Mesquite in the DFW Metroplex

Understanding the growing mesquite challenge in North Texas

While DFW was historically blackland prairie with minimal mesquite, this invasive brush has spread significantly over the past century. Today, mesquite is common in:

  • •West DFW: Parker, Palo Pinto, Hood Counties
  • •South DFW: Johnson, Ellis, Hill Counties
  • •North DFW: Wise, Cooke, Grayson Counties
  • •Expanding suburbs: Weatherford, Granbury, Cleburne

As DFW expands into rural areas, more landowners encounter mesquite on their properties. Whether you're developing land or improving an existing property, proper mesquite removal is essential.

Why Mesquite Is Challenging

The facts about mesquite removal

Deep Roots

Mesquite taproots extend 60+ feet to reach groundwater, making it extremely drought-tolerant and difficult to kill.

Aggressive Regrowth

Cut mesquite sprouts from the root crown and fragments. Without root treatment, it returns thicker than before.

Spreading Problem

Cattle spread mesquite seeds. Unmanaged mesquite thickets grow denser each year, taking over pastures and land.

The Good News

With proper removal techniques, mesquite CAN be permanently controlled. Root grubbing removes the regeneration point, and stump treatment kills the root system. We've successfully eliminated mesquite from thousands of acres across Texas.

DFW Mesquite Removal Methods & Pricing

Choose the right approach for your property

Forestry Mulching Only

Removes aboveground growth. Best for light infestations.

$1,800 - $3,000/acre

Mulching + Stump Treatment

Mulching plus herbicide application. Good long-term control.

$2,200 - $4,000/acre

Root Grubbing

Complete root removal. Most permanent solution.

$3,000 - $5,000/acre

Follow-up Treatment

Treating regrowth 6-12 months after initial clearing.

$400 - $1,200/acre

Our Recommendation

For most DFW properties, we recommend mulching + stump treatmentwith a follow-up program. This balances cost and effectiveness. For severe infestations or when complete removal is critical, root grubbing provides the most permanent solution.

Benefits of Mesquite Removal

Restore Pastures

Mesquite outcompetes grasses. Removing it dramatically increases grazing capacity and hay production.

Develop Property

Clear mesquite to prepare land for construction, farming, or other uses. Essential for DFW development projects.

Conserve Water

Each mature mesquite drinks 50+ gallons daily from deep groundwater. Clearing preserves water resources.

Increase Value

Cleared, usable land is worth more. Mesquite-infested property is harder to sell and worth less.

DFW Mesquite Removal FAQs

Common questions from North Texas landowners

Mesquite removal in the Dallas-Fort Worth area typically costs $1,800-$5,000 per acre depending on density and removal method. Basic forestry mulching runs $1,800-$3,000/acre, mulching with stump treatment $2,200-$4,000/acre, and complete root grubbing $3,000-$5,000/acre. DFW rates tend to be slightly lower than South Texas due to generally less severe infestations.
Mesquite is increasingly common in DFW, particularly in the western, southern, and rural areas. Parker County, Johnson County, Hood County, and Wise County have significant mesquite. The urban core has less, but expanding suburban areas often encounter mesquite on undeveloped land. Mesquite has spread significantly over the past century.
Yes, mesquite WILL regrow if only cut without root treatment - this is true whether in DFW or anywhere in Texas. Mesquite has an aggressive root system that sprouts from the root crown. For permanent removal, you need root grubbing (mechanical removal), stump treatment (herbicide), or ongoing retreatment of sprouts for 2-3 years.
Late spring through early summer (May-July) is ideal for chemical treatment because mesquite actively translocates during this period. However, physical removal (mulching, grubbing) can be done year-round. Fall and winter offer comfortable working conditions. The key is committing to follow-up treatment regardless of when you start the initial clearing.
DFW primarily has the same honey mesquite (Prosopis glandulosa) found throughout Texas. However, DFW infestations are often less severe than South/West Texas because the region was historically blackland prairie with less mesquite establishment. That said, mesquite has spread significantly and the root system challenge is the same everywhere.
Yes! We clear mesquite on properties of all sizes in the DFW metro. Many homeowners in expanding suburbs like Weatherford, Cleburne, and Granbury have mesquite on their lots. For smaller lots, we can use compact equipment. Check with your city for any tree ordinances - some DFW cities have regulations on tree removal, though mesquite (being invasive brush) is typically allowed.
