Residential Lot Clearing in Melbourne

Residential lot clearing is usually about reclaiming space rather than starting from bare ground. Selective clearing keeps the trees worth keeping, and where a specimen oak is worth saving we will say so before it is on the ground.

Through our residential lot clearing service you can prep your land for new construction, creating a new outdoor space or simply reclaiming property that has overgrown out of control. We can help you with removing shrubs, rocks, debris, stumps and trees from your space to make it safe and usable again.

We have a fully equipped team along with an arsenal of job specific equipment including bucket trucks, cranes for safe removal, excavators and rigging equipment to help get the job done quickly, safely and to the highest quality standards possible. As a fully certified company we adhere to nationally recognized ANSI standards to ensure quality no matter how big or small the job is.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ranger Tree Care did a fantastic job protecting my house from a tree that was weakened and rotting. Initially, I wanted to trim only a portion of the tree, but they pointed out that it was splitting and was reaching a point at which it would be dangerous during a storm. Following their recommendations, I decided to cut the tree entirely. Once it was cut, the internal rot showed itself, and it was clear that their recommendations were spot on. While their professionalism and expertise were greatly appreciated, one notable thing upon completion was that they did a fantastic job cleaning up, doing their best to leave everything the way it was before they arrived, minus the tree. Thank you, Kevin, Melanie, Stephanie, and your tree-cutting professionals!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a very good experience with Ranger Tree Care.  Prompt response, detailed estimate with photos of work to be done received same-day, fair price and fast scheduling. Took down large dead tree. Crew arrived on time, worked as a team.  Office staff was courteous and efficient.  Impressive clean-up afterward; hardly any sign they'd been here. Took care not to damage lawn sprinklers.  Tree limbs, trunk & debris hauled away as promised. Safety priority - insurance document included with estimate.  Professional operation.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ranger tree care crew did an awesome job on removing my two trees and grinding up multiple stumps on my property. They also did it at a super reasonable price for the amount of work that was done.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I live in WNC and Ranger Tree Care was part of the crew that came out to our house to remove debris from Hurricane Helene. Our job involved half a dozen root balls, all in precarious locations (near septic, well, and a large buried propane tank). I am very grateful for the amount of care and attention that went into the work they did. I'd encourage anyone who lives in their FL service area to support this veteran-owned business. As someone who has worked with 6 different tree services in the last 12 months, I would hire this crew in a heartbeat!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A crew of 4 professionals came to my house to remove a very tall bismark palm tree which was too close to my house. They came one day after I asked them to come. They quickly had the tree down and cut it into pieces and removed every last leaf. They swept my driveway clean and blew all dirt away. I couldn't be happier. They has the best price of the 4 companies I contacted. I told the owner I couldn't pay for 2 more weeks because that's when I get my social security check. They came anyway. Now that is top notch service. I highly, highly recommend them. Very polite and efficient.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a great experience with Ranger Tree Care, who provided tree trimming services for large oak and mango trees as well as large canary Island date palms on our property. The estimate was clear and detailed and the pricing competitive. They arrived on the day and time agreed to and were professional, courteous, and effective. Adam was on site himself, performing and supervising the others. It was very clear this is a customer-oriented company that is willing to go the extra mile to acheive complete customer satisfaction. When my wife was not totally pleased with the appearance of the canary palms, Adam spent considerable additional time to perform additional shaping to achieve her full satisfaction. They completely cleaned up the premises and hauled away all the debris. The final results of all their work was excellent. We will definitely use them again.

Commercial Site Prep

Commercial land clearing projects require specialized tools, equipment and a whole different set of skills. For a company, this is a very different operation to execute as compared to a residential project. Not to mention, there is more red-tape and documentation involved.

Ranger Tree Care is proud to have worked with large-scale developers, contractors and municipalities throughout Brevard County and the Orlando corridor on multiple commercial-scale projects.

With FEMA-level experience and plenty of work done for municipalities we are a go-to choice for commercial site prep services. We can quickly and efficiently manage even the toughest site clearing projects while ensuring adherence to safety protocols, maintaining transparent documentation and strict compliance with city regulations.

Whether you have a mega commercial project in the pipeline, a utility project, a public work endeavor, or any either large-scale end goal in mind, we can help you smooth out the path.

Brush & Debris Hauling

Clearing generates a surprising volume of material, and where it goes is part of the price. We process on site, haul away, and leave the parcel usable rather than covered in windrows.

Included in all our clearing services is a dedicated brush and debris hauling service. Land clearing generates a lot of waste material in the form of cut down trees, ground up stumps, large chunks of plant roots along with plenty of rocks and soil.

By default we provide clients the option to either use/repurpose the material they want or we can haul it all away and dispose of it safely. In many cases this waste material can be repurposed by other facilities or recycled or it can be disposed of at approved sites.

With our land clearing services you have the peace of mind that at the end of the day you will have a clean and usable site. If you need someone to help you out with debris and brush hauling as a standalone service, we can help you out there too.

Get in touch with Ranger Tree Care today to see how we can help you with creating a clean usable space.

Burning is rarely a practical option on a Brevard County parcel. The Florida Forest Service lists land clearing among the activities that require a burn authorization, and the setbacks for a residential land clearing operation are 300 feet from any occupied building, 100 feet from any roadway, and 50 feet from any wildlands, brush or combustible structure. For non-residential clearing the first of those figures rises to 1,000 feet. Only naturally occurring vegetation may be burned at all. Most Melbourne lots cannot meet those distances, which is why we grind, repurpose and haul material off site instead of building you a burn pile.

Crane & Heavy Equipment Use

Ranger Tree Care is equipped with sufficient heavy-duty equipment to tackle jobs of any scale. When working with large trees or working on large commercial properties, standard hand-held equipment is far from enough. At Ranger Tree Care our fleet includes bucket trucks, cranes, excavators and specialized grinding and mulching equipment to tackle even the most challenging projects.

Moreover, we have a highly experienced and fully trained team that operates all this machinery strictly following OSHA safety standards.

With this capable lineup of equipment we can safely carry out removals of large trees, we can effortlessly lift and move large objects to clear roads and access routes and we can quickly cover large multi-acre projects in a matter of days. All this while ensuring we are working according to regulations and without posing a serious risk to the environment and infrastructure around us.

This capability to effortlessly handle large-scale projects makes Ranger Tree Care an ideal solution for residential and commercial needs in Melbourne and the Brevard County area.

Environmental Responsibility

Environmental responsibility is central to carry out our operations at Ranger Tree Care. Even for tasks such as land clearing projects we ensure we are doing it in an environmentally responsible manner. Protected species are a high priority for us and we make sure they are handled according to local regulations. Our teams go the extra mile to ensure recycling is done whenever possible and erosion controls are in place on every site to manage land quality and lower the impact on the environment.

We also provide free consultations to our clients to help them manage their needs in a way that has the smallest impact on the environment and also keep the long-term health of their land in mind.

When you choose Ranger Tree Care, you’re choosing a partner who values safety, compliance, and environmental care just as much as efficiency.

Gopher tortoises turn up regularly on undeveloped parcels around Melbourne and the wider Brevard County coast. State rule prohibits molesting, damaging or destroying a gopher tortoise burrow except as authorized by Commission permit, and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission states that tortoises must be relocated before any land clearing or development takes place, with the property owner holding the permit first. We walk a site looking for burrows before the machines are booked, so a permit question surfaces while it is still cheap to answer.

Melbourne and Brevard County HOA & Permit Navigation

Regulations across Brevard County and Central Florida can be tight. Oftentimes clearing land can require multiple approvals and/or permits from the concerned city, HOA or county. Ranger Tree Care helps its clients navigate this maze of paperwork and documentation by providing all the necessary prerequisites so clients can quickly get approvals.

This includes things such as proof of insurance, compliance with ANSI/OSHA standards and clear descriptions of the work. With this much preparation our clients don’t have to face costly delays or fines.

Partner up with Ranger Tree Care today so you can focus on your project while we handle everything else related to land management.
