Lake City is home base for Sunshine Site Prep. We help homeowners, rural property owners, investors, and builders throughout Columbia County and the surrounding area transform raw land into clean, build-ready property.
Whether you are preparing a homesite, improving rural acreage, or starting a future construction project, we provide honest communication, reliable scheduling, and quality workmanship from the first phone call to the final walkthrough.
Lake City is our home base. The full range of site prep work, from rural acreage to mobile home lots, runs out of here every day.
Homesite clearing, selective tree removal, brush clearing, debris cleanup, and rural land improvement across Lake City and Columbia County.
Mobile home dirt pads, property access, culvert installation, site grading, and build-ready homesite preparation.
House pads, mobile home pads, fill dirt installation, site leveling, and grading for long-term property performance.
Driveway culverts, access culverts, and drainage improvements sized for the lot and area runoff.
Selective tree removal, brush clearing, canopy lifting, and property cleanup that respects the look of the land.
The full sequence so Lake City properties leave us clean, level, drained, and ready for what comes next.
Properties in and around Lake City range from heavily wooded rural acreage to in-fill lots near established neighborhoods. The right approach changes based on what is going on the property, the way water moves across the land, and how you plan to use it long term.
Owner Clifton Kari grew up working around equipment, trees, and rural property improvement. That hands-on background helps Lake City customers make smart decisions about clearing, drainage, and layout before the heavy equipment ever shows up.
Lake City is also where our crew is based, which means projects in Columbia County typically move faster than they would for a contractor driving in from out of town.

One of the most common things we see in the Lake City area is property owners hiring forestry mulching crews before deciding where the home, driveway, or future structures will land.
Buried mulch and debris can settle, create drainage issues, and complicate a future build pad. We help Lake City customers think through future driveway access, drainage flow, and overall property layout before any heavy equipment touches the ground.
Sunshine Site Prep has cleared rural acreage, prepared mobile home sites, and built dirt pads across Lake City and Columbia County.
Sunshine Site Prep was founded by Clifton Kari after years of experience in tree service, landscaping, construction, and property improvement. After investing in real estate and mobile home properties himself, Clifton transitioned fully into land clearing and site prep because he genuinely enjoys helping property owners transform raw land into usable property.
Today, Sunshine Site Prep proudly serves Lake City, Jacksonville, Fruit Cove, and surrounding North Florida communities with professional land clearing and site prep services.
