Land clearing in Celina, Texas is growth work. This is the fastest growing town in the metroplex and the ground it is growing onto is Blackland Prairie: deep dark clay that grew cotton and wheat for a century and is now growing rooftops. What has to come off it first is usually not forest. It is fifty years of mesquite, hackberry, bois d arc and elm that crept out of the fence rows once nobody was running a plow past them.
Around Celina, Weston, Gunter and the Preston Road corridor we handle fence row and tree line clearing, pad and building envelope prep for builders working on a closing date, pasture reclamation on tracts that have not sold yet, driveway and access corridors, and selective work around the pecans and post oaks worth keeping. Forestry mulching grinds everything in place, so there are no burn piles on a lot with new neighbours and no haul trucks running through a subdivision.
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, a plat or onX pins get most Collin County quotes done the same day, whether it is a single lot or eighty acres ahead of a development. 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.

For a full job written up start to finish, see our 125 acre pasture reclamation in Elgin, the Celina job at development scale, and our 3 acre selective homesite clearing in Cleburne for the keep the good trees version.

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 tract is different, so price comes down to a few things: how many acres, how thick the fence rows and tree lines are, what stays, and access. Transport to Collin 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.
I am a home builder in Baton Rouge Louisiana, but I am working on a pretty large project in Austin Texas. I have a lot of experience working alongside contractors in all trades. It is always most important to identify those that take pride in their work.

Pierce cleared out land for our new house, they were great, called when they got to property, worked all day, and sent us photos of their beautiful work at the end of the day! So happy with them, we're having them come back to get land graded for new house! Can't wait to see what they do this time, I was in awe of the last job!! Highly recommended if you want it done, and done right!

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

Clearing your own land in unincorporated Collin County needs no permit, and agricultural work is exempt from most regulation in Texas. Inside Celina city limits, clearing tied to a build runs through the city process, and a town growing this fast has tree preservation and drainage requirements worth reading before a machine moves. Send us the plat and we will flag anything that matters before 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 here gets greasy after rain, so we watch the forecast 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 tree lines and bigger tracts. Send acreage and photos or a plat and we will get you a real number, usually the same day.
Yes, and we get asked constantly in this town. Tell us the closing or grading date and what the surveyor needs to see, and you get a day count you can hold us to. We self perform, so the schedule is ours to keep rather than a sub we are chasing.
Mesquite, hackberry, bois d arc and elm, mostly out of old fence rows and tree lines nobody has touched since the last plow went past. It is not forest, it is fifty years of neglect, and it clears faster than people expect.
Yes, and on a residential tract it is usually the right call. Mature pecans and post oaks are what make a Celina lot worth what it is worth. We flag the keepers, mulch everything else out from under them, and leave the canopy alone.
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.
It is a big reason mulching wins here. No burning, no chipper running all week, no line of trucks hauling brush past a new subdivision. One machine, in and out, and a mulch mat left behind rather than a scraped lot blowing dust.
Open blackland with scattered mesquite moves quickly. A heavy tree line or tangled creek draw slows down considerably. Dedicated mulchers average 1.5 to 2.5 acres a day in thick material and skid steers half to three quarters. You get a day count with the quote.
Yes. Photos, an aerial screenshot, a plat, or onX pins with the areas marked get most Celina quotes done the same day, without you waiting on a site visit to get a number you can budget against.
