What we clear in Jennings
Eight things we are actually asked for on Hamilton 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.
The Jennings job. The half acre behind the house that stopped being mowed a few years ago, put back to something you can walk and keep on top of.
Privet, briar and wax myrtle that crept in from the boundary, taken out without touching the trees you planted.
You mark what stays and we cut round it. On a lived on lot that usually means the shade over the house and not much else.
Working in close to a house, a barn or an old slab, where the machine has to be placed rather than just driven.
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.
A line in from the road you can get a truck down, and a clear area to turn it round at the end.
Who calls us in Hamilton County
Half an acre to an acre that has closed in. All three of our Jennings jobs sit in that range.
Ground between rotations, or a block where the understory has closed in since the last thin.
Clearing the envelope, the drive and the pad before the builder mobilises, so the site is ready rather than a delay.
Rides, food plot lanes and a clear area round a camp. Quiet, quick work that leaves chip rather than slash.
Ground held from over the Georgia line that needs keeping walkable without you having to be there.
A parcel nobody can walk is a parcel nobody buys. A machine day changes what a buyer is looking at.
How the work runs
Four steps, and the first two happen before anything leaves our yard.
One wide shot of the lot and one looking down the side you expect the machine to come in by. On a lived on lot the way in matters as much as what is standing.
Usually the same day, and on a lot this size the answer has been one day every time. Tell us about anything buried out there, a well head, an old slab, a septic lid, because that is what changes the plan.
The mulching head cuts, grinds and spreads as it goes. Nothing gets piled at the front of the property waiting for a truck that comes next week.
A chip layer rather than bare sand or a field of cut stems, and a lot you can get a mower over again next season.

What it costs
We sell machine days, not acres, and we publish the rates. Jennings has been consistent at a day a job, which is what half acre and one acre lots on this ground normally come to.
Stems to 8 inches. Transport included. The machine for a small lot on planted ground
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 Jennings
Three finished jobs and three machine days, all inside 2025. One day each, every time.
| Mar 2025 | One acre, 1 machine day |
| Apr 2025 | One acre, 1 machine day, with the skid steer mulcher |
| May 2025 | Half an acre, 1 machine day, with the skid steer mulcher |
| Elsewhere in the county | Six more jobs at Jasper, 8 machine days, including a three acre block that took three days |
Three jobs in three consecutive months, all single days. Two of the three recorded a machine and both ran with the skid steer mulcher. If your parcel is bigger than an acre, look at the Jasper record rather than this one, because that is where the larger blocks in this county have been. Across Hamilton County we have finished nine jobs in eleven machine days.
The ground on a Jennings lot
| What grows here | Small holdings and house lots rather than timber blocks, so what we meet here is usually yard edge growth that got away: privet, briar, wax myrtle and volunteer sweetgum, with whatever pine and oak the owner has kept |
| What that means for a machine | Softer than a working timber block and quicker per acre. It is also more cluttered, because a lot that has been lived on has fence posts, old wire, a slab or a well head somewhere in it |
| The state line | Jennings sits right on the Georgia line at the interstate, so we are often here in the same trip as work further north. If your timing is flexible, say so, because it occasionally lets us fit you into an existing run |
| Access | Town streets and short rural drives rather than timber tracks. The usual question is whether the machine can get past the house to the back of the lot, so photograph the side you expect us to come down |
Jennings jobs finished in a single machine day, across three consecutive months in 2025. Half an acre to an acre on this ground is a day.
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 Hamilton County parcel
Hamilton County is rural and much of the land here is in timber or agricultural use, which is treated differently from a residential lot inside Jennings.
Silvicultural work under an approved forestry practice is generally handled differently from clearing for development, and the rules for a lot in town are not the ones for a timber block outside it. Work near the Suwannee may also fall under the water management district.
Tell us what you want gone and what you want kept when you send photographs. We will tell you which parts of the job look worth asking about before you spend anything.
We are a clearing contractor, not the permit office, and we do not file applications. Confirm your own parcel and your own trees with Hamilton County, the Town of Jennings or the water management district before you commit.
Jennings questions
How much does it cost to clear a lot in Jennings?
From $3,000 a machine day, and all three of our Jennings jobs were a single day at half an acre to an acre. Send photographs and we will confirm rather than leave you guessing.
How long does it take?
One machine day, three times out of three. If your parcel is larger, be aware a three acre block at Jasper in the same county took three days, so past about an acre the day count starts moving with the ground.
Can you mulch under planted pine without hurting the trees?
That is the most common job we do up here. The head takes the understory out and the rows give the machine a line to work along. Mark anything you particularly want protected.
Do you clear food plot lanes and rides?
Yes. Lanes, rides and a clear area round a camp are straightforward mulching work and usually quick, because you are asking for a strip rather than a whole block.
What happens to everything you cut?
It stays on the ground as mulch, spread as the machine goes. Nothing piled, nothing burned. On sand over clay that layer holds the surface through the wet months.
Do I need a permit?
It depends on whether the land is in timber or agricultural use, whether you are inside Jennings, and how close the work is to the river. Confirm with the right office rather than taking a contractor word for it, ours included.
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. If it is planted pine, a shot straight down a row tells us more than anything else.
