⚠️ The Texas Mesquite Problem

Mesquite Has Taken Over Texas

Once confined to river bottoms, mesquite now covers more than 56 million acres of Texas—roughly one-third of the state. This aggressive invader is consuming water that should grow grass, reducing your land's productivity and value.

💧

Water Competition

A single mature mesquite can consume 50+ gallons of water daily, robbing moisture from grasses and other vegetation.

🐄

Reduced Grazing

Dense mesquite reduces grass production by up to 90%, dramatically lowering livestock carrying capacity.

🌳

Impenetrable Thickets

Mesquite forms dense, thorny thickets that restrict livestock movement and make pasture management impossible.

📈

Rapid Spread

Livestock spread mesquite seeds in manure, and it resprouts aggressively when cut, making it hard to control.

The Solution

Why Forestry Mulching Beats Traditional Methods

Mesquite resprouts aggressively when cut or bulldozed. Forestry mulching destroys the root crown to prevent regrowth.

❌ Traditional Cutting
  • ✗Mesquite resprouts multiple stems
  • ✗Creates dense brush thickets
  • ✗Requires repeated treatments
  • ✗Higher long-term costs
⚠️ Bulldozing
  • ~Disturbs topsoil significantly
  • ~Creates erosion problems
  • ~Expensive disposal/burning
  • ~May miss root crown
✓ Forestry Mulching
  • ✓Grinds below root crown
  • ✓Prevents regrowth
  • ✓Single-pass efficiency
  • ✓Mulch protects soil

Common Questions

Mesquite Removal FAQs

Everything you need to know about removing mesquite from your Texas property.

Mesquite removal in Texas typically costs $1,500-$4,000 per acre. Light mesquite infestations run $1,500-$2,500/acre, moderate density is $2,500-$3,500/acre, and heavy/mature mesquite stands can be $3,500-$4,000+/acre. Factors include tree size, density, terrain, and whether you want selective clearing or complete removal.
Forestry mulching is the most effective method for mesquite removal. Unlike cutting or bulldozing, forestry mulching grinds mesquite trees below ground level, destroying the root crown that allows mesquite to resprout. This single-pass method also leaves beneficial mulch that prevents erosion and suppresses regrowth.
Mesquite has aggressively spread across Texas over the past 150 years, now covering over 56 million acres. It out-competes native grasses for water, reduces forage for cattle, forms impenetrable thickets, and a single tree can consume 50+ gallons of water daily. Fire suppression and overgrazing have accelerated its spread.
Mesquite is notoriously resilient and will resprout from the root crown if not properly removed. Cutting mesquite at ground level typically results in multiple sprouts. Forestry mulching that grinds below the root crown has the highest success rate. Some regrowth may occur and can be addressed with follow-up treatment.
Mesquite is most problematic in West Texas, the Texas Panhandle, South Texas brush country, and North-Central Texas. Major problem areas include the Rolling Plains, Edwards Plateau, South Texas Plains, and Cross Timbers regions. It continues to spread eastward into previously mesquite-free areas.
Yes, mesquite removal provides significant benefits: increased water availability for grass and livestock, improved pasture carrying capacity, better wildlife habitat, enhanced property value, and reduced fire risk from dead mesquite. Studies show grass production can increase 10x after mesquite removal.
Mesquite can be removed year-round in Texas, but optimal timing depends on your goals. Summer removal when the tree is actively growing may provide better root crown kill. Dormant season (winter) is easier on equipment and allows you to see the tree structure better. We clear mesquite year-round.
Yes, our forestry mulching equipment handles mesquite trees of all sizes, from dense brush to mature trees up to 12 inches in diameter. Very large trees may require chainsaw cutting before mulching. We can also selectively leave specimen mesquites if desired for shade or aesthetics.

Our mesquite clearing services are particularly valuable in West Texas, the Texas Panhandle, South Texas brush country, and North-Central Texas where mesquite infestations are most severe. A single mature mesquite tree can consume 50 or more gallons of water daily—water that could instead support grass growth for your livestock.

With mesquite removal costs ranging from $1,500 to $4,000 per acre depending on density and tree size, clearing mesquite is an investment that pays dividends through increased grass production (up to 10x), improved livestock carrying capacity, and enhanced property value.
