About land & lot clearing in Gotha

From single-lot prep to multi-acre clearing, we work with builders and property owners to clear vegetation cleanly and efficiently — preserving specimen trees where you’d like to keep them.

Tree care in Gotha

Gotha is a small unincorporated community in west Orange County, tucked between Ocoee and Windermere and protected by the county as a rural settlement and, since 1995, a historic preservation district. Its historic core along Hempel Avenue and Gotha Road keeps a century-old canopy — including the six-acre Nehrling Gardens, one of Florida’s earliest experimental botanical gardens, running down to Lake Nally — while the subdivisions that have grown up around Lake Fischer and along Old Winter Garden Road carry much younger plantings. Work here splits accordingly: crown cleaning, deadwood removal, and preservation pruning on the old settlement trees, and structural pruning on the newer stock.

Common trees & palms here: live oak, laurel oak, camphor, sabal palm, southern magnolia, bald cypress.

Areas we cover around Gotha: Nehrling Gardens, Hempel Avenue, Lake Nally, Lake Fischer.

How much does land clearing cost per acre in Central Florida?

Selective clearing of a lightly wooded acre typically runs $2,500–$5,000. Heavily wooded acreage with mature hardwoods, palms, and undergrowth runs $5,000–$9,000 per acre. Multi-acre commercial clearing is quoted per project — economies of scale apply. The variables: tree density, stump removal vs. grinding, debris disposal, and how much specimen-tree preservation is required. We give a written estimate after walking the site.

Do I need a permit for land clearing in Central Florida?

Almost always yes for any meaningful clearing. Cities and counties protect mature trees under local ordinances, especially live oaks, magnolias, and palms over certain calipers. Builders and homeowners typically need a clearing permit, a tree survey, and sometimes a mitigation plan (planting replacement trees) before clearing starts. We help navigate the permit process and document the existing canopy for the application.
