Land Clearing & Skid Steer in Lake Wales, FL

Grove parcels on the Ridge sand around Lake Wales

The Ridge is old dune sand, high and dry, which is why Lake Wales grew citrus for a century and why a lot of it is still grove land cut into parcels. Somebody buys five rows of dead trees and a fence line behind a mid-century block house and wants a house pad out of it. Or a family that's held a piece since the grove days wants the back cleared for a barn. Those are Lake Wales clearing calls.

Rob's answer is the grapple. It lifts dead citrus with the root ball attached and stacks it. It pulls palmetto and vines off a fence line in sheets. It loads the trailer without anyone dragging a limb. Sand this dry is easy ground for the machine. The tracks barely rut it, and the bucket levels it clean after.

Storm limbs, oak scrub and the old outbuildings

Ridge oaks are big and they drop limbs every storm season. Around the older homes outside downtown, and out toward Dundee and Frostproof, the pile behind the packing shed gets bigger every year. Rob loads it with the grapple in an afternoon. If a collapsed shed or a fence is tangled in it, that comes too. Anything left in the packing shed that's a chemical or a fuel can goes to the county drop-off in Winter Haven, not on the trailer. What doesn't: standing oaks near the roof or a power line, which a tree service drops first, and dirt, which goes through partner dump trucks on a separate quote.

Lake Wales pricing and how fast Rob can be there

Lake Wales is 20 road miles and 33 minutes down US-27 through Haines City and Dundee. Close enough that Rob can look at a lot on the way back from another job, far enough that he books the machine and trailer on one trip rather than promising same day. He quotes flat from the visit or from photos and a video: $350 for a half trailer, $525 for three-quarters, $700 for a full, machine time quoted with the job.
