next phase. We coordinate the permits and the gopher-tortoise survey when it's needed.
Land clearing is removing trees, brush, palmetto, stumps, and undergrowth so a lot is buildable, mowable, or usable for whatever you have planned. It runs from a single residential lot through multi-acre tracts — selective tree-saving, full clearing, or stump grinding vs. extraction depending on what's next for the property.
Florida specifics: many Florida Gulf Coast parcels require a gopher-tortoise survey before clearing (FWC-protected species), and Lee/Collier/Charlotte counties each have their own clearing-permit and wetland-buffer rules. We handle the survey coordination and the permit so the project doesn't stall.
One company. The whole job.
- Teardown
- Cleared
- Excavated
- Graded
- Finished Grade
Clearing sets up everything downstream. Once a lot is cleared and stumped, we excavate, grade, and bring it to finished grade — same crew, sequenced cleanly, with the right finished elevation and drainage built in so the lot is actually ready for the next step.
What land clearing costs in Florida Gulf Coast.
No surprise charges — a firm, itemized price before any work begins.
Most residential lots in Florida Gulf Coast clear in the $1,800–$8,000+ range, with denser vegetation, larger acreage, or heavy haul-off pushing higher. Florida Gulf Coast tends to run above national per-acre averages because of dense palmetto, Brazilian pepper, hardwood, and the cost of legal disposal in this region. Selective clearing (saving specified trees) and stump-grinding-vs-extraction also move the number. Call Brookins for a free, on-site estimate — we'll walk it, list it, price it.

What's in a real Brookins quote.
The trade's biggest trust problem is the lowball quote that turns into three change orders. We bid the actual scope, in writing, the first time.
Firm, itemized scope
Every line item written out — what's in, what's not, and how much. No vague 'site work' lump sum.
Conditions explained up front
Soil, slab, permits, gopher tortoise — anything that can move the price is flagged before the contract, not on day three.
No surprise change orders
If something genuinely changes once we're on site, we tell you, price it, and you decide. No mid-job invoices for work you didn't agree to.
Permits and paperwork included
Demolition permits, utility disconnects, county and state notices, FWC coordination — handled as part of the scope, not billed as extras.
