Fort Myers Land Clearing Done Safely & Effeciently

Before you can build anything, you need a clean site. That means clearing trees, removing stumps, hauling debris, and preparing the land for construction. Done poorly, land clearing damages equipment, creates drainage problems, and leaves you with a mess that costs thousands to fix. Done right, it sets your entire project up for success.


At Mor Paving and Grading, we handle land clearing with the same precision we bring to grading championship sports courts. Our crews know how to work around property lines, protect trees you want to keep, manage stormwater during clearing, and leave you with a site that's actually ready for the next phase.


Whether you're clearing a residential lot for new construction, preparing commercial property for development, or cleaning up after a Southwest Florida storm, we have the equipment and experience to do it safely and efficiently.

Why Property Owners Choose Our Land Clearing Services

  • We Clear Smart, Not Just Fast

    Anyone can knock down trees and push debris into piles. Smart clearing means understanding what stays, what goes, where material gets staged, how to protect adjacent properties, and how to avoid creating drainage problems. We've cleared hundreds of sites across Southwest Florida—we know what works.

  • Modern Equipment That Actually Matters

    We use properly-sized equipment for the job. Compact machines for residential lots with tight access. Larger equipment for commercial clearing. Forestry mulchers for vegetation management. The right equipment means we work efficiently without tearing up more land than necessary.

  • We Handle Permitting and Environmental Requirements

    Land clearing in Lee and Collier counties comes with regulations—protected trees, wetland buffers, stormwater requirements, burn permits (when applicable). We know local codes and handle the compliance work so your project doesn't get shut down.

  • Storm Damage Response

    Florida hurricanes and tropical storms create massive debris. We mobilize quickly after storms to clear fallen trees, remove hazardous limbs, and restore site access so you can assess damage and begin repairs.

Our Land Clearing Services

Complete Lot Clearing

Full site clearing for new construction—trees, brush, stumps, vegetation. We clear to property lines, protect any trees you're keeping, and haul everything away. You get a clean site ready for grading and construction.

Selective Clearing & Tree PReservation

Want to keep mature trees or preserve natural areas? We selectively clear around trees you're saving, maintain root protection zones, and remove only what needs to go. Saves you money on landscaping later and preserves property character.

Tree & Stump Removal

Individual tree removal or complete stump grinding. We handle problem trees near structures, storm-damaged trees, or clearing for new driveways and additions. Stumps are ground below grade so they don't interfere with construction or landscaping.

Brush Clearing & Vegetation Management

Overgrown lots, abandoned properties, or land that's been sitting for years. We clear brush, vines, saplings, and undergrowth to reclaim usable land.

Storm Damage Cleanup

Post-hurricane debris removal and hazardous tree clearing. We mobilize quickly after storms to clear downed trees, remove broken limbs, and restore site access. Available for residential properties and commercial facilities.

Debris Removal & Hauling

We don't just knock it down—we haul it away. All vegetation, stumps, and debris are removed from site and properly disposed of or recycled. No piles left for you to deal with.

Land Clearing for Development

Multi-lot subdivisions, commercial developments, or agricultural land conversion. We coordinate phased clearing, maintain erosion control, and prepare sites for infrastructure installation.

Right-of-way & Utility Cooridor Clearing

Access clearing for utilities, drainage easements, or road construction. We work around existing infrastructure and maintain required clearances.

What Professional Land Clearing Gets You

  • Safe Worksites From Day One

    Professional clearing eliminates hazards—unstable trees, hidden debris, uneven ground. Your construction crews aren't dealing with obstacles that slow work or create safety risks.

  • Sites Actually Ready for Construction

    When we're done, your site is cleared to the correct limits, debris is gone, and rough grading is established. Your builder can start work immediately without spending days finishing the clearing you already paid for.

  • Protected Adjacent Properties

    We don't damage your neighbor's fence, drop trees on power lines, or push debris across property lines. Professional clearing means controlling where material falls and keeping work contained to your property.

  • Proper Drainage Maintained

    Clearing changes how water moves across your property. We maintain existing drainage patterns, prevent erosion during clearing, and set sites up for proper final grading.

  • Compliance With Local Codes

    Lee and Collier counties regulate tree removal, protected species, wetland buffers, and erosion control. We handle permits and follow regulations so your project doesn't face stop-work orders.

Clearing and Removal

Using appropriate equipment, we systematically clear trees, brush, and vegetation. Material is processed on-site when possible (chipping, mulching) or loaded for hauling. We work methodically to avoid damage to retained features.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How long does land clearing take?

    We offer a wide range of paving services, including residential driveways, commercial parking lots, asphalt paving, concrete paving, and paving repair and maintenance.

  • Do I need permits for land clearing in Fort Myers?

    The duration of a paving project depends on various factors, including the size and complexity of the job. Typically, residential projects can be completed within a few days, while larger commercial projects may take longer. We will provide a timeline during the consultation phase.

  • What happens to the cleared material?

    We use high-quality materials such as asphalt and concrete to ensure durability and longevity. Our team can help you choose the best material based on your project requirements and budget.

  • Can you save certain trees while clearing the rest?

    Yes, we stand by the quality of our work and offer warranties on our paving services. Specific warranty details can be discussed during your consultation.

  • What about protected trees in Southwest Florida?

    Certain trees require permits before removal—primarily mangroves in coastal areas and large specimen trees in some municipalities. We identify protected species during site assessment and handle permit coordination if removal is allowed.

  • How much does land clearing cost?

    Yes, we offer free estimates for all our paving services. Our team will assess your project and provide a detailed quote based on your specific needs.

  • Can you clear land that's overgrown or hasn't been maintained?

    Yes. Overgrown lots with years of vegetation growth are routine for us. We have equipment designed for heavy brush and can reclaim properties that look impenetrable.

  • What about storm damage cleanup?

    We mobilize after hurricanes and tropical storms for debris removal and hazardous tree clearing. If you have fallen trees, broken limbs, or storm debris, we can typically respond within days of storms (depending on severity and demand).

  • Do you handle erosion control during clearing?

    Yes. On sloped sites or in areas with erosion concerns, we install silt fencing or other erosion control measures before clearing begins. This prevents sediment runoff during and after clearing operations.

  • Can you coordinate with my builder?

    Absolutely. We work directly with builders and general contractors to time clearing with construction schedules and ensure sites are prepared to their specifications.
