Sunward Palm Coast Land Clearing clears land in Palm Coast, Florida, and the surrounding parts of Flagler, Volusia, St. Johns and Putnam counties. We answer your call, walk the land, write the scope and estimate, and schedule and manage the job through to the hand-off. The work we do is clearing lots for new homes, forestry mulching, brush and palmetto clearing, clearing and grubbing, stump grinding, selective clearing, clearing the lot next door, acreage and commercial sites, and we scope each job against the rules of the place where the land sits.
What do you clear, and what don't you?
Clearing covers what grows on the land and what it leaves behind: trees, palmetto, brush and vines, the stumps and roots where the finish needs them out, and the debris. It stops where earthwork starts. Fill, compaction, final grading, the culvert and sod belong to the site work after clearing, and our scope names them so nothing falls between the trades. The guide to what clearing includes sets out the line.

Which rules do you work to?
We start every scope from the rules, not from the machine. In Palm Coast that means no clearing until the home's building permit is issued, a lot clearing permit with a survey showing every tree of 6 inches and up as kept or removed, tree removal approval through Urban Forestry, silt fence kept through sod and landscaping, and a clean swale. Bunnell, Flagler Beach, unincorporated Flagler County and the other areas each have their own permit path, and we confirm it for your address.
State rules sit on top: an FWC permit for any work within 25 feet of a gopher tortoise burrow, environmental resource permits for wetlands, and Florida Forest Service burning rules that keep debris from being burned on almost any residential lot. The guide to clearing a lot to build and the lot assessment lay these out.
Where do you work?
We work in Palm Coast and Flagler County (Bunnell, Flagler Beach, Beverly Beach, Marineland), north Volusia County (Ormond Beach, Ormond-by-the-Sea, Holly Hill, Daytona Beach, South Daytona, Daytona Beach Shores), St. Johns County (St. Augustine, St. Augustine Beach, St. Augustine Shores, St. Augustine South) and Palatka. Each service area page covers what differs there: who issues the permit, the tree rules, the soils and the debris costs.
How does a job run?
- First call. Tell us the address or parcel number, what you plan for the lot, which trees should stay and whether the house permit has been issued. Phone photos help.
- Lot walk. We find the lot lines, flag your keepers, note trunk sizes for the permit list, look for tortoise burrows and wet ground, and check access from the street.
- Clearing day. We put silt fence up first, cut the brush, take down the trees in the plan and grub the house footprint, then mulch, spread or haul the debris as agreed.
- Hand-off. We leave the swale clean and walk the lot with you or your builder, including what comes next: grading, sod and the final inspection.
How do you price a job?
We don't charge a flat rate per lot. The price comes from what grows there, how many stumps come out and how, the access, and where the debris goes, so we price each job from its written scope after walking the land. Before that, the cost estimator and the Palm Coast cost guide show our typical ranges and what pushes a lot toward the high end. Permit, tree replacement and disposal fees are set by the city, county or facility and are separate.
