Hedgers, Inc.
A Youngman family business based in Lake Placid, Florida — providing professional citrus grove services to commercial growers and grove operators in Highlands County and Central Florida since 2004.
A Florida Agricultural
Company
Florida Grove Hedgers, Inc. is an active Florida corporation based in Lake Placid, Florida, in Highlands County. The company was incorporated in Florida in 2004 and has maintained continuous active status with the Florida Division of Corporations since that time.
Public business records identify Florida Grove Hedgers in the categories of grove services, citrus grove services, and citrus grove management. The company is operated by the Youngman family, with Frank Youngman serving as Director and Registered Agent, and family members Wyatt Youngman and Talon Youngman as officers of the corporation.
Lake Placid is located in Highlands County — one of Florida's established citrus-growing regions. The area has a long history with citrus production, and the local agricultural community includes grove owners, operators, and agricultural service providers who support commercial citrus operations in the region.
Florida Grove Hedgers provides specialized agricultural services — including hedging, topping, skirting, and grove maintenance — to citrus growers and grove operators in the area.
Specialized Citrus Grove Services
Florida Grove Hedgers provides specialized agricultural services focused on citrus tree and grove management. Our services include citrus tree hedging, topping, skirting, and comprehensive grove maintenance.
These services address the practical needs of commercial citrus grove operations. Hedging maintains consistent row width and equipment access. Topping manages canopy height for operational requirements. Skirting creates ground clearance beneath the canopy. Grove maintenance encompasses the ongoing work required to keep a commercial citrus grove organized and operational.
We work with commercial grove owners, agricultural operators, and grove managers who need professional citrus grove services performed with appropriate equipment and agricultural knowledge.
How We Work
Grove-Specific Solutions
Every citrus grove is different. Tree variety, planting density, row spacing, grove age, and operational requirements all vary. We approach each grove based on its specific conditions and the goals of the operator.
Professional Equipment
Citrus grove services require specialized agricultural machinery. We use professional equipment suited to commercial grove operations — not residential landscaping tools.
Practical Communication
Grove operators need service providers they can communicate with effectively. We prioritize clear, practical communication about project scope, scheduling, and service completion.
Local Knowledge
Based in Lake Placid in the heart of Highlands County, we understand the local agricultural environment, seasonal patterns, and the practical realities of Florida citrus grove operations.
Why Grove Owners Choose Professional Grove Services
Commercial citrus grove management requires specialized knowledge, appropriate equipment, and practical experience with grove operations. Professional grove services provide grove owners and operators with the capabilities required to maintain organized, accessible, and productive grove properties.
Hedging, topping, and skirting are not tasks that can be effectively performed with standard landscaping equipment. These operations require agricultural machinery designed for grove work — machines that can move efficiently through grove rows, maintain consistent results across large acreages, and operate safely in the grove environment.
Professional grove service providers also bring operational experience with citrus groves. Understanding how to approach different tree varieties, how to work within grove row spacing, and how to coordinate service work with the operational schedule of the grove are all part of providing effective professional grove services.
Florida's Citrus Grove
Heritage
Florida has a long and significant history with citrus production. Citrus groves have been part of the Florida agricultural landscape for well over a century, and the state has been one of the major citrus-producing regions in the United States for generations.
Highlands County, where Florida Grove Hedgers is based, is part of Florida's interior citrus-growing region. Lake Placid and the surrounding communities are situated in an area with a strong agricultural heritage connected to citrus production. The landscape of Highlands County includes commercial citrus groves that have been part of the local economy for many years.
Florida's citrus industry faces ongoing challenges — including weather events, disease pressures, and changing agricultural conditions. These challenges make professional grove management more important, not less. Well-maintained groves with organized canopies, accessible rows, and properly managed tree structures are better positioned to respond to management interventions and continue productive operations.
Grove maintenance — including hedging, topping, skirting, and canopy management — is a fundamental part of professional citrus grove operations. These practices support the operational efficiency of the grove, maintain equipment access, and keep tree structure organized over time.
Florida Grove Hedgers operates in this agricultural context, providing the specialized grove services that commercial citrus operations in Highlands County and the surrounding region depend on.
