Marion County
Land Clearing in Reddick, FL
Horse farm clearing, arena pads and fence lines in Reddick and northwest Marion.
Reddick and the northwest corner of Marion County is thoroughbred country — rolling ground, limestone close to the surface, and some of the best-known farms in the state. Work out here is held to a different standard, and rightly so. Arena pads have to be flat and they have to drain, because standing water in a riding surface is a soundness problem, not a cosmetic one. Fence lines have to be cut clean and true. Nothing gets left behind that a horse could step on. We would rather take an extra half day and hand back a job the farm manager does not have to fix.
We are based in Ocala and Reddick is inside our normal working radius, so you are not paying for a crew to drive across the state to look at your property. Estimates are free and we do them in person — walking the ground is the only honest way to price this work.
Limestone, karst and farm standards in Reddick
The Town of Reddick is small and incorporated, but most of the farms around it sit in unincorporated Marion County, inside the horse-farm country the county protects through its Farmland Preservation Area. Under that rolling ground is limestone, sometimes only a few feet down, and the area is karst — sinkholes and low depressions show up, and they change how we lay out an arena or a run-in pad.
A good arena base here means stripping the organics, grading to a slight fall so water leaves the riding surface, and compacting in lifts. Hitting rock partway down means deciding whether to work around it or bring in fill, and we make that call with you, not for you. Other regular jobs around Reddick: reclaiming paddocks grown up in blackberry and cherry laurel, taking out wild cherry trees that are toxic to horses, clearing new fence lines so posts can be set straight, and pulling old barns that are past saving.
