Services
Our Services in Dade City, FL
H&R Landworks brings its full range of land clearing and site prep services to Dade City and the surrounding Pasco County area. Every service listed is available to residential, agricultural, and small commercial property owners throughout the Dade City market.
Land Clearing
Full-property and acreage clearing for construction sites, agricultural use, or general property improvement. We take down brush, small trees, and scrub, deal with stumps and debris, and leave the ground in a usable state. Common for new builds, agricultural conversions, and reclaiming neglected land.
Lot Clearing
Residential and small commercial lot clearing for builders, developers, and property owners getting ready to break ground. We work to your survey lines, remove what needs to come out, and leave the lot ready for the next phase of construction.
Pasture Clearing
Reclaim overgrown pasture for cattle, horses, hay, or general agricultural use. We pull out the brush and small trees that have taken over, deal with the root mass, and put the field back to work.
Trail and Fence Line Clearing
Open up access roads, riding trails, and property lines. We cut clean lines so you can put up new fence, drive a tractor through, or just see where your property ends.
Brush Removal
Get rid of palmetto, scrub, vines, and underbrush that’s choking out the rest of your property. Brush removal is often a first step before bigger clearing work, but plenty of properties just need this and nothing else.
Stump Removal
Stumps left over from old tree work, storm damage, or previous clearing. We grind or pull them out so you can mow over the spot, build on it, or just stop catching it with the bush hog.
Tree Removal
Trees that are in the way, dead, leaning the wrong direction, or in the path of new construction. We take them down safely and clean up after ourselves.
Forestry Mulching
Light mulching service for 2-to-6-inch trees and brush. Ideal for pond banks, retention areas, walking paths, trails, and property line cleanup. The mulched material stays on the ground and breaks down naturally — no big debris piles to deal with.
Hunting Property Improvements
Trail work, food plot prep, sight lines, and general habitat improvements for hunting properties. We work the way hunters want the property to look — opened up, but not destroyed.
Skid Steer Services
Small-job skid steer work where a bigger machine won’t fit or isn’t worth the trip. Brush mowing, grading, dirt moving, and general utility work around residential and small commercial properties.
Rough Grading
Shape the ground for drainage, building pads, or driveway prep. Rough grading is the step between “land’s clear” and “ready to pour concrete or set a structure.”
Driveway Installation
New driveways for properties getting their first one, and rebuilds for driveways that have been washed out, rutted, or never built right in the first place. We grade the base and put the material down so it lasts.
About Us
Dade City, FL Land Clearing & Site Prep Services
Dade City is the county seat of Pasco County and the heart of eastern Pasco’s agricultural heritage — a city whose motto is literally ‘In the Hills of Pasco County,’ and the terrain backs it up. At roughly 118 feet in elevation, Dade City sits noticeably higher than coastal Pasco, with rolling terrain, sandhills, and the Withlacoochee River defining the eastern edge of the county. The surrounding area produces kumquats, citrus, and cattle, and the land reflects that history: large agricultural parcels, rural homesteads, and working properties that need serious clearing and site prep when they transition to new uses.
Eastern Pasco County is experiencing spillover residential growth from Wesley Chapel and Zephyrhills as those areas build out, and Dade City is seeing that pressure translate into new homesite clearing, rural lot prep, and pasture conversion work at an increasing pace. Withlacoochee River Park sits just northeast of the city and draws property owners who want rural acreage with water and trail access — and those same properties often need fence line clearing, trail work, and access road installation. The combination of established agricultural land and incoming residential demand creates a steady, varied workload for land clearing contractors in the Dade City market.
H&R Landworks serves Dade City and eastern Pasco County from our base in Hudson, FL — an easy run up US-301 through the heart of Pasco County. Owner Dylan Reeves works directly with Dade City property owners, rural landowners along the Withlacoochee River corridor, and builders bringing new residential projects to the eastern Pasco market.
How It Works
How We Work
Honest, straightforward pricing
You'll get a clear estimate before we touch the property. If something on the job changes — say we find more stumps than we expected, or the ground's worse than it looked — we'll stop and talk to you before adding anything to the bill. No surprises.
Fast response, free estimates
Land clearing is one of those jobs where you usually want it done last week. We try to get back to inquiries the same day and get out to look at the property quickly. Estimates are always free.
Communication from start to finish
A lot of contractors go quiet between the quote and the job, and again between the job and the final invoice. We don't. You'll know when we're coming, what we're doing, and when we're done.
No
shortcuts
Land clearing done wrong leaves behind hidden stumps, deep ruts you can't drive over, and brush piles that never get hauled away. Not us. We finish every job thoroughly, safely, and the right way.
About Us
Local Expertise in Dade City — We Know This Area
Dade City’s ‘In the Hills of Pasco County’ motto is not marketing copy — the terrain here is genuinely different from coastal Pasco County, and it changes how land clearing and site prep work gets done. At roughly 118 feet in elevation, with rolling sandhills and the Withlacoochee River defining the eastern edge of the county, Dade City properties require attention to drainage and grade that flat Florida parcels don’t demand. The sandhill soils common on higher ground drain fast and don’t compact like clay, but the lower-lying areas near the river corridor shift to heavier, wetter ground. H&R Landworks assesses those conditions during every estimate walk rather than showing up with a one-size approach.
Our crews run the US-301 corridor through Pasco County regularly, and we know the Dade City area road network — the county roads that cut east toward the Withlacoochee River, the agricultural roads connecting rural parcels to state highways, and which routes can handle a loaded equipment trailer. That logistics familiarity means we stage jobs efficiently and get equipment on the ground faster than contractors who are learning the road network as they go.
The project types we see in the Dade City market reflect eastern Pasco County’s character as an agricultural-to-residential transition zone. Pasture clearing and ranchland conversion to residential homesite use makes up a significant portion of the work — large parcels with overgrown fields, old fence rows, and access roads that haven’t been maintained. We also do a steady volume of rural lot clearing for new homesite builds as spillover from Wesley Chapel and Zephyrhills brings buyers into the Dade City market. Fence line and trail clearing on working agricultural and hunting properties near the Withlacoochee River corridor is another consistent project type.
Eastern Pasco County is under active development pressure, and Pasco County Code Compliance enforces overgrown property violations throughout unincorporated areas around Dade City. Properties near the Withlacoochee River and Withlacoochee River Park also need clearing approaches that respect the riverine and sandhill habitats adjacent to the work area. We identify both the compliance considerations and any environmental boundary conditions early in the estimate process so the clearing plan is right from the start, not revised after the equipment is already on-site.

Why Us
Why Dade City Homeowners and Contractors Choose H&R Landworks
You Talk to the Owner on Every Job
Dylan Reeves answers the phone, walks the property, and is on-site during the work. No dispatcher, no sub crew, no communication gap between estimate and job. For Dade City and eastern Pasco County property owners who’ve dealt with contractors who disappear after the quote, that direct accountability is the thing that matters most.
We Know Eastern Pasco County's Terrain
H&R Landworks works regularly throughout Pasco County, and we’re familiar with the hill country terrain, sandhill soils, and drainage characteristics that make Dade City area land clearing different from coastal Pasco work. We account for the Withlacoochee River corridor’s environmental considerations, the grade variation on eastern Pasco’s hillier parcels, and the agricultural context of the properties we’re working on — because those details matter on every estimate and every job.
Honest Pricing — No Surprises
Every job starts with a clear, written estimate before we touch the property. If something changes — unexpected root mass, different soil conditions than the surface showed, access that requires a different approach — we talk to you before changing the scope or the price. No add-ons, no pressure.
Free Estimates — Fast Response
We get back to Dade City inquiries the same day and move quickly to schedule property walks. Estimates are always free. We’d rather earn your business with a fair number than pressure you into a commitment after an artificially low quote.

What Our Clients Say
Frequently Asked Questions — Dade City, FL
How much does land clearing cost in Dade City, FL?
Land clearing costs in Dade City and eastern Pasco County vary based on acreage, vegetation density, terrain, and debris handling. The larger rural parcels common in the Dade City area often involve more work than a typical residential lot — old fence rows, larger stumps, and access road conditions to navigate. H&R Landworks provides free estimates for every Dade City project. We walk the property, assess the conditions, and give you a written number before work begins. Call (352) 251-1095 to schedule.
What should I look for in land clearing contractors in Dade City, FL?
or the Dade City and eastern Pasco County market, the most important factors are experience with rural and agricultural land clearing, owner involvement on each job, and clear upfront pricing. Large rural parcels in the Dade City area require a different approach than a suburban lot — more varied terrain, larger equipment needs, and often more complex debris handling. H&R Landworks is owner-operated, regularly works eastern Pasco County properties, and provides written estimates before any work begins.
Do you clear land near the Withlacoochee River or Withlacoochee River Park in Dade City?
Yes — H&R Landworks works on properties throughout the Dade City area, including rural acreage near the Withlacoochee River corridor and adjacent to Withlacoochee River Park. Properties close to the river or the park’s sandhill and riverine swamp habitats may have environmental boundaries that affect how clearing is approached, and we assess those considerations during the initial estimate walk. For most rural clearing work in the area, we can proceed efficiently while respecting any environmental edges that apply to the specific property.
Do you handle tree removal in Dade City, FL?
Yes — tree removal is one of H&R Landworks’ core services throughout Dade City and Pasco County. We handle hazard trees, storm-damaged trees, dead trees, and trees in the path of construction. After the tree is down, we clean up the site completely, and we can coordinate stump grinding or removal as a follow-on step. Call (352) 251-1095 for a free estimate.
Can you reclaim overgrown pastureland near Dade City?
Absolutely — pasture reclamation is one of the most common project types we handle in the Dade City and eastern Pasco County area. Agricultural land that’s been allowed to return to scrub and brush is a familiar situation here, and H&R Landworks clears overgrown fields for cattle, horses, hay production, or general agricultural use. We pull the invasive brush and small trees that have moved in, deal with the root mass, and return the field to working condition. The sandhill terrain and soil types common in eastern Pasco County affect how this work gets done, and we account for that on every pasture clearing estimate.
Do you handle stump removal on larger rural properties near Dade City?
Yes — H&R Landworks handles stump removal on rural properties of all sizes throughout Dade City and eastern Pasco County, including larger agricultural parcels with multiple stumps spread across several acres. We assess whether grinding or full extraction is the right approach based on what you need to do with the land afterward and the specific ground conditions. Estimates are always free; call (352) 251-1095 or use our contact form to schedule a walk.
