Land clearing in Anna, Texas is the same story as the rest of the 75 corridor, one exit further north. Collin County blackland, deep and dark, with tracts that were running cattle five years ago now sitting in front of a survey crew. What comes off first is rarely timber. It is the fence rows and creek edges where mesquite, hackberry, bois d arc and elm have had forty years to do as they liked.
Around Anna, Melissa, Van Alstyne and Weston we handle fence row and tree line clearing, building envelope and pad prep, pasture reclamation on the acreage that has not sold yet, driveway corridors, and selective work around the pecans and hardwoods worth keeping. Everything grinds in place into mulch, which on blackland is doing real work: this clay takes all the organic matter you can give it and cracks less for having it.
Pricing is straightforward. Skid steer mulchers run $3,000 per day with transport included. High horsepower dedicated mulchers run $4,000 per day plus transport. Photos, a plat or onX pins get most Collin County quotes done the same day. Call 512-400-2693 and a project manager will answer, seven days a week.

Send photos and property details for a fast quote, or meet us on-site and we will walk it with you. Either way you get a firm number, free.
Our crew and machines do the work, selectively and cleanly. The mulch stays right where it falls, protecting the soil and feeding the grass. No burn piles, and no haul off needed.
You get open ground, clean sightlines, and land you can actually use again. If your project calls for full site prep, we handle that too.
Every tract is different, so price comes down to acreage, how thick the fence rows are, what stays, and access. Transport to Collin County is built into the quote up front, so the number you get is the number you pay.
Most companies make you chase a number. Here is ours. The machine we bring depends on the size of your material and the access on your property.
Plus transport to your site
Transport included
Day rates help you budget. When you send photos or have us walk the property, you get a firm total for the whole job, free either way. For a deeper breakdown, read our guide on what it costs to clear land in Texas.
We would highly recommend Pierce Land Clearing. Their professionalism and quick response to questions started with our initial communication with Preston. Dustin was the operator that did the work. The job was completed quickly and we were amazed by the final outcome.

Clearing your own land in unincorporated Collin County needs no permit, and agricultural work is exempt from most regulation in Texas. Inside Anna city limits, clearing tied to a build runs through the city process, and floodplain rules apply along Slayter Creek and the other drainages feeding east. We flag anything that needs attention when we quote.
Estimates usually happen within a few days of your call. Most residential jobs run one to three days on site, and larger acreage moves at several acres a day with the dedicated mulchers. One local quirk: the blackland clay here gets greasy after rain, so we watch the forecast and schedule around it rather than tearing up your ground. You get a start window with your quote and a heads up before we roll in.
Skid steer mulchers run $3,000 per day with transport included, for material up to 8 inches in diameter. High horsepower dedicated mulchers run $4,000 per day plus transport, for heavy tree lines and bigger acreage. Send acreage and photos and we will get you a real number, usually the same day.
Yes, and we are asked often along this corridor. Tell us the closing date and what the buyer or surveyor needs to see and you get a day count you can hold us to. We self perform the work rather than subbing the schedule out.
Mesquite, hackberry, bois d arc and elm, mostly out of rows nobody has touched since the ground was last farmed. It is not forest and it clears faster than people expect once a machine is on it.
More than most people expect. Blackland takes all the organic matter you can give it, and a mulch mat on the surface cuts the cracking and crusting this clay does in a dry August. Hauling that material off your own place is paying to make your dirt worse.
Yes, and on acreage it is usually the right call. We flag the pecans and hardwoods worth keeping, mulch everything else out from under them, and leave the canopy alone. Selective work costs more per acre than a full clear and it is what protects what the land is worth.
With mulching, nothing needs to leave your property. Everything grinds into a mulch layer that protects the soil, holds moisture, and feeds the grass as it breaks down. There are no brush piles to burn and no haul off trucks to pay for, which is a big part of why mulching costs less than traditional clearing.
Open blackland with scattered mesquite moves quickly. A heavy fence row or creek bottom slows down considerably. Dedicated mulchers average 1.5 to 2.5 acres a day in thick material and skid steers half to three quarters. You get a day count with the quote.
Yes. Photos, an aerial screenshot, a plat, or onX pins with the areas marked get most Anna quotes done the same day, without waiting on a site visit to hear a number.
