Had Shadow Cat come and clear a portion of our property.  David the owner/operator came and cleared trees, weeds, overgrown vines for a reasonable price.   We are delighted with the result!

Very good at communication and David did most of everything I asked to be done. Very conscious about protecting the property while mowing what needed to be mowed and mulch. Yard looks fantastic now with all the Palmetto mostly gone.

If you are looking for a reliable forestry mulching and land clearing company, stop searching and hire ShadowCat Services. They completely transformed a tight 20x30 area packed with overgrown bamboo, hurricane debris, and dead trees to get it ready for a fence. Unlike other contractors, their communication is spectacular. They use text updates and property prep guides so you know exactly what to expect, and they actually call you to ensure everything goes smoothly. They selectively navigated around the mature trees I wanted to keep and followed my exact guidance. Incredible residential service, unbeatable efficiency, and zero hassle. I’d give them 100 stars if I could!

Quick & painless! Husband & wife owned business. I couldn’t have asked for a smoother process. First my conversation with Sharri, five stars. Sent pictures. David shows up a few days later & gets the job done in four hours, five stars. Both have humble personalities. Doing work I could never have physically done myself. SO needless to say what they did for me was priceless. Forestry mulching is where it’s at. Nothing leaves the property, so the ground can continue to enjoy the nutrients as it breaks down. THANK YOU

We recently had our property cleared with forestry mulching and the results exceeded our expectations. The transformation was incredible — thick overgrowth, brush, vines, and small trees were completely cleared while leaving the land looking natural and clean instead of torn up or destroyed like traditional bulldozing can do. What impressed us most was the professionalism and precision. Every area was carefully mulched down into nutrient-rich ground cover, which not only made the property immediately usable but will also help with erosion control and healthier soil over time. The equipment handled difficult terrain with ease, and there was far less damage to the surrounding landscape than we expected. Dave was punctual, hardworking, knowledgeable, and took the time to understand exactly what we wanted preserved versus removed. He opened up views that hadn’t been seen in years and made the entire property feel larger, safer, and more beautiful. If you need land clearing, invasive brush removal, trail creation, fire mitigation, or property restoration, forestry mulching is absolutely the way to go,

Shadow Cat did an excellent job for us here at our location. From my first contact with them to completion of the job I was impressed with their professionalism, timeliness and excellent work. The job was completed on time and above and beyond my expectations. Dave did an outstanding job carefully clearing the property. Very impressed with his precision and ability. Sherry was sure to communicate with me to make sure they understood what I was asking for and then that I was able to understand the scope of the work and the contract. I feel that the price I paid for the work done was very reasonable given the high quality of the work. I felt really grateful to find a company that was professional and responsive and knowledgeable in the job that I wanted done, and not a fly by night company, or company with people that had low Professional Standards and very little experience. Thank you Shadow Cat for the excellent work that you did here at our place. I would hire this company again.

I used Shadowcat for some land clearing on my property which was overgrown with heavy underbrush. David was great to work with. He comes out and walks the land with you beforehand and listens to what your requirements, concerns and objectives are and makes good suggestions, but ultimitely does exactly what you want and agree to. The clearing came out great and him and Sherrie were a pleasure to work with. I would highly reccomend shadowcat for any forestry mulching and land clearing projects you have. Great company and very trustworthy. I will use them again.

I used ShadowCat Services to clear my 4.4 acre lot in Clermont.  They did an absolutely awesome job!!  I can’t say enough about how knowledgeable, friendly, and professional Sherri and David were during the whole process.  I would definitely use them again and refer them to others.
