Land clearing in Granbury, Texas is lake country work and ranch country work in the same county, and the machines have to fit both. Our skid steer mulchers thread lake lots and HOA neighborhoods without tearing up the ground, and the high horsepower dedicated mulchers take the cedar breaks and mesquite flats at ranch pace. The cedar work photographed on this page was done one county over in Cleburne, on the same limestone.
Around Granbury, Tolar, Lipan, and Pecan Plantation we handle lake view clearing, cedar removal with oak preservation, homesite and lot clearing, pasture reclamation, fence line clearing, and brush work on acreage along the Brazos. Everything grinds in place into mulch, so there are no burn piles, and haul off is generally not needed with mulching.
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 get most Granbury quotes done the same day, whether you are on the lake, in town, or out toward Lipan. 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 come from our documented cedar clearing in Cleburne, just across the Hood County line, and the project carousel below leads with the full write up: a selective homesite clear where the shade trees stayed and everything else left in a day. Same ground, same machines, same finish we bring to Granbury.

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 is different, so price comes down to a few things: lot size or acreage, how thick the cedar is, what stays, and access. Transport to Hood County is quoted 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
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.
Pierce Land Clearing just finished a 2 day job forestry mulching my 10 acre lot. Most of the job consisted of making dead pines and oaks, standing and fallen, disappear.

Excellent work. Our property was complex as we wanted to save some trees, and the operator was amazing at maneuvering around them to clear the 7 acres we cleared.

Brandon from Pierce Land Clearing came out and inspected my lot. He was very professional and easy-going. No pressure. The work was performed quickly and the end result was neat considering it was land clearing.

Outside the Granbury city limits, Hood County has no permit requirement for clearing your own land. Inside city limits and in planned communities like Pecan Plantation and DeCordova, HOA and development rules can touch tree removal, and lakefront work near the water line involves the Brazos River Authority. We flag exactly what applies 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 east of I-35 gets greasy after rain, so we watch the weather 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 in diameter. High horsepower dedicated mulchers run $4,000 per day plus transport, for heavy cedar and bigger acreage. Lake lots usually run a day or two of skid steer work, and ranch acreage scales up from there. Send photos and you will usually have a real number the same day.
Lake Granbury properties earn their view work. We take the cedar and scrub between your place and the water, keep the oaks that frame it, and leave a clean mulch layer instead of a scar. Send a photo from your porch and we can usually quote it from that.
That is the standard Hood County job, and we have done exactly this work one county over in Cleburne, photos on this page: cedar out from under the canopy, every oak kept. You flag what stays, we grind what goes.
With mulching, nothing needs to leave your property. Everything grinds into a mulch layer that protects the soil, holds moisture, and feeds the grass as it breaks down. There are no burn piles and no haul off trucks to pay for, which keeps both the price and the neighborhood happy.
Yes. Granbury and the 377 corridor are growing fast, and we clear homesite lots, subdivision tracts, and pad sites on builder timelines with commercial insurance in place.
Hood County ranches fight the same cedar and mesquite as the rest of north Texas. Mulching grinds it in place, the mulch holds the thin soil, and the grass comes back through it the next season. Fence lines and tank edges clean up in the same pass.
Granbury sits in our regular DFW southwest rotation with Cleburne, Weatherford, and Stephenville. Most jobs get on the calendar within a couple of weeks.
Yes. Photos, an aerial screenshot, or onX pins with the areas marked will get most Granbury quotes done the same day. Flag the oaks and views you care about and we will price around them.
