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 cedar, live oak and mesquite has gotten, what you want left standing, and how the machines get through your gates. Transport to Bosque 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 cannot tell you how pleased I am with the work these guys did on my place. I have some very steep slopes and a lot of oaks and cedars. They used great judgement, not turning it into a field, using heavy machinery at a very fair price.

I would highly recommend Pierce Land Clearing. I mentioned to Bobby, our operator, that he was an artist. He took an overgrown piece of land and turned it into a beautiful landscape. He saw my vision and made it happen.

Rural Bosque County clearing on your own land needs no permit, and agricultural work is exempt from most regulation in Texas. Inside Cranfills Gap 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: rock, not mud, sets the pace here. Limestone sits close to grade, so we plan around what is under the topsoil more than around the forecast. 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 Cranfills Gap are one or two days.
Yes. Around Cranfills Gap that is nearly the whole job. The mulcher works tree by tree so juniper comes out while the live oaks and post oaks stay. Tell the operator what to keep before he starts.
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.
No, but it changes the method. On shallow limestone we mulch rather than blade, because blading thin soil off rock leaves you worse than you started. Where something has to go below grade we test pit first and price it honestly.
On rural Bosque County land you own, generally no, and agricultural work is exempt from most regulation in Texas. Inside the Cranfills Gap city limit, clearing tied to a build goes through normal permitting. Check before you clear inside the limit.
Cut cedar does not resprout from the stump the way mesquite does, so mulching it is a real fix rather than a delay. What comes back is seedlings out of the seed bank and off neighbouring ground, which is a mowing and maintenance question, not a reclearing one. Keep after the small stuff and the job holds for years.
Less of a problem here than out on the blackland. The rocky ground around Cranfills Gap drains fast and we can usually work it within a day or two of rain. Low ground and creek bottoms are the exception and we will say so when we walk it.
Yes, along with the rest of Bosque 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.
