CLEARING
Pierce Land Clearing provides land clearing, forestry mulching, and commercial site clearing services across Brownsville, TX and the Rio Grande Valley. We cleared a documented 38 acre commercial site right here in Brownsville in six days, and that job is on this page for you to see. From a single overgrown lot to a full development tract, you deal with one crew, get honest day rates, and know your price before a machine ever unloads.

Brownsville is building, and Valley brush is standing in the way of most of it. Mesquite, huisache, retama, and ebony grow year round here, which means a tract that sat for five years is a tract that needs real machinery, not a rented skid steer with a dull attachment. Our 38 acre commercial job in Brownsville is the reference: six days from solid thicket to build ready ground, documented in photos, with the brush mulched on site instead of pushed into piles that sit through the dry season. We clear commercial sites on development timelines, residential acreage with a selective touch around the trees the Valley actually values, and farm ground the brush took back. Day rates are transparent and the estimate is free.

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.
We documented the whole thing: our 38 acre commercial land clearing project right here in Brownsville shows the site before, the machines in the brush, and 38 acres of build ready ground six days later. Every photo on this page is from that Brownsville job. When we say we work the Valley, this is what we mean.

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 prices a little differently. Solid Valley thicket runs at one pace, scattered mesquite on farm ground at another. Send us your address, lot size, and a few photos and we can usually put a real number on it the same day.
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.
I have been working with Pierce on projects for roughly a year and he has been top notch in all aspects. Taylor is a great communicator and very thorough in his work. Any issue we have had has always been resolved quickly and with all parties in mind.

These days it is unusual to find services that are adequate, let alone exceed expectations. We had a very challenging project which required working around hundreds of boats on trailers, preserving legacy trees and navigating steep drop offs.

Just had a fence line for a 50 acre tract cleared. Some ravines, trees, trash trees. It is amazing! Will with his magic machine cleared that path and much more. Stumps, dead trees, things that the pioneers could have only dreamed of.

Rural Cameron County land outside the city limits has no permit office between you and clearing your own brush. Inside Brownsville city limits, commercial projects go through normal site plan review, and it pays to know where resacas and drainage easements sit before machines arrive. We ran a 38 acre commercial job here, so the process is familiar ground.
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.
Our pricing is a transparent day rate: $3,000 per day for the skid steer mulcher with transport included, or $4,000 per day plus transport for the high horsepower dedicated mulcher. Solid Valley thicket like our 38 acre job runs at a committed pace, scattered mesquite moves much faster. Send photos and acreage and we will tell you which machine and how many days before anything is scheduled.
On unincorporated Cameron County land there is no permit office between you and clearing your own brush. Inside city limits, check with the city before grading or working close to creeks and easements, and check your deed restrictions if you are in a subdivision. We can talk through it on the phone before you commit to anything.
Material size decides it. Anything over 8 inches in diameter always gets the high horsepower dedicated mulcher. Under 8 inches on smaller properties, the skid steer mulcher fills the gap. Valley thicket is dedicated machine work almost every time, city lots can fit the skid steer.
It gets ground into mulch right where it falls. The mulch layer protects your topsoil, holds moisture, and breaks down into the ground. No burn piles, no haul-off trucks, and nothing left for you to deal with.
Yes, and most customers should. We flag or walk the keep trees with you first, then mulch everything else around them. Selective work takes a little longer than a full clear cut, which is why the two price differently, but you keep the shade and the property value.
Estimates usually happen within a few days of your call, and most residential jobs run one to three days on site. We run established loops through this part of Texas, so transport to Cameron County is routine for us, not a special trip.
Neither. We clear half acre homesites and we clear tracts in the hundreds of acres, with a documented 127 acre public utility job on our books. The machines and crew scale to the work.
We do, and the 38 acre commercial job documented on this page is the proof. The Valley makes sense for us on real projects: commercial sites, development tracts, and multi acre clearing where the machine earns its transport. If that sounds like your project, send the details and we will give you a straight answer on schedule and cost.
