CLEARING
We spent months moving Brown County dirt: the 800 acre Chisme Solar clearing outside Brownwood is one of our flagship documented projects. The same iron and the same crew handle the county’s everyday dirt work, tanks, pads, roads, and pasture grades, with the proof a short drive from the square.
Red sandy loam, mesquite pasture, and sandstone ridges around Lake Brownwood: we learned this county across 800 documented acres, and the dirt work follows that education.
The county’s working flats run red-brown loam threaded with mesquite root, ground we cleared at scale for Chisme Solar. It digs clean and builds well once grubbed to the root, and pads, tanks, and roads on the flats start with that discipline or pay for skipping it.
Around Lake Brownwood and the ridge lines the sandstone shows up shallow, changing pads from digs into benches and making ridge material a usable base source. Lakeside lots add slope and drainage logic, and the probe rod settles the rock question before the quote does.
The full menu from our excavation and dirt work page, priced and planned for Brownwood ground.
Tank digs, pit and pad cuts, and fill balanced across ranch ground, from the same crew that moved Brown County dirt for 242 straight days at Rosebud scale and 800 acres here at home.
Pasture and homesite grading in the red loam, shaped to shed and finished for grass or gravel. Lake lots get slope and drainage treatment.
Barn, shop, and house pads on flats or benched into ridge sandstone, compacted in lifts to a testable standard.
Whole-site preparation, brush to base, one mobilization, per the standard on our site prep page.
Ranch roads and lake drives built as compacted systems with real crowns and ditches. Method on our ranch road page.
Stock tanks dug where the draws carry clay, dams keyed and compacted. The full trade lives at our pond construction page.
The iron, the days, and the transport set the base. From there the site speaks: how much cut and fill, what compaction spec, what finish. Our day rates follow the same published logic as our clearing and pond work, so the quote can be sanity-checked against our own website. Photos to 512-400-2693 start the clock on a same-day ballpark.
Brownwood pricing benefits from history: we know the county’s soils, its mesquite, and its haul logistics from 800 documented acres, so the quote guesses at nothing. Ridge rock gets probed and flagged, spoil stays on the ranch, and mobilization for multi-day scopes prices the drive honestly. Machine days on paper, proven locally.
Pictures, a rough scope, and where the property sits. The ballpark comes back the same day, in machine days, off the same published logic as the rest of our site.
We probe, read the soil, check the access, and settle where the dirt should go while standing on it. No plan gets drawn from a satellite photo.
Machines, days, transport, and any rock or haul contingency, all in writing. The number you sign is the number you pay.
The lowboy delivers within a few weeks of a signed quote and the machines stay until the dirt is finished. No vanishing to other jobs mid-build.
Clearing first if the ground needs it, then cuts, compacted fills, and grade, in the order the finished site requires.
The last step is a lap around the work, checked against the quote. Anything short gets fixed before the machines load.
Real projects with full write-ups and photos. Every card opens the project page.
Eight hundred acres cleared on spec and schedule outside Brownwood is the resume line that matters here. The same operators, the same iron, and the same documentation standard now handle Brown County’s tanks, pads, and roads, and the project page stays public because proof beats promises.
Brown County mesquite regrows from any root left behind, which is why our grubbing standard is to the root, every time. Landowners across this county already search us out for tree and mesquite grubbing, and the dirt work that follows clean grubbing stays flat and stays built.
Around Lake Brownwood the jobs turn from ranch to residential: benched pads on sandstone, drives that climb to the water, and drainage that protects both the lot and the lake. Right-sized iron and slope discipline make those lots buildable without scarring them.
Brown County rain comes in installments, and tanks here get designed for the gaps: depth against evaporation, dams keyed into draw clay, spillways for the storm that ends the drought. The herd gets water in August, which is the entire assignment.
Great company. Call them for all your land clearing needs.

Fair price. Awesome work! Machine starts in the morning and doesn't stop until quitting time. Very impressed with the final result.

Pierce land was a pleasure to deal with and they do a great job. Don't make the mistake of hiring a skid steer to make a mess and then hiring the big boys (Pierce) to come clean it up. My place looks fantastic now!

Eight hundred documented acres of it: the Chisme Solar project outside Brownwood, with the full write-up and photos public on our site. The crew that built that handles the county’s everyday dirt work now.
Both. The solar site proved the scale, but the week-to-week work here is tanks, pads, and roads for ranches and lake places, quoted in machine days with the same documentation standard.
That is the right sequence and our standard offer: grub to the root, then dig the tank in clean ground with the dam keyed into draw clay. One mobilization, one written number.
It gets planned for, not discovered. The site walk includes probing, and the quote carries a written contingency for ripping or hammering, billed by the day. The difference between outfits shows up at the first hard bucket, and ours is in writing.
We build pads in moisture-conditioned compacted lifts to plan elevations. If your engineer requires density testing we build to the spec and support the schedule, and if there is no engineer we build like there was one.
Yes, that is the operation: clearing, grubbing, excavation, grading, and pads under one plan and one invoice. The gaps between contractors are where budgets die, so we removed the gaps.
Photos and a rough scope get a same-day ballpark. A site walk gets a written number in machine days that does not move after you sign.
