Land Clearing for World Golf Village property owners
Land Clearing in World Golf Village starts with the property, not with a catalog. Our work spans World Golf Village, from the World Golf Hall of Fame through to International Golf Parkway. Most of what we handle here involves golf-course homes, gated community properties and lanai and pool enclosures.
Before anything gets designed we look at what we're building on. Engineered pads around golf course drainage, where changing a grade affects a shared stormwater system, and no natural waterfront — retention lakes and course drainage define what can be added at the rear of a lot.
What World Golf Village homeowners run into
Site work in World Golf Village is mostly small-scale and heavily constrained. Engineered pads around golf course drainage, where changing a grade affects a shared stormwater system. That means the lot's grade is part of a community stormwater system that a homeowner cannot lawfully alter, so re-grading for a pool, addition or outbuilding has to work within that plan. Layered HOA and architectural review approvals ahead of county permitting, with golf-course setback rules on top. Tree removal usually requires approval from both the county and the community.
The other factor specific to World Golf Village: 1990s-2010s community housing, tightly governed, where outdoor living upgrades are the dominant project type. It changes what we expect to find once we start, and therefore what we're willing to quote before we do.
The issuing office is St. Johns County Building Services. That gets checked on the first visit, not after plans are paid for.
What that adds up to is a land clearing approach built around World Golf Village specifically: the site investigated before the design commits, materials chosen for the conditions they'll actually live in, and a schedule that reflects the real permitting timeline rather than an optimistic one.

Signs it's time to call
These are the things owners tell us on the first call. If more than one sounds familiar, it's worth a look.
- A previous clearing left stumps and debris pushed into a pile that's still there.
- You need an elevation certificate and don't know what the finished pad has to be.

What actually drives the cost
We won't quote a number sight unseen. These are the factors that move it, so you can see where your project is likely to land before we ever walk the property.
- Fill volume
- If the pad needs to come up two feet, that's a large volume of imported material plus compaction. Whether fill can be balanced on site is the biggest single variable.
- Wet season timing
- Site work in the dry season is faster and cheaper. Where the schedule allows it, timing the dirt work is a genuine cost saving.
Serving World Golf Village.
We do site work on World Golf Village lots — grading for additions and outbuildings, drainage correction and limited clearing within community and county rules. Golf-course homes, gated community properties and lanai and pool enclosures surround the work. Working inside an existing stormwater plan is the defining constraint here.
Because we're based in Keystone Heights, World Golf Village and its neighbors get worked together: St. Johns, Nocatee, Switzerland and St. Augustine are all on the same rounds.

Can I re-grade my yard in World Golf Village?
Within limits. Engineered pads around golf course drainage, where changing a grade affects a shared stormwater system. Your lot's grading is part of a community drainage design, and altering it can push water onto a neighbor and violate both the county permit and the covenants. In World Golf Village we design drainage fixes that work with the existing plan rather than against it.
How much does land clearing cost in World Golf Village?
Not without seeing the property, and any contractor who does is guessing. In World Golf Village the biggest single variable is usually the site itself — engineered pads around golf course drainage, where changing a grade affects a shared stormwater system — which changes the scope before anything else does. We'll walk it and give you a real number.
Does land clearing in World Golf Village need a permit?
Yes. Approvals run through St. Johns County Building Services. Layered HOA and architectural review approvals ahead of county permitting, with golf-course setback rules on top. We manage the applications and inspections; you should never be chasing a reviewer.
What's your availability for work in World Golf Village?
We'll come look at a World Golf Village property within days. What sets the build start is the permit, and layered HOA and architectural review approvals ahead of county permitting, with golf-course setback rules on top, which affects the timeline. We plan around it rather than hope.
Do you serve World Golf Village and the surrounding area?
Yes. World Golf Village is inside our regular service area from Keystone Heights, and we work throughout St. Johns County — including St. Johns, Nocatee and Switzerland. Call (352) 478-6112 and we'll come look at the property.
Do I need a permit to clear my own land?
Usually yes, at least for grading and often for tree removal. Several jurisdictions in our area have tree ordinances with mitigation requirements. We confirm before clearing, not after.
How much does it cost to clear an acre?
Per-acre pricing is close to meaningless because vegetation density and debris disposal drive the cost, not area. We price after walking it — anyone quoting per acre sight unseen is guessing.
