CLEARING
Pierce Land Clearing provides land clearing, forestry mulching, and homesite clearing services across China Spring, TX and northwest McLennan County. From Bosque River bottomland to the cedar ridges above Lake Waco, we clear the ground Waco’s fastest growing school district is building on. One local crew, transparent day rate pricing, and a real number for your project before the first tree comes down.

China Spring acreage sells fast and clears slow, unless the right machine shows up. The ground northwest of Waco stacks three kinds of clearing into one zip code: cedar on the limestone ridges, mesquite on the old pasture, and heavy brush in the Bosque bottoms. Forestry mulching handles all three without burn piles or haul off, grinding everything into a mulch layer that holds the slope, feeds the soil, and looks finished the day the machine leaves. We open building pads that are truly build ready, clear selectively around the oaks that make a homesite worth the money, and reclaim pasture at ranch pace when the acreage is bigger. Day rates are transparent, the estimate is free, and the Bosque valley is ground we already work.

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 6 acre forestry mulching project at Morgan shows brush and storm damage ground to clean mulch thirty minutes up the valley from China Spring, and the photos on this page are from that same Bosque country work. Not many contractors can show you their last job one valley over.

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. A cedar ridge above the lake clears differently than river bottom brush. 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

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.

They did an amazing transformation on our property. We had a jungle and we were left with a beautiful future homesite. They showed up with newer equipment which lessens the chance of breakdowns. Very personable and professional.

This company gets customer service. They promptly contacted me, scheduled service within the week and promptly showed up each day of the project. The operator listened and provided fabulous service. Our 2 acre grading was done to our specs.

China Spring is unincorporated McLennan County, so there is no city permit office between you and clearing your own land. Near the Bosque River and Lake Waco, stay mindful of floodplain rules before dirt work, and subdivisions out here often carry deed restrictions worth reading. We will tell you straight what applies to your property.
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.
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. Ridge cedar clears at one pace and bottomland brush at another, and most China Spring properties have some of both. Send photos and acreage and we will tell you which machine and how many days before anything is scheduled.
On unincorporated McLennan 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. Most homesite pads here fit the skid steer, whole tracts get the dedicated machine.
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 McLennan 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.
That is most of our China Spring work. We clear the pad and drive corridor, mulch the brush, leave the shade trees you pick, and hand the site to your builder clean. If the pad needs rock, we can mill the shallow limestone into base right there instead of you buying and hauling it.
Every job we publish carries the acreage, the machines, the days on site and what it actually cost. 45 projects documented across Texas so far.
We build ponds and stock tanks here too. McLennan County clay will usually seal a pond without a liner, which takes the largest variable out of the price: see pond construction in China Spring.
The nearest one to China Spring is two acres of trail and right of way widening near Moody, here in McLennan County.
