  • •Multiple stems - multi-trunk growth pattern
  • •Drought resistant - thrives in harsh conditions

Our Solution

  • ✓Root grubbing - removes the root crown completely
  • ✓Stump treatment - herbicide prevents regrowth
  • ✓Follow-up program - we monitor and retreat
  • ✓Local expertise - we know South Texas mesquite

Mesquite Removal Methods & Pricing

Choose the right approach for your property and goals

Forestry Mulching Only

Removes aboveground growth. Best for light infestations or initial clearing.

$2,000 - $3,500/acre

Mulching + Stump Treatment

Mulching plus herbicide application. Good long-term control.

$2,500 - $4,500/acre

Root Grubbing

Complete root removal. Most permanent solution for heavy infestations.

$3,500 - $5,500/acre

Follow-up Treatment

Treating regrowth 6-12 months after initial clearing.

$500 - $1,500/acre

Our Recommendation

For most San Antonio properties with significant mesquite, we recommend mulching + stump treatment with a follow-up plan. 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 Grazing Land

Mesquite outcompetes grasses. Removing it restores pastures and dramatically increases grazing capacity for cattle operations.

Conserve Water

A mature mesquite uses 50+ gallons daily from deep groundwater. Clearing mesquite preserves water resources for other uses.

Improve Wildlife Habitat

While some mesquite benefits wildlife, dense thickets reduce habitat quality. Strategic clearing improves habitat diversity.

Increase Property Value

Mesquite-infested land is worth less. Cleared, usable acreage commands higher prices and is easier to sell.

San Antonio Mesquite Removal FAQs

Common questions from South Texas landowners

Mesquite removal in the San Antonio area typically costs $2,000-$5,500 per acre depending on density and removal method. Basic forestry mulching runs $2,000-$3,500/acre, mulching with stump treatment $2,500-$4,500/acre, and complete root grubbing $3,500-$5,500/acre. Mesquite costs more than cedar because root treatment is often necessary to prevent regrowth.
Yes, mesquite WILL regrow if only cut or mulched without root treatment. Unlike cedar, mesquite has an aggressive root system that sprouts from root fragments. For permanent removal, you need either: 1) Root grubbing to remove the root crown, 2) Herbicide stump treatment after cutting, or 3) Ongoing monitoring and retreatment of sprouts for 2-3 years.
The most permanent mesquite removal combines forestry mulching with root treatment. Options: 1) Root grubbing (most permanent but highest cost) - mechanically removes the root crown; 2) Stump treatment (effective, lower cost) - apply herbicide like Remedy/Triclopyr to cut stumps within 30 minutes; 3) Mulching + follow-up treatment - treat resprouts for 2-3 years until root reserves exhaust.
Yes, mesquite wood has significant commercial value - it's prized for BBQ smoking, furniture, and flooring. Before clearing, consider whether salvaging large mesquite logs could offset removal costs. However, most South Texas mesquite is scrubby brush rather than large timber. We can advise during your property assessment.
Mesquite has one of the deepest root systems of any plant - taproots can extend 60+ feet to reach groundwater. This is why mesquite is so difficult to kill permanently. Surface treatments alone are often insufficient. Root grubbing removes the critical 'root crown' where regrowth originates, typically 12-18 inches below surface.
Late spring through early summer (May-July) is often recommended for mesquite treatment because the plant is actively growing and translocates herbicides more effectively. However, physical removal (mulching, grubbing) can be done year-round. Fall and winter offer more comfortable working conditions in South Texas. The key is committing to follow-up treatment regardless of when you start.
