EARYLAND CLEARING SERVICES
We clear acreage of all sizes across the Texas Hill Country — from dense cedar thickets to overgrown pastures. Whether you're preparing land for development, improving ranch productivity, or cleaning up neglected property, our heavy equipment crews get the job done right.
WHAT WE DO
- Complete vegetation removal or selective clearing
- Stump grinding and root removal
- Grading and leveling after clearing
- Debris hauling and disposal included
Why Land Clearing Matters in the Hill Country
Cedar and brush don't just take over land — they take over water. Mature cedar trees can drink 30+ gallons of water per day, choking out springs, drying up creek beds, and crowding out native oaks and grasses. Cleared land restores grazing capacity, opens up sight lines, makes property more valuable to buyers, and brings back the springs and wildlife habitat the land used to support.
TREE & BRUSH REMOVAL OPTIONS
We offer two efficient ways to clear your land depending on your goals, budget, and how clean you want the final result.
Cut & Haul Off
- Trees and brush are cut, loaded, and removed from the property
- Leaves the area fully cleared and ready for building or use
- Best for clean, finished results
Mulch / Grind On-Site
- Trees and brush are ground into mulch directly on the property
- No hauling required
- Leaves a natural layer that helps with erosion control
- Faster and more cost-effective option
OUR PROCESS
-
01
Property Walk & Assessment
We walk the acreage with you, flag trees to keep, identify drainage and erosion concerns, and discuss your end goal — pasture, building site, or sale-ready presentation.
-
02
Clearing Plan & Quote
You get a clear plan: what's removed, what stays, what equipment we'll use, how debris is handled, and exactly what it costs — no surprises.
-
03
Crew & Equipment Mobilization
We bring the right machines for your terrain — forestry mulchers for selective work, dozers for heavy push, excavators with grapples for stacking and loading.
-
04
Clearing Execution
We work systematically across the acreage, preserving flagged trees and protecting any infrastructure on the property — fences, water lines, and access roads.
-
05
Stump, Debris & Cleanup
Stumps ground or pulled to your spec, debris either mulched in place, burned (where permitted), or hauled off. Land left ready for the next step.
-
06
Final Walkthrough
We walk it with you before we leave. You see exactly what was done, where things stand, and what to watch in the first growing season.
CLEARING METHODS COMPARED
Different goals call for different approaches. Here's how the three main clearing methods stack up on Hill Country land.
| Option | Speed | Cost / Acre | Result | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Forestry Mulching | 3–8 acres/day | $1,500–$3,500 | Mulched material left as ground cover, helps erosion | Selective clearing, oak preservation, erosion-prone slopes |
| Dozer Push & Pile | 5–15 acres/day | $1,000–$2,500 | Cleared to dirt, debris piled for burning or hauling | Full clearing for pasture or development, heavy cedar |
| Grub & Haul | 2–5 acres/day | $2,500–$5,000 | Stumps and roots fully removed, ready for grade | Building pads, septic sites, anywhere stumps can't remain |

WHAT DRIVES THE COST
Every Hill Country property is different. Here's what affects pricing on this kind of work — and what we look at when we walk your land.
Terrain & Rock
Limestone outcroppings and steep grades slow equipment and may require rock work before clearing can finish.
Vegetation Density
A pasture with scattered cedar clears fast. A 30-year-untouched thicket takes longer and uses more equipment time.
Debris Handling
Mulch-in-place is cheapest. Burn piles are middle-cost. Haul-off adds the most depending on distance to disposal.
Acreage Size
Mobilization cost is fixed — larger projects spread it across more area, lowering the per-acre rate.
Property Access
Tight gates, narrow roads, and remote locations add mobilization and equipment-positioning time.
Selective vs. Total
Marking and preserving specific oaks and hardwoods takes more operator time than wholesale clearing.
