CLEARING
Pierce Land Clearing provides land clearing, cedar removal, and forestry mulching services across Blanco, TX and the Blanco River country. Our crews clear cedar covered hills, river frontage, and working ranches, taking the cedar, keeping the oaks and cypress, and giving the springs a chance to run again. One local crew, transparent day rate pricing, and a real number for your project before the first tree comes down.

Blanco County is limestone hill country wrapped around a spring fed river, and cedar is quietly drinking both. A hillside of mature Ashe juniper intercepts rain before it reaches the ground and pulls what does soak in right back out, which is why the oldest advice in the county still holds: clear the cedar and watch the springs come back. Most of our Blanco work starts there, pasture reclaimed, fence lines opened, tanks holding water again, with every live oak flagged and kept.
The river changes the job. Blanco River frontage is the most valuable ground in the county, and everyone here knows the river can rise, so we clear it with respect: cypress and hardwoods stay, scrub and cedar go, and the floodplain stays in mind the whole time. The other change is who is buying: the Lavender Capital courthouse square now draws Austin families hunting weekend and retirement acreage off 281, and their homesites need lots cleared, views opened, and pads prepped. When the heavy dirt work follows, our Blanco bulldozer crew takes over.
Every service below is handled in-house. One crew, one point of contact, from the first walk-through to the final grade.

A lot of land clearing companies rent whatever the equipment yard has that week. We own purpose-built forestry machines and match them to your terrain. Not sure which machine your property needs? Try our cost calculator for an instant answer.
Our high horsepower dedicated mulchers run 300+ HP and chew through heavy cedar and mesquite at a pace no skid steer can match. That is how big tracts get cleared in days instead of weeks. We bring these machines when your material runs bigger than 8 inches in diameter and the property has access for an 11 foot wide machine.
For material up to 8 inches in diameter, our skid steer mulchers fill the gap. Subdivision lots, tree preservation, tight fence lines, and finish work around structures, they get in where the big machines cannot. Low ground pressure protects your topsoil, and they clear selectively around the oaks you want to keep.
The work around Blanco looks like the work we do every week across the Hill Country: selective cedar clears where every oak stays, like our 3 acre job in Lometa, hilltop homesites opened up for builds, and ranch fence lines cut back to the wire. When we quote your Blanco County property, we are pricing ground we already know how to read. See our completed projects.

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 Blanco property prices a little differently. Solid cedar hillside is a different job than river bottom flats, and access matters on ranch land. Send us your address, acreage, and a few photos and we can usually quote it without a site visit. Prefer a walk through? We do those too, free either way. Here is what actually moves the number:
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 cannot say enough good about the incredible service we received. We have 30 acres we are preparing for our future home that has never been lived on or maintained. Bobby listened to our vision.

A great investment for our property. Showed up exactly when Preston said he would, worked hard all day long without a break with a beast of a machine. He had a very good understanding of what I wanted to do, and did it. The results are fantastic.

They did a fantastic job clearing fence lines, opening up pastures and breaking trail in dense overgrowth. Taylor does a great job recommending the proper equipment for the job and being transparent.

Most private acreage clearing in unincorporated Blanco County needs no permit, which keeps ranch work simple. The exceptions: floodplain rules along the Blanco River and its creeks, county requirements tied to building, driveways, and septic, and local rules inside the city of Blanco. We sort out exactly what applies to your property during the free estimate, before any work starts.
Estimates usually happen within a few days, and photos are enough to get most Blanco quotes started. Typical jobs run one to three days on site, with bigger ranch projects going longer. Rocky Hill Country ground drains fast, so weather rarely costs more than a day. You get a start window with your quote and a heads up before we roll.
Blanco work runs from river frontage lots to full ranch reclamation, so the range is wide. Our day rates are published: $3,000 for skid steer mulchers with transport included, $4,000 plus transport for the high horsepower dedicated machines. Send photos and acreage for a fast firm total, or get an instant ballpark with our cost calculator.
It does, and Blanco County is where you can watch it happen. A mature cedar drinks dozens of gallons a day, and a hillside of them intercepts rain before it ever reaches the ground. Take the cedar off and springs reappear, tanks hold longer, and the grass comes back. It is the best return on investment ranch land offers.
Carefully, yes. Blanco River frontage is the most valuable ground in the county, and we treat it that way: cypress and hardwoods stay, cedar and scrub go, and we stay aware of the floodplain the whole time. The result is river access you can actually use, with the trees that make it beautiful untouched.
Yes. Oak wilt is active across the Hill Country. We clear selectively around your keeper oaks, avoid cutting live oaks in the high risk season when possible, keep equipment clean between properties, and seal any oak cuts immediately.
All the time. Cedar creep takes Blanco County pasture a few feet a year, and we take it back all at once. Fence corridors get cut clean for new wire, old lines get reclaimed, and the mulch left behind feeds the grass that follows.
On most unincorporated acreage, no. Floodplain rules matter along the Blanco River and its creeks, building projects bring county requirements for driveways and septic, and work inside the city of Blanco can involve local rules. We flag anything that applies during the free estimate.
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.
In typical Blanco County cedar and brush, the dedicated mulchers clear several acres a day and the skid steers cover about an acre or two of lighter growth. Steep or rocky ground slows the pace, which is why we quote the whole job up front.
Yes. The 281 corridor from Johnson City down through Blanco is regular ground for us, about an hour from our Austin yard. Estimates usually happen within a few days, and photos are enough to get your quote started.
Yes. Stock tank and pond work, ranch road construction, and heavy bulldozer clearing are all in house, so one call covers the whole property from front gate to back fence.
