What we clear in Bunnell
Eight things we are actually asked for inland. 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.
A platted lot or a small holding that has grown in, cleared where it stands. The acre here was finished in the day.
Ground that was worked, went out of use and came back in palmetto and scrub. Inland Flagler is full of it and it is quick going.
Palmetto, gallberry and briar taken out from under pine you are keeping, so a block becomes ground you can walk and work.
Where roots must leave the ground rather than be ground off at the surface. The 30 inch excavator, on a separate rate.
Pad, drive and envelope opened to workable ground before a builder arrives.
A way in from the road, and a lane through a block big enough that the far corner is its own trip.
A run you can put posts down, cut to the width you ask for and no wider.
Who calls us in Bunnell and inland Flagler
Inland Flagler is small holdings and old farm ground, and the parcels are bigger than they look from the coast road.
Envelope, drive and pad taken to workable ground, and the drive is often the longer half of the work.
Cleared once, left, and closed in again. It is the commonest condition out here and it is quicker to fix than it looks.
Ground nobody can walk is ground nobody prices properly, and inland parcels here trade on what a buyer can actually see.
The low ground holds water for months. Photograph it, because it decides both the machine and the season.
An acreage rate assumes what is standing. On old farm ground that assumption is usually wrong in your favour, and on closed flatwoods it is wrong the other way.
How the work runs
Four steps, and the reason all six of our county jobs came in at a day is mostly what happens in the first one.
From the road, from inside, and one of the lowest looking corner. Something in frame for scale saves a phone call.
Usually the same day. Every job we have finished in this county has been a single day, and if we thought yours was two we would tell you rather than let you find out.
The head cuts, grinds and spreads as it goes. No pile, no burn and no trucks on a road that does not want them.
Chip spread where the growth stood. On old farm ground it slows down what tries to come back, which is the whole reason to do it this way.
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. Every job we have finished in this county has been one of them. That is a fact about the ground here rather than a promise about your parcel, and photographs are how we check.
Stems to 8 inches. Transport included. The machine recorded on the acre here
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 Bunnell
One job, an acre, one machine day.
| Jun 2025 | 1 acre, 1 machine day, skid steer mulcher |
| Across Flagler County | Six finished jobs and 6 machine days |
| Single day jobs in the county | All six of them |
| Sizes behind those six | A quarter of an acre up to an acre |
Six for six is a real number and it is also a small one. What it tells you is that the parcels we have been called to in this county have all been the size and condition that fit a day, not that everything here does.
What inland Flagler ground does to a day count
| Old farm ground | Worked once and gone back. The quickest going in the county and most of what we are asked for. |
| Pine flatwoods | Natural stand with palmetto underneath. Standard work and predictable to price. |
| Palmetto and gallberry | Dense but shallow. It looks worse in a photograph than it behaves under a machine. |
| Wet flatwoods and swales | Hold water for months at a time. They decide the season more than they decide the price. |
| Cabbage palm | Fibrous rather than woody. It does not cut like timber and it is worth telling us it is there. |
| Ground that has stood ten years | The single biggest multiplier on a day count, inland or on the coast. |

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 WilsonPermits in Bunnell are yours
Every county and city in Florida writes its own tree rules and they are not the same. What is protected depends on the species, the size of the trunk and how your parcel is classified.
If your parcel sits inside the city limit then the city is your authority rather than the county, and municipal rules in Florida tend to be the stricter of the two. Inland Flagler has a lot of ground just outside a limit, so it is worth establishing which side of the line you are on.
Land in genuine agricultural use is usually treated differently again, and a good deal of the ground round Bunnell qualifies or used to. Which category your parcel is in changes the answer and the office.
We are a clearing contractor, not the permit office, and we do not file applications. Confirm your own parcel and your own trees with the City of Bunnell or Flagler County before you commit.
Bunnell questions
What does it cost to clear an acre in Bunnell?
From $3,000, which is one machine day, and ours was one day. Six for six in this county have been single days, though that is about the parcels we have been sent rather than a guarantee about yours.
Is old farm ground really quicker?
Yes, and noticeably. There is rarely anything with a trunk on it, the ground is level and the machine works without stopping. It is the reason acreage on its own is a poor guide to a price.
What about the wet parts of my land?
Photograph them. Soft ground changes which machine comes out and often changes the month we would rather do the work in. Knowing beforehand costs nothing.
Are the roots taken out?
Not on a mulching job. Everything above ground is cut and ground off and the plate stays where it is. Taking it out is grubbing, which is the excavator at a different rate.
Do you work the rest of Flagler County?
Yes, including the coast side. Six finished jobs in total, listed on the county page with acreages and day counts next to them.
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.
