Land clearing in Cedar Creek, Texas is home game territory for us. The 71 corridor between Austin and Bastrop is some of the fastest growing small acreage country in the state, and the ground here, post oak and cedar shading into the Lost Pines with yaupon underneath, is exactly what our forestry mulchers were built for. We have cleared and thinned tracts in Cedar Creek itself, and our machines pass through the corridor nearly every week.
The work runs the full range: selective thinning that keeps the oaks, homesite and driveway clearing for new builds, yaupon and understory removal, pasture cleanup between Cedar Creek and Red Rock, and fence line corridors. Mulching in place means no burn piles, no haul trucks, and a protected root zone for the trees that stay.
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, and being twenty minutes from our yard keeps every quote clean. Photos or onX pins get most Cedar Creek quotes done the same day, whether you are in Cedar Creek, Wyldwood, Circle D, Red Rock, or out toward Rosanky. 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 hero photo on this page is from a recent selective thinning job in Cedar Creek itself: three acres of junk trees and brush mulched out, mature oaks left standing over clean open ground. The other photos are from the same Bastrop County ground a few minutes east. This is home turf for our machines.

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 a few things: how many acres, how thick the growth is, what stays, and access. Cedar Creek is minutes from our yard, so transport stays simple and small jobs stay affordable.
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.

Cedar Creek is unincorporated, so most clearing on your own land needs no permit at all. The things worth a look: floodplain along Cedar Creek itself and the Colorado River bottoms, utility easements along the 71 corridor, and if your clearing is part of a build, the county development process handles it. 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 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 material up to 8 inches in diameter. High horsepower dedicated mulchers run $4,000 per day plus transport, for heavy growth and bigger acreage. Cedar Creek is twenty minutes from our Austin yard, so transport stays simple. Send photos and acreage for a real number, usually the same day.
The hero photo on this page is from a recent 3 acre selective thinning right here in Cedar Creek: junk trees and brush mulched, the good oaks left standing over open ground. It is the most requested job on the 71 corridor, and it usually takes a day or two.
That mix is what makes Bastrop County interesting. Cedar Creek ground runs from cedar and post oak into the edge of the Lost Pines, with yaupon underneath all of it. Our mulchers handle all three the same way: grind the brush, keep the trees you flag, leave a clean mulch layer.
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.
Send us photos and your survey or an aerial. Most new owners around Cedar Creek want the same first pass: driveway corridor, homesite opening, and enough cleared ground to see what they actually bought. A day or two of mulching does all three.
Before, almost always. A cleared site is easier to survey, cheaper to grade, and safer from fire, and mulching first means your builder is not billing construction rates to remove brush. We coordinate with your builder on timing.
Cedar Creek is about as close to our yard as it gets, and machines run the 71 corridor constantly. Small jobs can often slot in within days, and photo quoting means your number and dates can be locked this week.
Yes. Flag them or mark them on an aerial and the operators work around them. In the Lost Pines edge country especially, the standing trees are the value, and selective mulching is how you keep them while losing the brush.
