Steve has cleared land across Northeast Florida for homeowners, developers, and people building on raw acreage. Here is what they have to say.
Swamp Gator ULM covers the full range of land clearing work in Middleburg and throughout Clay County. From tight residential lots near Blanding Blvd to larger rural tracts toward Keystone Heights, Steve brings the right equipment for what your property needs. Whether you are starting a new home site, opening up pasture, or maintaining acreage that keeps growing back, the work gets done with one operator from quote to finish.
Full-scale clearing for Middleburg lots and acreage. Trees, stumps, brush, and root systems removed or mulched in place depending on your site conditions and what comes next on the project.
Forestry mulching grinds trees, stumps, and brush directly into the ground in a single pass. No burn piles, no hauling, no bare soil left open to erosion. The right approach for most Middleburg properties, especially those near wetland buffers or neighboring lots.
Residential lot clearing across Clay County. Steve walks every Middleburg lot before writing a quote, works inside property lines, and leaves the site clean for the next contractor. Written price, and it does not change unless you change the scope.
Palmetto and scrub regrowth come back fast in North Florida. Brush hogging and mechanical clearing handle it without the cost of hand-clearing crews. Good fit for Clay County properties that need recurring maintenance passes to stay open.
After clearing, grades often need correcting. Swamp Gator handles light excavation and grading to carry your Middleburg site into its next phase. Running clearing and excavation on the same job saves mobilization cost and keeps the schedule tight.
Clearing jobs leave stumps, root balls, and brush behind. Debris removal is available alongside any clearing job so the property is work-ready when the equipment pulls out. One call handles the clearing and the cleanup.
Most land clearing bids in Middleburg come with room to adjust at invoice time. A contractor gives you a number, starts the job, finds more palmetto than expected or a buried stump, and the final invoice lands higher than what you agreed to. Swamp Gator does not work that way. Steve walks every property before writing the estimate. The written quote is the price unless you change what you asked for.
Steve is also the only operator on the equipment. That means the person who wrote your estimate is the same person clearing your Middleburg property. He knows what the ground looks like, knows the full scope, and is not relaying instructions to a crew that got a five-minute briefing. If something comes up on site, he calls you directly.
The process is straightforward from first call to finished property.
Step 1:
Call and Schedule a Walkthrough
Call (386) 515-2115 and describe your Middleburg property. Steve will schedule a time to walk the site, look at the vegetation, check for wet soil conditions near Black Creek or low-lying areas, and confirm the clearing approach. Most residential lot walkthroughs take 15 to 30 minutes.
Step 2:
Get a Written Estimate on the Spot
Steve writes the estimate during or immediately after the walkthrough. You get a number in writing before any equipment moves. The price reflects what he actually saw on your Middleburg property, not a phone description or photo estimate. That written number holds.
Step 3:
Equipment Arrives and Clearing Starts
Once you approve the estimate, Swamp Gator can typically have equipment on your Middleburg or Clay County property within 24 to 72 hours. That window covers job start. Completion time depends on acreage, vegetation density, and whether excavation or grading is part of the scope.
Step 4:
Property Cleared and Ready
When clearing is done, Steve walks the property with you. Debris removal is available on the same job if you need the site fully work-ready for your next contractor. You leave with a cleared property and a clear picture of what was done.
Let's talk about your project, from overgrown acreage to a lot that needs grading before you build, and plan the next step together.
