Land Clearing Services in Texas

Land clearing costs in Texas typically range from $1,500 to $3,000 per acre for light brush clearing and $3,000 to $6,000+ per acre for heavy clearing with trees. Factors affecting price include vegetation density, terrain, accessibility, debris disposal needs, and location within Texas. DFW metro areas may have slightly higher rates. We provide free on-site estimates so you know exactly what to expect.

Permit requirements vary significantly by county and city in Texas. Generally, cities like Dallas, Fort Worth, and Plano require permits for clearing above certain thresholds, especially in areas with protected trees or near waterways. Rural areas may have fewer requirements. We're familiar with regulations throughout our service areas and can help guide you through the permitting process.

We clear all types of Texas vegetation including cedar (Ashe juniper), mesquite, post oak, live oak, hackberry, brush, underbrush, prickly pear cactus, and invasive species like Chinese tallow and salt cedar. Our specialized equipment handles everything from light brush to dense cedar thickets that are common in the Hill Country and Central Texas.

Timeline varies by project size and complexity. A small residential lot (under 1 acre) can often be completed in 1-2 days. Medium projects (1-5 acres) typically take 3-7 days. Larger commercial or ranch projects may take several weeks. During your free consultation, we'll provide a detailed timeline based on your specific property.

Land clearing can be done year-round in Texas, but fall and winter (October-February) are often ideal. The cooler temperatures are easier on equipment and crews, deciduous trees are bare making access easier, and the ground is typically firmer. Spring and summer work is also possible, though we may need to work around extreme heat days.

Yes! Cedar (Ashe juniper) clearing is one of our specialties. Cedar has become invasive throughout Central Texas and the Hill Country, consuming water resources and increasing fire risk. Our forestry mulching equipment is perfectly suited for cedar removal, and the resulting mulch helps prevent erosion and improve soil health.

Absolutely. Texas is a leader in renewable energy, and we provide specialized land clearing for solar installations. We understand the specific requirements including vegetation removal, grading needs, and maintaining proper drainage. We've worked on solar projects from small residential installations to large utility-scale solar farms.

With our forestry mulching method, vegetation is processed on-site into nutrient-rich mulch that's spread across your property. This eliminates hauling costs and provides natural ground cover. For projects requiring complete removal, we can haul debris to appropriate facilities. Timber with value can often be salvaged or sold.
