Lot and acreage clearing in Loxahatchee: palmetto, brush, Brazilian pepper and melaleuca, small stumps, cleared by a Bobcat T740 with a 60" grapple. $1,385 a day with an operator. Free estimates.
Loxahatchee is a mailing address, not one jurisdiction. Most of it, including The Acreage, is unincorporated Palm Beach County, so building and land permits go through the county's Planning, Zoning and Building Division and its ePZB portal. The Town of Loxahatchee Groves runs its own permitting, and the City of Westlake has its own building department. Which one governs your lot decides who we call before clearing.
Randolph Bell is a State of Florida certified general contractor (CGC1528750), and Bell Land Services works under Bell Engineering and Construction Corporation. Every estimate is free, and the Bobcat T740 with a 60" grapple is $1,385 a day with an operator.
The Acreage sits inside the Indian Trail Improvement District, which maintains the road network and the drainage swales along the front of every lot. A new driveway or culvert crossing there needs district approval, separate from any county permit. Heavy equipment has to cross that swale to reach your lot, so we plan the access, and protect the culvert, before the Bobcat comes off the trailer.
Also ask whether your lot has a culvert crossing yet. A lot with no crossing needs one before equipment and later trucks can get in, and that is the first thing to settle on a bare acre.
Most Loxahatchee lots are on well and septic. Before we clear near a house site, mark the well head, the septic tank and drainfield, and any buried lines; a grapple should never run over them. Sunshine State One Call (811) locates utilities for free before digging.
Wet-season ground is soft. Clearing in the dry months means less rutting and a lot that is ready when the builder is. Clearing in the wet season is possible, but the schedule moves with the weather.
A cleared acre usually leads somewhere. Building on it is on our Loxahatchee construction page; a roof for it is on roofing in Loxahatchee. Neighborhood associations out here can find help on property management in Loxahatchee, and a farm-dinner or event kitchen is on food truck service in Loxahatchee.
Our Bobcat T740 with a 60-inch grapple is $1,385 a day with an operator. The total follows the days the lot needs, which depends on growth, access and whether debris is hauled or mulched. Estimates are free: call (561) 779-3213.
It depends on where the parcel sits. Most of Loxahatchee and The Acreage is unincorporated Palm Beach County, permitted through the county's Planning, Zoning and Building Division. Loxahatchee Groves and Westlake have their own permitting. We confirm from the parcel record.
Clearing alone may not, but a driveway or culvert crossing in the Indian Trail Improvement District needs district approval separate from the county. We plan access so the swale and culvert are protected.
Yes. The grapple pulls the growth with its root mass, which matters because stumps left in the ground tend to sprout again.
Yes. Mark the well head, tank and drainfield before we start so the machine stays clear of them. Utility locates through Sunshine State One Call (811) are free.
Yes, but soft ground means more rutting, and the schedule moves with the weather. The dry months are easier on the lot.
