Trusted Land Clearing Contractors in Homosassa, FL
Serving property owners along the Homosassa River, in Old Homosassa and Riverhaven Village, and throughout Citrus County.
Homosassa, FL Land Clearing & Site Prep Services
Homosassa sits low, at an average elevation of only about three feet, where the spring-fed Homosassa River winds seven and a half miles from its source at Ellie Schiller Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park out to the Gulf of Mexico. The land here runs from dense, oak-canopied waterfront lots in Old Homosassa and Riverhaven Village, to drier upland ground east toward Sugarmill Woods, to marsh and hammock fringe near the Chassahowitzka National Wildlife Refuge. Underneath most of it sits shallow karst limestone, which means ground conditions here aren’t just about what’s growing on the surface.
That mix of spring-fed waterways, low elevation, and karst bedrock is exactly why land clearing and site prep work in Homosassa takes local knowledge. A waterfront lot near Halls River Road can carry real storm-surge exposure — Hurricane Helene pushed surge miles up that corridor in 2024, well past any standard flood map. A rural parcel bordering the Homosassa Wildlife Management Area calls for a completely different approach: pasture clearing and trail work rather than tight waterfront brush removal. H&R Landworks scopes every Homosassa job around which of these conditions actually applies to your property.
H&R Landworks has worked properties throughout Homosassa and the surrounding Citrus County service area, from waterfront lot clean-up in Old Homosassa to larger acreage and hunting-property work near the Homosassa WMA. Owner Dylan Reeves walks every property in person, so a job near the springshed gets scoped differently than a wooded lot out toward Sugarmill Woods.
Our Services in Homosassa, FL
Every service H&R Landworks offers is available to Homosassa property owners, from waterfront lot clean-up near the river to larger acreage and hunting-property work on the city’s rural edges. Below is the full lineup.
Full-property and acreage clearing for Homosassa construction sites, agricultural use, or general property improvement. Because so much of the ground here sits on shallow karst limestone, we clear with an eye toward what’s underneath the surface, not just what’s growing on it.
Services include:
- Property clearing
- Agricultural and farm land clearing
- Land clearing for construction
- Land clearing for property owners and builders
Residential and small commercial lot clearing for builders, developers, and property owners in Homosassa — from older waterfront lots in Old Homosassa and Riverhaven Village to newer parcels closer to Sugarmill Woods.
Services include:
- Residential lot clearing
- Small commercial lot clearing
- Lot clearing and grading prep
Reclaim overgrown pasture on rural Homosassa acreage near the Homosassa Wildlife Management Area for cattle, horses, hay, or general agricultural use, clearing back palmetto and saplings without tearing up usable grazing ground.
Services include:
- Overgrown pasture reclamation
- Cattle and horse pasture clearing
- Hay field clearing
Open up access roads, riding trails, and property lines on Homosassa properties — common on rural acreage bordering the Homosassa WMA and Chassahowitzka National Wildlife Refuge, where boundary lines get overgrown fast in Florida’s wet season.
Services include:
- Access road clearing
- Riding trail clearing
- Property line and fence row clearing
Get rid of palmetto, scrub, vines, and underbrush that’s choking out your Homosassa property. This is a regular call in Old Homosassa and along Riverhaven Village’s canal-front lots, where dense oak-and-palmetto growth crowds right up to the water.
Services include:
- Palmetto and scrub removal
- Vine and underbrush clearing
- Overgrown lot cleanup
Stumps left over from old tree work, storm damage, or previous clearing on Homosassa lots. After a storm like Hurricane Helene pushes surge and wind damage up the Halls River Road corridor, stump removal is often the last step before a waterfront property is usable again.
Services include:
- Storm-damage stump removal
- Old tree stump grinding and removal
- Post-clearing stump cleanup
Trees that are in the way, dead, leaning the wrong direction, or in the path of new construction on your Homosassa property. Dense oak canopy in older neighborhoods like Old Homosassa means storm-damaged and hazard trees are a regular part of this work.
Services include:
- Dead and hazard tree removal
- Construction-path tree removal
- Storm-damaged tree removal
Light mulching for 2-to-6-inch trees and brush — a good fit for trail work and property cleanup near the Homosassa WMA and Chassahowitzka refuge boundaries, where selective clearing is often preferred over full removal near sensitive wetland edges.
Services include:
- Trail and pathway mulching
- Retention area mulching
- Property-line mulching
Trail work, food plot prep, sight lines, and general habitat improvements for hunting properties near the Homosassa Wildlife Management Area, where 5,000+ acres of pine, pasture, and forested wetland border private acreage throughout the area.
Services include:
- Food plot prep
- Shooting lane and sight line clearing
- Hunting trail clearing
- Wildlife habitat improvement
Small-job skid steer work for Homosassa properties that don’t need a full clearing crew — brush mowing, grading, and dirt moving on tighter waterfront lots or acreage where access is limited.
Services include:
- Brush mowing
- Grading
- Dirt moving and leveling
Shape the ground for drainage, building pads, or driveway prep — a real consideration in Homosassa given the shallow karst limestone and soft, wetland-adjacent soil found on many low-lying and river-corridor properties.
Services include:
- Drainage grading
- Building pad prep
- Driveway base grading
New driveways for Homosassa properties getting their first one, and rebuilds for driveways washed out or rutted after heavy rain — common on the long, tree-lined access roads found off CR 490 and Yulee Drive.
Services include:
- New driveway installation
- Driveway rebuilds and repairs
- Gravel driveway installation
Local Expertise in Homosassa — We Know This Area
Homosassa sits at an average elevation of only about three feet, built around the spring-fed Homosassa River as it runs seven and a half miles from Ellie Schiller Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park to the Gulf. Shallow karst limestone underlies much of the area, with documented sinkhole activity in both the Homosassa and Homosassa Springs ZIP codes — a real consideration on any job involving excavation or grading, not just clearing. Ground conditions shift fast here too: hydric, poorly-drained soils near the river and marsh give way to better-drained upland ground toward Sugarmill Woods.
Our crew works Homosassa’s full range of access roads — from US-19/98 (Suncoast Boulevard) through the commercial core, out CR 490 and Yulee Drive into Old Homosassa’s historic waterfront lots, and along Halls River Road (CR 490A) toward Riverhaven Village and Chassahowitzka River Estates. We’ve cleared canal-front lots where oak canopy and palmetto crowd right up to the water, and worked rural acreage further out where the ground turns drier and more open toward Sugarmill Woods.
The job mix in Homosassa runs wide: waterfront lot clean-up and brush removal in Old Homosassa and Riverhaven Village, pasture and hunting-property work near the Homosassa Wildlife Management Area, and new-construction site prep along the growth corridor toward Sugarmill Woods. Properties near the Chassahowitzka National Wildlife Refuge also see a steady mix of trail clearing and habitat improvement work tied to the area’s hunting-land use.
Because Homosassa Springs sits inside a SWFWMD-monitored springshed, and because the Homosassa WMA and Chassahowitzka refuge both border large stretches of private land here, we stay aware of wetland setback and environmental review considerations whenever clearing or grading work runs close to those boundaries. Storm exposure matters too — Hurricane Helene’s 2024 surge traveled miles up Halls River Road well outside mapped flood zones, so grading and site elevation get real attention on river-adjacent Homosassa properties, not treated as an afterthought.

Frequently Asked Questions — Homosassa, FL
How much does land clearing cost in Homosassa, FL?
Cost depends on lot size, how overgrown the property is, and ground access. A waterfront lot clean-up in Old Homosassa runs very differently than a larger acreage or pasture job near the Homosassa WMA. We walk every Homosassa property in person before quoting so the estimate reflects your actual site. Call for a free, no-obligation estimate.
What should I look for in land clearing contractors in Homosassa?
Look for a contractor who understands the area’s karst limestone and springshed-adjacent ground conditions, walks the property before quoting, and explains pricing up front. Owner Dylan Reeves personally handles every Homosassa job from estimate to equipment operation.
Do I need a permit to clear land near the Homosassa Springshed?
It depends on the property and how close it sits to the springshed, wetlands, or the Homosassa or Halls Rivers — SWFWMD manages environmental review in this watershed. We’ll flag anything that looks like it needs a permit before we start; for most straightforward residential brush and lot clearing away from the water, a permit typically isn’t required, but we recommend confirming with Citrus County for your specific parcel.
Do you handle tree removal in Homosassa?
Yes. We remove dead, hazard, storm-damaged, and construction-path trees throughout Homosassa, including the dense oak canopy common in Old Homosassa and Riverhaven Village. Stump removal is typically handled as part of the same job.
Do you clear land near the Homosassa Wildlife Management Area?
Yes — we regularly work rural acreage bordering the Homosassa WMA, including trail clearing, food plot prep, and pasture reclamation. Because this land connects to managed conservation acreage, we stay aware of property lines and wetland boundaries when clearing nearby.
Do you serve the Old Homosassa and Riverhaven Village area?
Yes. Waterfront and canal-front lot clearing in Old Homosassa and Riverhaven Village is a regular part of our Homosassa work — usually palmetto, vine, and overgrowth removal right up to the water’s edge. We’re familiar with how these older riverfront properties are laid out.
