Land clearing in Cross Roads, Texas is a race against growth in one of the fastest changing counties in Texas. Denton County acreage closes into thicket in a few unmowed seasons, and the new builds coming north out of the metro almost always start with clearing. Our dedicated mulchers cover 2 to 3 acres a day, and skid steers handle homesites and lakeside lots.
Around Cross Roads, Aubrey, Krugerville, and Oak Point we handle lot clearing for new builds, cedar and mesquite removal, pasture reclamation for horse properties, and fence line corridors. Mulching in place protects the trees you keep, feeds the grass as it breaks down, and means no burn piles or haul trucks on your place.
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 or onX pins with the areas marked get most quotes done the same day. 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 photos on this page are from our documented mulching jobs across Texas, the same growth that fills in around Cross Roads. Our documented 3 acre selective homesite clearing project at Cleburne shows the full before and after treatment every job gets, and the carousel below leads with it.

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. Transport to Denton 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

These guys are as good as it gets. Professional, hard working, honest group. We ran into some issues that were completely out of anyone's control. Taylor promised to complete the job as soon as it is possible to do so in a safe manner. Looking forward to working with these guys again.

Clearing brush on rural Denton County acreage needs no permit, and agricultural work is exempt from most regulation in Texas. Inside the Town of Cross Roads, floodplain rules near the Lake Lewisville arms are the main consideration. We flag anything that needs attention when we quote the job.
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: post oak sand works wet a good deal better than clay does, so we lose fewer days to rain here than crews do east of the Trinity. 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. Most Denton County properties are 2 to 20 acres, a day or two of work. Send photos and acreage for a real number, usually the same day.
That is the most common call from Cross Roads. We open the building site, driveway corridor, and septic field while keeping the shade trees you want, and leave a clean surface the dirt contractor can work from.
Yes. Lake lots are skid steer work: tight access, careful clearing around trees, and a finish clean enough to walk barefoot. Floodplain rules near the water get flagged in the quote.
Nothing leaves your property. Everything grinds into a mulch layer that protects the soil and feeds the grass as it breaks down. No burn piles, no haul off trucks, which matters in a county this built up.
In typical North Texas growth a dedicated mulcher covers 2 to 3 acres a day. Skid steers run about half to three quarters of an acre. We give you a day count with the quote.
Yes. Photos, an aerial screenshot, or onX pins with the areas marked will get most Cross Roads quotes done the same day.
On rural Denton County acreage, no. Agricultural clearing is exempt in Texas. Inside town limits and near the lake, floodplain rules can apply, and we flag anything that needs attention in the quote.
Regularly. We clear ahead of dirt work on acreage builds across the county, on the builder’s schedule, with the site left ready for the pad contractor.
Every job we publish carries the acreage, the machines, the days on site and what it actually cost. 57 projects documented across Texas so far.
