What we clear in Bronson
Eight things we are actually asked for on Levy County ground. If your job is not on this list, say so and we will tell you straight whether it is ours.
One machine cuts standing growth and grinds it back into the ground as chip in the same pass. No pile, no burn, no trucks.
Every job we have run in Bronson has been an acre. It is a size that suits one machine and one day.
Palmetto, briar and privet taken out from under the oaks and pines you are keeping.
A line you can actually run wire along, cut without disturbing the pasture either side.
You mark what stays and we cut round it. Live oaks are usually the whole reason the parcel is worth what it is.
Building envelope, drive and pad taken down to workable ground before your builder arrives.
Where the roots have to come out rather than the top growth being ground off. Our 30 inch excavator mulcher.
Rides through a block, and a cut line between your buildings and the timber.
Who calls us in Levy County
The whole of our Bronson record. An acre that has closed in, back to usable ground in a day.
Paddock edges closing in and fence lines disappearing into the growth.
Clearing the envelope, the drive and the pad before the builder mobilises, so the site is ready rather than a delay.
Ground round a house where the understory has crept in and the mowing has stopped being practical.
A parcel nobody can walk is a parcel nobody buys. A machine day changes what a buyer is looking at.
Blocks between rotations, or ground where the understory has closed in since the last thin.
How the work runs
Four steps, and the first two happen before anything leaves our yard.
Pictures with something in frame for scale, the parcel size, and a note on what you want left standing. Photograph the thickest part, because in this county that is what sets the price.
Usually the same day. It is a day count against a published rate, not a guess dressed up as a quote. Every Bronson acre so far has been a single day.
The mulching head cuts, grinds and spreads as it goes. No separate clear, pile and haul stage, which is where most of the cost and all of the mess normally sits.
Not bare ground and not a field of cut stems. It holds the surface through the wet months and slows down what comes back.
Photographs from our jobs
Photographs from jobs we have run. Nothing here is stock photography and nothing here is generated.
What it costs
We sell machine days, not acres, and we publish the rates. Bronson has been the tidy end of Levy County for us: three acres, three jobs, three single days. Williston, twelve miles up the road, once took four days on a single acre.
Stems to 8 inches. Transport included. The machine for a clean acre or a paddock edge
Stems to 30 inches, and grubbing. Plus transport
Stems to 24 inches. Plus transport. The dearest machine we run
What moves the day count
The rate follows the machine rather than the size of the stem, which catches people out: the dedicated mulcher costs more than the excavator even though the excavator takes bigger timber and pulls roots. Transport is the cost of getting the bigger two machines to you and is separate from hauling material away, which is quoted per job.
What we have actually done in Bronson
Three finished jobs and three machine days, from February 2024 to April 2025. Each one an acre, each one a single day.
| Feb 2024 | One acre, 1 machine day |
| Jun 2024 | One acre, 1 machine day |
| Apr 2025 | One acre, 1 machine day |
| Elsewhere in the county | Seven more jobs across Williston, Morriston and Dunnellon, 10 machine days |
Three acres, three days, no variation at all. We should be straight about one thing: none of the three recorded which machine went out, so we cannot tell you from the record whether yours would be the skid steer or something heavier. On a clean acre it would normally be the skid steer, and we will confirm from photographs before you book.
The ground on a Bronson parcel
| What grows here | Live oak and laurel oak with cabbage palm on the hammock, longleaf and turkey oak on the sandhill, and palmetto, briar and privet through anything grazed out or left standing. Neighbouring parcels here can be very different from each other |
| What that means for a machine | A clean acre is a comfortable day, which is what all three of ours have been. Old closed in hammock is the slow case in this county, and it is why we ask for photographs rather than acreage |
| Limestone | Karst country, with rock close to the surface in places and the occasional sink. A mulching head grinds rather than digs, which suits it, but tell us if you know of soft ground or an open sink |
| Access | Farm gates and pasture tracks, generally wide enough. Old wire buried in a fence line is the most common surprise and it costs day count when we find it |
Bronson acres finished in a single machine day. Twelve miles up the road at Williston, one acre once took four. Same county, different ground.
What customers say
FloridaLandClearing.com was beyond helpful in getting our property cleared. They were spot on with their quote, their crews arrived on time, and the machines they used were impressive to watch.
Jenny AndersonWe had a difficult project a few other companies attempted and left. Florida Land Clearing was able to get the job done and a day earlier than quoted.
Joseph KellyThese guys are pros. Watching these machines just devour acres of underbrush in a day was one of the coolest things I have seen. I cannot believe how this transformed my property.
Adam WilsonBefore you book: trees on a Levy County parcel
Levy County and the Town of Bronson each have a say depending on where your parcel sits, and bona fide agricultural land is treated differently from a residential homesite.
What is protected depends on the species, the size of the trunk and how the land is classified. Live oaks tend to attract more attention than understory growth, and agricultural operations are generally handled differently from clearing for development.
Tell us what you want gone and what you want kept when you send photographs. If the parcel is in agricultural use, say so, because it changes which questions are worth asking.
We are a clearing contractor, not the permit office, and we do not file applications. Confirm your own parcel and your own trees with Levy County or the Town of Bronson before you commit.
Bronson questions
How much does it cost to clear an acre in Bronson?
From $3,000 a machine day, and all three of our Bronson acres were a single day. That makes one day a fair starting assumption here. Send photographs and we will confirm rather than leave you guessing.
How long does it take?
One machine day, three times out of three, on one acre parcels. If yours is thicker than the ones we have done we will say so before you book, because in this county the range is genuinely wide.
Why is Williston sometimes slower?
Different ground. Old closed in hammock can be several times the work of a clean acre, and one Williston acre took us four machine days. Twelve miles is enough to change the job completely, which is why we quote from photographs.
Which machine will you send?
Probably the skid steer mulcher on a clean acre, but we should be honest that our Bronson records do not say which machine went out on any of the three. We will confirm from your photographs before you book.
Will you clear a fence line?
Yes. A cut line you can run wire along without disturbing the pasture either side. Warn us about old wire in the growth, because that is the thing most likely to add a half day.
What happens to everything you cut?
It stays on the ground as mulch, spread as the machine goes. Nothing piled, nothing burned. On ground you intend to graze again that layer is doing useful work.
Are you licensed and insured?
Insured, and we send the certificate before the machine moves. Florida does not issue a contractor licence for forestry mulching, so nobody holds one. Insurance is the document worth asking every contractor to produce.

Send a few photographs, the parcel size and a note on what you want left standing. Photograph the thickest corner rather than the tidiest one, because in this county that is the part that decides the price.
