Excavation
We are an excavation contractor in Tampa, FL. Our excavators dig foundation pits, pool holes, drainage lines, and utility trenches on residential lots. Tampa Bay sand and a high water table change how a hole is cut, and we plan for both.
Land clearing is one of the main services we run across Tampa. Most lots here fight back. Palmetto root balls sit deep. Brazilian pepper grows back from a cut stump. Underbrush fills in fast because Florida never really stops growing. Our crews take a lot down to bare ground with excavators and skid steers. Trees come out with the root ball when you want the ground clean. Everything we cut gets loaded into our own dump trucks and hauled off. Builders call us before a foundation goes in. Homeowners call us when a back lot gets away from them.
Construction Site Development is a family business. Two brothers run it, Daniel and Pedro Gonzalez. They carry on work their family has done in construction for years. The LLC was formed in 2018. We are based in the Citrus Park area of Tampa, in northwest Hillsborough County. Daniel is out on job sites himself, and some days he drives the dump truck. We run our own excavators, skid steers, a wheel loader, and a backhoe. Our dump trucks run under USDOT 3805736, so the hauling stays in house. We take land clearing jobs across Pinellas and Pasco counties as well.

Every land clearing job starts with a look at the lot in person. We mark what stays: the trees you keep, the fence lines, the property corners, and any well or septic lid. We call 811 for utility locates before any digging starts. That service is free and Florida law requires it. The call goes in early, because locates take a few days. Then we pick equipment by access. An open acre takes a full size excavator. A narrow infill lot takes a skid steer and a compact machine that fits through a gate.
Brush clearing comes first. Underbrush and small growth go out, which opens sight lines and lets the machines move. Trees come down next. Stumps get pulled with the root ball when the ground has to stay clean for a foundation. Brazilian pepper needs the roots out, because a cut stump sends up new shoots within weeks. Everything we cut gets loaded and hauled off the lot in our dump trucks. We rake the ground down at the end so you can see what you actually own.
Land clearing gets priced by the lot, so we look at a few things. Size is the first one, whether that is a quarter acre infill lot or five acres of raw land. Then density. Light brush over open ground moves fast. A wall of pepper trees and palmetto slows everything down. Tree count and trunk size matter, along with whether stumps come out or stay. Access matters just as much. If a truck and an excavator cannot get through the gate, the job takes longer.
Two more things move the number. The first is haul off volume, because cleared vegetation has to leave the lot and the disposal run costs time. The second is what you want the ground to look like when we finish. Rough cleared is one job, and cleared plus leveled for a build is another. Wet ground after a summer rain can slow a lot down too. Estimates are free. Call us at (813) 453-5883 with the address and a rough idea of what is out there. We will come look.
A lot of our land clearing work is infill. Someone buys an older house on a good street. The house comes down, and the lot has to be clean before a new build starts. Those lots sit close to homes on both sides. We bring compact equipment and keep dust and traffic down. Driveways and mailboxes stay where they are. The other half of the work is raw land. Nobody has touched the growth in years, and the palmetto is chest high.
We work out of Citrus Park, which puts most of Hillsborough County inside a short drive. We clear lots in Lutz, Brandon, Fish Hawk, and Wesley Chapel. We also cross into Pinellas and Pasco counties. Hillsborough County requires a permit to remove most trees, and grand oaks have their own rules. Check with the county before you plan a removal. Once a lot is clear, most people need the next step. We handle excavation, land grading, fill dirt delivery, and site preparation for the build.

(813) 453-5883From the first look at the job to the final walk-through, here is exactly how it goes.
Tell us what needs to come down, get cleared, or get filled. A few photos help. We cover Hillsborough, Pinellas, and Pasco counties from our Tampa base.
Daniel or Pedro prices the job at the property, free. We check the structure, the ground, and the access, then give you one number for the whole job.
Our own excavators, skid steers, and dump trucks. The teardown, the dirt work, and the hauling stay with one company, so the schedule holds.
Debris goes out on our trucks. The ground gets graded flat, the street gets cleaned up, and the lot is ready for whatever comes next.

We are an excavation contractor in Tampa, FL. Our excavators dig foundation pits, pool holes, drainage lines, and utility trenches on residential lots. Tampa Bay sand and a high water table change how a hole is cut, and we plan for both.
We do land grading on residential lots across Tampa Bay. Our excavators and skid steers cut the high spots and fill the low ones. The finished slope carries storm water away from your foundation and out to the street or a swale.
We take a raw lot to a build-ready pad. That covers stripping topsoil, cut and fill, stem wall backfill, and compaction in lifts. Your pad ends up at plan elevation, ready for the engineer to test and the slab crew to start.
Standing water in the yard and water against the slab call for the same fix. We dig a gravel trench with perforated pipe in the bottom. The line slopes to a discharge point away from the house. Catch basins and downspout tie-ins handle the water where it starts.
We deliver fill dirt across Tampa Bay in our own dump trucks. Most dirt pits drop the load and leave. We bring the machine too, so the fill gets spread and packed down where you want it.
We break out old driveways, patios, pool decks and slabs across Tampa Bay. Our own dump trucks haul the broken concrete off the property. The breakout and the disposal happen on the same job. Free estimates before any work starts.
Two brothers, Daniel and Pedro Gonzalez, run the company and carry on their family's work in the construction field. Daniel is on the job sites himself. The people who price your job are the people who do it.
Our own dump trucks run under USDOT 3805736, and our own excavators and skid steers do the loading. Debris leaves on our schedule, not a bin company's. The teardown and the haul-off are one job and one price.
Demolition, clearing, excavation, grading, fill and the pad, handled by the same team in one sequence. No waiting on a second sub to show up. The lot moves from standing house to build-ready ground without a handoff.
We run out of the Citrus Park area of Tampa and work Hillsborough, Pinellas and Pasco counties every week. Short runs mean machines show up when we said they would. Call and you get Daniel or Pedro, not a call center.
A house that needs to come down, a lot that needs clearing, a yard that holds water? Call or send the form and we will look at the job with you and price the whole thing, teardown through final grade. The estimate is free.
