Working in Ocoee
Downtown homes and the 429 corridor
Ocoee has two sides. Near the historic downtown, the homes are older and the jobs are teardowns, pool removals and broken driveways. Around Lake Olympia, Forest Lake, Prairie Lake and the 429 corridor, the growth is newer, and the work leans toward slab removal, driveway replacements and site prep for additions. The Census median year built for Ocoee is 2000, so a lot of the city's concrete and pools are now reaching the age where owners replace them. Ocoee sits just south of our Apopka yard, which makes it one of the fastest places for our trucks to reach and an easy place to fit in a small job.
Ocoee permits driveways, and every tree
Ocoee is stricter than most of its neighbors in two ways. First, the city permits concrete slabs, patios, driveways and pavers with a site plan, so a driveway tear-out and replacement here is a permitted job. Second, removing any tree needs a permit, even a dead one, and every lot has to keep at least three trees. Permits are filed online at permits.ocoee.org through the Building Division at City Hall, 1 North Bluford Avenue, 407-905-3104. Since July 1, 2026, any work claimed as exempt under HB 803 needs an Exemption Application and a Zoning Verification Letter. Debris goes to the Orange County Landfill on Young Pine Road.

“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.”
