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.

Every place is different, so the number comes down to acreage, how thick the mesquite, elm and hackberry has gotten, what you want left standing, and how the machines get through your gates. Transport to Navarro County is built into the quote up front, so the number you are given 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

I needed an easement squared-up, cleared and cleaned up. Spoke to the owner to get my quote. They scheduled and did a great job.

This company is simply the best. They are very professional, did the work they said they would do, it looks great, far beyond our expectations. They were on time and worked a full day. It is probably the best experience we have ever had with a contractor.

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.

Rural Navarro County clearing on your own land needs no permit, and agricultural work is exempt from most regulation in Texas. Inside Chatfield city limits, clearing tied to a build runs through the normal permitting process. If your place carries an agricultural exemption, keeping it is worth a call to the county appraisal district before you change how the ground is used.
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.
Priced by the machine day. A high horsepower mulcher is $4,000 per day plus transport, a skid steer mulcher is $3,000 per day with transport included, and dozer or excavator work is $3,000 per day plus transport. One day minimum on every machine. Most jobs around Chatfield are one or two days.
Yes, and that is the right way to do it. We take the understory and the junk growth, leave the trees whose roots are holding the bank, and mulch what comes down in place so the layer stays through the next rain. Stripping a bottom bare on this clay is how you end up with a gully.
Yes. Old push piles grind faster than standing timber because the material is already down, and it saves you a burn permit and a weather window. Nothing gets hauled off.
Usually more than people expect, because brush advances a few feet a season and it adds up quietly. We cut back to the fence or the property line, whichever you want, and take the crowns out on mesquite so it does not simply return. Walk it with the operator and mark the line you want.
On rural Navarro County land you own, generally no, and agricultural work is exempt from most regulation in Texas. Inside the Chatfield city limit, clearing tied to a build goes through normal permitting. Check before you clear inside the limit.
From the crown, yes, if it is only mulched. Mesquite resprouts from below the soil line, so on ground you want back in production properly the crown has to come out, which is dozer or excavator work rather than a mulching head. We will tell you which your ground needs.
Blackland clay is the reason we ask. Working saturated ground tears ruts that outlast the job and does not clear any faster. If your place is soaked we will tell you to wait rather than take the deposit and make a mess.
Yes, along with the rest of Navarro County. Transport is a written line on the quote reflecting the distance.
It is mulched in place and left as a layer on the soil, which holds ground through a hard rain and slows what tries to come back. No hauling, no burning, no disposal fees.
