Land clearing in Brazos Bend, Texas is river country work: cedar on the limestone ridges, tangled understory in the bottoms, and pastures that brush up the moment a wet year gets ahead of the shredder. Our high horsepower dedicated mulchers grind heavy cedar all day at 2 to 3 acres per day, and skid steer mulchers work the river lots and tight corners.
Around Brazos Bend, Granbury, Tolar, and Lipan we handle cedar removal, understory and river bottom clearing, pasture reclamation, fence line corridors, and homesite prep. Mulching in place protects the slopes above the river, feeds the grass, and leaves no burn piles waiting on a burn window.
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 or onX pins get most Hood County quotes done the same day. Call 512-400-2693 and a project manager will answer, seven days a week.

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 photos on this page are from our documented clearing work across north and central Texas oak country, including cedar removal minutes away near Granbury: cedar chked ground going in, open oak woodland coming out. It is the same growth we clear along the Brazos every season.

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 property is different, so price comes down to acres, cedar density, what stays, and access down the river roads. Transport to Hood 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 live on 12 acres off 1431. When we purchased our property we absolutely fell in love with the amazing views of the Hill Country but were strapped with inheriting tons of cedars, a few pitiful oaks, and lots of debris.

I could not be more pleased after hiring them to clear cedars off my land. They did exactly what I needed, and my place now looks amazing. I learned having the right equipment is key, and Pierce Land Clearing has it.

They did an amazing transformation on our property. We had a jungle and we were left with a beautiful future homesite. They showed up with newer equipment which lessens the chance of breakdowns. Very personable and professional.

Clearing brush on your own rural land in Hood County needs no permit, and agricultural work is exempt from most regulation in Texas. Near the Brazos itself, floodplain rules apply in the mapped corridor, and the Brazos River Authority has a say close to the water line. We flag anything that needs attention when we quote the job.
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 east of I-35 gets greasy after rain, so we watch the weather 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 growth up to 8 inches. High horsepower dedicated mulchers run $4,000 per day plus transport for heavy cedar and bigger acreage. Hood County jobs often pair a river place cleanup with pasture work, and photos with your acreage get a real number the same day.
That is the standard Hood County job. The cedar gets mulched out from under and around the oaks, the canopy trees stay on undisturbed roots, and the ridge goes from solid green wall back to oak country with a view of the river.
Yes, with the bottoms respected: we work the dry windows, keep the machines off saturated ground, and open the understory without stripping the banks. River bottom brush turns into a walkable, huntable corridor instead of a thicket.
Nothing leaves and nothing burns. Everything grinds into a mulch layer that holds the soil on the slopes, keeps moisture through the summer, and feeds the grass as it breaks down. In burn-ban country that matters.
A lot of Hood County pasture has brushed up over the last twenty years. Mulching takes it back to grass in days, and the ground stays protected instead of scraped bare.
Flag them and they stay. Selective clearing is most of what we do out here, because the oaks and pecans are what make a Brazos place worth owning.
Dedicated mulchers cover 2 to 3 acres a day in typical cedar and brush, skid steers about half to three quarters of an acre. Your quote comes with the day count so the budget is clear.
Yes. Photos, an aerial screenshot, or onX pins with the areas marked get most Hood County quotes done the same day, no waiting on a site visit.
