Land Clearing and Site Preparation in Hillsborough County

PAW Demolition delivers complete land clearing and site preparation services across Hillsborough County for residential builds, commercial redevelopment, and post-demolition projects. We handle tree and brush removal, surface grading, and debris hauling to prepare your site for construction with no unnecessary delays.

Our services support homeowners, builders, and developers who need dependable clearing work and timely execution. Whether it’s a compact residential lot in Brandon or an expansive commercial parcel anywhere in the county, we bring the experience to complete every project safely and on schedule.

What Land Clearing and Site Prep Involves

Land clearing removes trees, vegetation, debris, and surface obstructions from a property to prepare it for construction, landscaping, or utility installation. Site preparation takes the next step by grading, leveling, and compacting the soil to meet your project’s specific requirements.

Together, these services create a stable foundation for whatever comes next. Proper clearing and prep work prevents drainage issues, eliminates future settling problems, and ensures your project starts on solid ground—literally. Whether you’re breaking ground on a new build or preparing land for development, getting this phase right saves time and money down the line.

Our services are ideal for:

  • New residential and commercial builds
  • Clearing lots after demolition
  • Prepping storm-damaged properties
  • Clearing overgrown or neglected parcels
  • Right-of-way and utility access

When to Schedule Land Clearing

Pre-Construction Clearing

If you’re starting a new build, land clearing is one of the first major steps. We remove trees, underbrush, roots, and surface debris so your builders aren’t slowed down. We also coordinate with local teams handling residential demolition in Brandon and across Hillsborough County to streamline the entire process.

Redeveloping Older Lots

Many of our clients come to us after taking down outdated or condemned buildings. If your site has already been serviced by our commercial demolition team in Hillsborough County, we can jump straight into clearing and prepping the space for whatever comes next.

Storm and Disaster Cleanup

Severe weather can leave behind more than just water damage. Fallen trees, uprooted brush, and unstable debris make your lot unsafe and unusable. Our team can help you recover quickly by clearing storm-damaged land and preparing it for safe access or future work.

Residential and Commercial Clearing Services

Residential Land Clearing

Whether you’re building a custom home or expanding an existing footprint, we specialize in prepping residential lots of all sizes. We understand how to navigate tight access points, protect surrounding structures, and complete work without disrupting nearby properties.

Commercial Site Preparation

For developers and contractors working on retail, warehouse, or multi-unit sites, our team brings the heavy equipment and project management experience needed to keep clearing and grading on track. We’ve worked on everything from small pads to multi-acre parcels, often following up after industrial demolition work has been completed.

Our Land Clearing Process

Every site is different, but our process remains consistent:

  • Site Evaluation: We assess terrain, vegetation, slope, and obstacles.
  • Permits & Planning: We assist with any required permitting or compliance documentation.
  • Vegetation and Structure Removal: Trees, stumps, brush, and debris are cleared using the right tools for the job.
  • Grading and Surface Prep: We level and compact the soil, creating a buildable or accessible surface.
  • Final Cleanup: All debris is hauled off-site, sorted, and disposed of responsibly.

For projects with environmental priorities, we also integrate sustainable practices. Learn more about our approach to demolition recycling and material recovery.

How Much Does Land Clearing Cost?

Costs vary based on several key factors:

  • Lot size and accessibility
  • Type and volume of vegetation
  • Presence of old foundations or debris
  • Soil condition and grading requirements
  • Disposal and hauling needs

We provide upfront estimates and can offer bundled pricing if your project also involves demolition. If you’re ready to move forward, request a demolition quote and we’ll be in touch quickly.
