Working in Longwood
Wooded, mature lots in Longwood
Think big oaks, shaded yards and settled streets: that is most of Longwood, from Wekiva Springs and Sweetwater Oaks to The Springs and Sanlando. The Census median year built is 1983, so many homes and the trees around them have been there for decades. That combination drives the jobs we see most: full stump and root-ball excavation where grinding would leave voids that settle, dig work around big root systems, and pool removals on shaded older lots. Longwood is specific about pools. The city wants a pool either pulled out entirely or left with its floor broken through and its beams destroyed before clean fill goes in. Tree removal needs a city permit, but owner-occupied single-family homes are exempt. Longwood sits close to our Apopka yard, so our crew is here often.
Longwood's demolition permit asks for more
The City of Longwood Building Division at 174 W Church Ave, 407-260-3486, asks for more than most cities before a demolition starts. The file needs a notarized owner letter that the building is empty, a Notice of Commencement, a written demolition method, a debris disposal plan, and dust and runoff controls. Utility disconnect letters, septic abandonment and a licensed AC contractor to recover refrigerant are required too. Silt fence goes around the whole property, and inlet protection is inspected before the permit is released. The city inspects the day work starts and again once the site is regraded and grassed, and it can stop a job with daily fines if erosion controls slip. Longwood debris is trucked to the county landfill in Geneva.

“We hired Mintel Land Management to demo a house and the job was completed on time and everything was done correctly, inspectors were glad to have a good contractor on the job.”
“I have used this company over a dozen times with the removal of trees and stumps in my yard. The owner has become more of a friend then just a demolition company.”
“Reliable and dependable. Straightforward pricing does great work. Will definitely use again.”
“We contacted Kyle in hopes that he would be able to remove a very large pine stump from our back yard and grade the area after removal. He was above and beyond helpful and even cleared the vacant property lines on both sides of our property! He was very professional and respectful of our property, he was on time and his prices were very reasonable for the work performed. We will definitely be using his services in the future for our driveway widening project and any other future projects. 6 stars, I highly recommend using Mintel Land Management.”
“Excellent experience from start to finish. Fast, professional, and easy to work with. Would definitely recommend and use again.”
“Kyle came and pulled a few fallen trees out at my property and graded out another part. He came when he said he was going to as well.”
