Land clearing in Gholson, Texas is ranch and river country work north of Waco, and the machines already live in this valley. Mesquite closes the flats and cedar chokes the draws, and our dedicated mulchers grind both at 2 to 3 acres a day, with skid steers for homesites and tight corners.
Around Gholson, China Spring, West, and Ross we handle cedar and mesquite removal, pasture reclamation, hunting land improvement along the Brazos, and fence line corridors. Mulching in place feeds the grass and means no burn piles or haul trucks on your place. Our documented Morgan and Clifton projects are just up the valley.
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.
We documented the whole thing minutes away: our 6 acre forestry mulching project at Morgan shows brush and storm damage ground to clean mulch up the valley, and our 177 acre Dileo Solar project at Clifton shows the same machines at utility scale. The photos on this page are from that same Brazos valley work, and the carousel below leads with the Morgan write up.

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 McLennan 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

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!

I highly recommend Pierce Land Clearing. Jonathan was my operator and was very efficient and didn't waste any time clearing my project. He listened to what I wanted done and got to work. I will use this company again.

Clearing brush on rural McLennan County land needs no permit, and agricultural work is exempt from most regulation in Texas. Along the Brazos and its creek bottoms, floodplain rules apply. 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: 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. High horsepower dedicated mulchers run $4,000 per day plus transport. Most jobs north of Waco are 2 to 20 acres, a day or two of work. Send photos and acreage for a real number, usually the same day.
Yes, and it is documented up the valley: 6 acres mulched clean at Morgan and 177 acres cleared to a fine solar spec at Clifton, both with full photo write ups. This is home ground for our machines.
Yes. River country clearing, cedar out of the breaks, brush off the flats, hunting lanes opened, is steady work for us, with floodplain rules 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.
Yes. Mulching takes brushed up pasture back to grass in days, and the mulch layer feeds the soil instead of leaving scraped dirt.
In typical mesquite and cedar 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 Gholson quotes done the same day.
On rural McLennan County acreage, no. Agricultural clearing is exempt in Texas. Floodplain rules along the Brazos get flagged in the quote when they apply.
