Houston's Brush Challenge

Understanding vegetation in the Greater Houston area

Greater Houston has diverse vegetation due to its position between coastal prairie and piney woods ecosystems. Mesquite and brush are increasingly common throughout the region:

  • •West Houston: Katy, Cypress, Fulshear
  • •North Houston: Spring, Conroe, Tomball
  • •Southwest: Sugar Land, Richmond, Rosenberg
  • •Rural areas: Waller, Grimes, Wharton Counties

As Houston expands, more landowners need brush clearing for development, pasture restoration, or property improvement. We handle projects from suburban lots to large ranches.

Houston Mesquite Removal FAQs

Common questions from Greater Houston landowners

Mesquite removal in the Greater Houston area typically costs $1,500-$4,500 per acre depending on density and removal method. Basic forestry mulching runs $1,500-$2,800/acre, mulching with stump treatment $2,000-$3,800/acre, and complete root grubbing $2,800-$4,500/acre. Houston's generally flatter terrain and less severe infestations often mean lower costs than West Texas.
Yes, mesquite is present throughout the Greater Houston area, particularly in western and northern counties (Waller, Fort Bend, Montgomery). It's most common on undeveloped land, rural properties, and pastures. The coastal prairie had less mesquite historically, but it has spread significantly and is now a common brush species across the region.
Yes, mesquite WILL regrow if only cut without root treatment. This is true throughout Texas, including Houston. Mesquite's deep root system (60+ feet) allows it to sprout from the root crown after cutting. For permanent removal, you need root grubbing, stump treatment with herbicide, or ongoing retreatment of sprouts.
Houston's vegetation is diverse. Besides mesquite, common brush includes: yaupon holly, tallow trees (Chinese tallow), privet, hackberry, and various native shrubs. Many Houston properties have mixed vegetation requiring a combination of clearing techniques. We assess your specific brush mix and recommend the best approach.
For herbicide effectiveness, late spring through early summer (May-July) is ideal when mesquite actively translocates. However, physical clearing (mulching, grubbing) can be done year-round. Houston's mild winters make winter clearing very practical. Avoid clearing during heavy rain periods common in spring.
Yes! We clear mesquite and brush on properties of all sizes throughout Greater Houston. Many homeowners in expanding suburbs like Katy, Cypress, Spring, and Conroe have mesquite on their lots. We use equipment appropriate for the property size. Check with your HOA and city for any tree ordinances before clearing.
