Land Clearing & Skid Steer in Polk City, FL

Clearing acreage in the Green Swamp around Polk City

Polk City ground is different from the rest of Polk County. The town sits on the north shore of Lake Agnes with the swamp on every side, and most parcels are long and low with a sand drive, a barn and a back line nobody has walked in years. Palmetto fills in fast. Oaks drop limbs into the fence. When a buyer wants a pad or a pasture edge opened back up, that's the call Rob takes here.

The machine matters on this ground. The Kubota runs on rubber tracks, so it works the soft corners of a lot where a wheeled machine would dig in and sit. The grapple pulls palmetto, vines and small trees in a few passes and stacks them for the trailer. Root balls and stumps come out with the grapple too. Grinding one in place is a different service, and Rob will say so.

What Rob will and won't take on in Polk City

Small-scale is the honest word. A fence line down the side of the property. Enough cleared for a shed, a pole barn or a house pad. The pile of downed oaks that's been sitting since the last named storm. Light grading with the bucket so the pad drains. That's the job.

What it isn't: a whole tract, big timber near the house or the power line, or anything an engineer drew. A tree service drops the big oaks first and Rob hauls the trunks after. Dirt and fill don't ride in the dump trailers; Rob prices that separately through partner dump trucks. Low ground that needs real drainage work belongs to a site contractor.

Pricing and scheduling from Davenport

Rob quotes flat, after he sees the lot in person or from photos and video you text him. Material goes out by the trailer: $350 for a half, $525 for three-quarters, $700 for a full, with skid steer time quoted with the job. Polk City is about 21 road miles and 29 minutes from the yard, in the 20 to 35 minute bucket, so he books the machine and the trailer on one trip and most clearing jobs land within a few days of the call.
