A lot that has been mown and a lot that has been cleared look the same from the road for about six weeks. Then the stumps sprout, the vines come back through, and the ground turns out to be too uneven and too soft to put a fence on, let alone anything heavier.
South Florida makes this worse than most places. Brazilian pepper, Australian pine and pothos will all regenerate from what is left behind — cut at ground level, they treat it as pruning. Clearing that lasts means going after the root mass and the seed source, not just the part you can see from the property line.
Then there is the grade. Clearing exposes low spots that the vegetation was hiding, and in a place that can take several inches of rain in an afternoon, a low spot is a pond. Rough grading after the clearing is what turns a cleared lot into a usable one, and it is the step most often missing when a quote comes in surprisingly low.
