Element Environmental

Guides to Clearing and Preparing a Site

Four pages on the decisions that come before a machine reaches the property: what clearing includes, what moves the cost of an acre, which size of contractor fits the job, and where the crews work.

What is here

Four guides to land clearing and site work in Central Florida. What clearing involves and what follows it, what moves the cost of clearing an acre, how a crew and fleet contractor compares with an owner operated service, and the counties Element Environmental covers.

Why these are here

Clearing a site looks like one decision and is usually four. What comes out and what stays. Where the material goes. What the ground has to do once the vegetation holding it together is gone. Who is doing the next phase.

Each page below takes one of those and works it through, so the first phone call starts from something more useful than acreage.

What these will not do

None of them can walk your site. Density, ground conditions and access are the three things that decide a clearing job, and all three get settled standing on the property rather than reading about it.

They also carry no prices. A figure per acre published on a page is a guess about somebody else’s land, and the cost guide explains what it would be hiding.

Questions about these pages

Who wrote them?

They were written from how Element Environmental does the work. Every fact came off the company’s own site or from the company directly, and anything without a solid answer was left out rather than filled in with something that sounded right.

Why is there a page comparing against another contractor?

Because buyers compare, and a page that pretends one contractor suits every job is no use to anybody. That page says plainly when a smaller outfit is the better call.

How current are they?

Each page carries the date it was last read through. When the services, the counties or the way a job is quoted change, the pages change with them.

Tell us what is on the site

Roughly how many acres, what is growing on it, and what has to happen after it is cleared. The estimate is free and the site visit settles what a phone call cannot.
