Plant City sits in northeastern Hillsborough County, about midway between Brandon and Lakeland on I-4, roughly 23 miles east of Tampa. Known as the Winter Strawberry Capital of the World, it is home to the Florida Strawberry Festival each winter, and the land around it is still working land: strawberry fields, pastures and wooded parcels. The city sits well above Tampa’s tidewater flats, at about 128 feet.
Property owners looking for a land clearing company in Plant City, FL usually face one of two situations. Fields, pastures and fence lines are being reclaimed by vines, palmetto and invasive plants like tropical soda apple and Brazilian pepper. Or growth is pushing development along I-4, such as the 410-acre Stalwart Business Park planned north of Knights Griffin Road between Bailey Road and Paul Buchman Highway. Both need land opened up before the next step.
Clear Cut Heavy Brush Mulching has more than ten years of experience clearing land across Hillsborough County, and Plant City is one of the communities we serve. Our forestry mulchers turn brush, vines and trees under 12 inches into mulch on site, with no burning and no haul-off. We can also clear around trees you want to keep.
Every Clear Cut service is available in Plant City and the countryside around it. From a fence line off SR 39 to a multi-acre pasture, we handle the job.
Homeowners in and around Plant City often have more land than they can keep up with: acre lots, back pastures and wooded home sites. We clear the vegetation, mulch it in place, and leave the trees you want to keep. That works for a new home site, a pool, a driveway or simply getting your yard back.
Services include:
Plant City has more than 2,000 acres of privately owned industrial parks, and I-4 corridor projects such as the 410-acre Stalwart Business Park show how much land is being prepared here. We clear underbrush so tree and topographic surveys can proceed, and we work with contractors on tight schedules.
Services include:
Agriculture is Plant City’s identity. UF/IFAS reported a record 15,000 or more strawberry acres for the 2025–26 season, and pastures and groves fill the rest of the map. We clear overgrown fields and pastures, fence lines and ditches so your ground is ready for its next use. Confirm any agricultural exemption status with the county before clearing.
Services include:
East Hillsborough vegetation grows thick and fast. Our mulchers take down palmetto, thick vines, saplings and Brazilian pepper in a single pass and leave the mulch across the site. That protects soil, and the land is usable right away. We handle trees under 12 inches, fallen trees and stumps.
Services include:
Plant City code enforcement cites a 10-inch maximum height for weeds, grass and undergrowth on lots within 200 feet of a building, structure or street. If a lot has been neglected past that point, we can clear it quickly. We work on vacant lots, inherited land and neglected acreage.
Services include:
Fences around Plant City pastures and groves are often buried under vines and brush. We clear both sides so you can see, maintain and replace them. One customer had us clear a path along a 10-acre property so they could put up fencing.
Services include:
Communities in and around Plant City have retention areas, buffers and conservation tracts that need regular maintenance. We remove invasive vines and shrubs while protecting native plants, and we give boards clear, itemized proposals. We are happy to attend board walkthroughs.
Services include:
Private trails, ATV paths and access roads on rural Plant City parcels close up fast. We clear brush and fallen trees so you can ride, walk or work the land. Grading and drainage are part of the plan.
Services include:
Rural Plant City properties often want ponds for livestock, irrigation, wildlife or recreation. We evaluate the site, excavate, shape and grade the bank, and follow up. Work in or near wetlands, creeks or surface water may need Hillsborough EPC and state review, so we check first.
Services include:
We clear residential, commercial and vacant lots for buyers, investors and builders in Plant City. If you just bought raw land near I-4 or a rural parcel off US-92, clearing it lets you see what you own. Most lots are done in one to two days.
Services include:
Plant City is inland, higher and more agricultural than Tampa, but it gets the same summer rains, with creeks such as Itchepackesassa Creek crossing the area. The National Weather Service puts the rainy season at May 25 to October 10 for the region, so wet ground can slow equipment in summer. Plant City’s strawberry season runs from about November to early April, and many owners prefer to schedule clearing around it. See our winter forestry mulching guide.
We reach Plant City by I-4 exits 22 (Park Road), 21 (SR 39A / Paul Buchman Highway and SR 39) and 19 (Thonotosassa Road), then work the roads that connect the countryside: US-92, SR 39, Knights Griffin Road and Bailey Road. CSX rail lines run through the city, which is why so much industrial land is being prepared along them. We also serve communities on the way, such as Thonotosassa, Seffner and Mango.
The projects here are a mix. Overgrown pastures and fence lines, some with tropical soda apple, which UF/IFAS says can take over a pasture in one to two years. Wooded parcels for new homes. And larger industrial and residential sites around the 410-acre Stalwart Business Park. The City reports more than 2,000 acres of privately owned industrial parks. Landmarks such as the Hillsborough Community College Plant City campus on N Park Road and Plant City Airport show how the city has grown around its farmland.
Property inside Plant City limits is governed by City permitting; Hillsborough County rules apply in unincorporated areas around it. Plant City code enforcement cites a 10-inch maximum height for weeds and undergrowth on lots near buildings and streets. Ag land may qualify for the county’s agricultural exemption to the Natural Resources Permit, but forestry operations and converting natural lands to improved pasture require completing an application. Wetlands and creeks may involve the Hillsborough EPC. We help you confirm what applies before we start.
When you are looking for a land clearing company in Plant City, FL, here is what we bring.
Our machines clear about an acre a day, which is what pastures, groves and wooded parcels around Plant City need. Bigger jobs get a realistic timeline up front.
Everything is mulched on site. There are no burn piles to manage and no dump fees, and the ground is drivable the same day.
Whether it is a live oak by the barn or shade trees near the house, we mulch around what should stay.
Customers say we show up on time, communicate clearly and go the extra mile. One review describes clearing a path along a 10-acre property for a new fence.
City limits, county rules, ag exemptions and wetlands all differ. We do not guess. We tell you what may apply, then give a free on-site estimate and guarantee the work.

Clear Cut is unequivocally the most professional and punctual company that I have come across in a long time. Tim, the owner of the company, is an absolute professional and Nick, who cleared my property, is the absolute master at his craft. I am certain that anyone considering clearing their property of trees and brush will be extremely pleased as I am with an all around perfect experience from beginning to end. I most highly, without hesitation, recommend this company as they exceeded my expectations and I am certain you will also have the same experience!!!

As a community association management company, we have contracted with Clear Cut Forestry on four separate occasions, and each experience has exceeded our expectations. Their responsiveness, communication, professionalism, and quality of work are outstanding. What Clear Cut Forestry can accomplish in a single day would often take other vendors several days or even a week to complete. Their crews are efficient, well-organized, and clearly take pride in their work. One of the aspects we appreciate most is their attention to detail and respect for the properties they serve. They leave work areas in excellent condition, take great care during equipment mobilization and demobilization, and avoid causing damage to surrounding property. Additionally, they process and grind landscaping debris into high-quality mulch and pathways, leaving the site both functional and aesthetically pleasing. Clear Cut Forestry has consistently delivered exceptional results, and we would not hesitate to recommend them to any association, property manager, or organization in need of forestry or land-clearing services. An outstanding company and a pleasure to work with. Gabriel Wilson Neighborly Community ManagementPosted on Google![]()

We had a great experience with Clear Cut Mulching & Forestry. They cleared a large pathway along the side of our 10-acre property so we could put up fencing, and they did an excellent job. Tim, the owner, was super easy to talk to and scheduling was simple. Nick, who came out to do the work, was very professional and knowledgeable & did a fantastic job. Their pricing was also very reasonable compared to some of the overpriced estimates we received from others. We would definitely use them again and highly recommend them!
It depends on where the property is and what you are clearing. Inside Plant City limits, tree removal permits come from the City. In unincorporated areas around it, Hillsborough County rules apply. Work in wetlands or near creeks may involve the Hillsborough EPC. We help you confirm what applies before we start.
Yes. Field and pasture clearing is one of our core services. We mulch vines, palmetto, saplings and invasives such as tropical soda apple and Brazilian pepper in one pass. Hillsborough County has an Agricultural Exemption process, and it says converting natural lands to improved pasture requires completing an application, so confirm that first.
Our machines average about an acre per day. A single acre or a standard lot may take one visit. Larger pastures or wooded tracts take longer, and you get a timeline with your estimate.
Yes. We serve the I-4 corridor through Plant City, including parcels off Park Road, Paul Buchman Highway and the Knights Griffin Road area, where a large industrial park is planned. We clear brush for surveys and site work and can work with your contractor’s schedule.
Yes. Thonotosassa is I-4 exit 19, and Seffner and Mango sit along the same corridor. We travel from Tampa and serve all of Hillsborough County, as well as Polk and Pasco Counties. If you are unsure whether we serve your address, call.
Ground is firmer in the drier months, and many owners avoid the peak rainy season of July to early September. Farmers also plan around the strawberry season, which runs from November to early April. We can mulch in most weather and will tell you if a field is too wet.
Plant City code enforcement cites a 10-inch maximum height for weeds, grass and undergrowth on lots within 200 feet of a building, structure or street. If you have received a notice, call us. We can usually clear the lot in a day, and you will have the mulch left in place.
Yes. We mulch Brazilian pepper trees, vines and heavy underbrush. Tropical soda apple is a major pasture invader, and UF/IFAS says it can take over a pasture in 1 to 2 years. Mulching clears the growth; ask us about follow-up so it does not return.
Whether your land is off I-4 near Park Road, along US-92, or out past Knights Griffin Road, we are ready to show up. Call for a free estimate and we will tell you what can be cleared, what should stay, and what it will cost. We serve Plant City and communities across Hillsborough County.
