No Judgment - Just Solutions

We've seen it all. Ranch land that hasn't been touched in 20 years. Properties where you can't even find the fence lines anymore. Acreage so overgrown the owner is embarrassed to show anyone.

Here's the thing: it doesn't matter how it got this way. What matters is what you want to do about it now. Our job is to give you options, provide honest pricing, and - if you decide to move forward - transform your property back into something useful.

Every cleared property we do started as someone's "embarrassing" situation. They all end the same way: the owner amazed at what was hiding under the brush.

How Properties Get Neglected

Sound familiar? You're not alone.

Life Gets Busy

Work, family, health issues - land maintenance falls to the bottom of the list. A few years pass and suddenly brush has taken over.

Remote Property

If you don't live on the land, it's easy to let it go. Weekend plans get cancelled, visits become less frequent, and brush grows unchecked.

Previous Owner Neglect

You bought property that was already overgrown, or the previous owner stopped maintaining it before sale.

Overwhelmed by Scale

What started as a manageable property became overwhelming. Each year the clearing job seems bigger and more expensive.

Equipment Limitations

You maintained it yourself until brush got too thick for your tractor. Now you need professional equipment.

Economic Factors

Cattle prices dropped, lease income stopped, or other financial pressures meant maintenance stopped.

Property Recovery Timeline

What to expect after clearing

Year 1

Initial Clearing

Remove existing brush and trees. Property is cleared to desired level. Some soil disturbance visible.

Year 2-3

Grass Recovery

Native grasses return to cleared areas. Some maintenance mowing may be needed to control regrowth.

Year 3-5

Established Pasture

With proper maintenance, pastures become well-established. Land reaches full productivity.

Ongoing

Maintenance

Annual or semi-annual mowing/mulching keeps brush from returning. Much easier than initial clearing.

Neglected Property FAQs

There's no such thing as too bad for us. We've cleared properties with 30+ years of neglect, land completely overtaken by cedar or mesquite forests, and areas so thick you couldn't walk 10 feet into them. Modern equipment like forestry mulchers and bulldozers can handle anything. The question isn't 'can it be cleared' but 'what will it cost and is it worth it for your goals.'
Neglected property typically costs $1,500-$4,000+ per acre depending on how severe the overgrowth is. Light neglect (2-5 years, brush under 6 feet): $1,500-$2,000/acre. Moderate neglect (5-10 years, thick brush): $2,000-$3,000/acre. Severe neglect (10+ years, forest-like): $3,000-$4,000+/acre. We provide exact quotes after assessing your property.
Yes, in most cases native grass will naturally reseed from dormant seeds in the soil, especially if you had grass before the neglect period. Recovery typically takes 1-2 growing seasons. We can recommend seeding if needed for faster recovery or to establish specific grass varieties for grazing or wildlife.
The key is regular maintenance. Once cleared, annual or bi-annual mowing/mulching keeps brush from reestablishing. This costs a fraction of initial clearing - typically $200-$500/acre for maintenance. Some owners handle maintenance with their own equipment; others prefer we return for annual service.
Yes, we can clear properties with difficult or no road access. We may need to cut an access path first (often becomes a permanent road), or in some cases we can use smaller equipment that fits on trailers. Remote access does add some cost for mobilization, but it's usually manageable. We'll assess access as part of our quote.
Clearing typically helps maintain ag exemptions, not hurt them. Overgrown land may not qualify as actively managed for agriculture. Restored pastures with grazing potential strengthen your ag exemption case. We recommend consulting your county appraisal district, but in our experience, clearing is viewed positively for ag status.
