Gun Barrel City is the busy end of Cedar Creek Lake, and lake lots clear differently than open acreage. The pieces are small, the neighbours are close, and there is nowhere to put a burn pile. That single fact decides most of the method here: forestry mulching takes the understory out in one pass with nothing to stack and nothing to haul down a residential street.
On the water side there is a second reason to be careful. Pulling stumps and roots on a slope above the lake is how a bank starts moving, so on that ground the root mat stays in place holding the soil and the mulch layer left behind slows runoff. Farther back from the shoreline, where a pad or a drive has to be built, we can grub and shape. Either way we size the machine to your gate and driveway before quoting rather than after, because on these lots that is the real constraint.

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.

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 place is different, so the number comes down to acreage, how thick the yaupon, privet and greenbriar has gotten, what you want left standing, and how the machines get through your gates. Transport to Henderson 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

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.
Top notch company, top notch equipment, most importantly top notch people! I have a landscape company in Austin that generates tons of brush and leaves. Bobby came out and made mince meat out of our mountains of brush!

Amazing company! I had the pleasure of dealing with a family run and operated company and it really shows. They went above and beyond. I am beyond pleased with the way my land now looks. I had tried a smaller company prior to them and it was a giant mistake.

They did an excellent job and were highly effective and the price was an incredible value. I am so thankful for them and will use them for all of my forestry needs.

Gun Barrel City is incorporated and has its own ordinances, so clearing tied to a build runs through city permitting. Work near the water line falls under the Tarrant Regional Water District.
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: sand over clay in the bottoms stays soft long after the ridges have dried, so we work the high ground first when the weather turns. You get a start window with your quote and a heads up before we roll in.
Priced by the machine day. A skid steer mulcher is $3,000 per day with transport included and is usually right on a lot, a high horsepower mulcher is $4,000 per day plus transport on acreage, and dozer or excavator work is $3,000 per day plus transport. One day minimum on every machine.
Yes, and in Henderson County it is most of what gets asked for. Yaupon mulches easily because the stems are small, so it is rarely the expensive part of a job. It does come back readily from the base, so plan a maintenance pass rather than expecting one clearing to hold for a decade.
Yes. An operator steers a mulcher, so the understory comes out and the canopy stays. On East Texas ground that is usually the whole point, because the trees are why the place is worth what it is.
Sandy acid soil and real rainfall. yaupon, privet and greenbriar fill the space under a canopy far quicker than brush does in the Hill Country, and a place that looked open five years ago can be a wall now. Budget a maintenance pass in year two or three rather than a second full clear in ten.
Possibly. The incorporated lake cities have their own ordinances, many subdivisions carry deed restrictions, and work near the water line falls under the Tarrant Regional Water District which controls Cedar Creek Lake. Rural Henderson County acreage you own is generally exempt.
One day, and it holds on every machine we own. On a small lot the way to get value is to stack the work: the lot, the drive and the fence line in the same visit while the machine is already there.
Yes, and sand is the reason it matters. A cut shoulder sloughs and a drive ruts under a loaded truck far more readily than it would on clay, so access work here wants base rock rather than shaping alone.
It is ground in place and left as a mulch layer, which on sand also helps hold the soil through a hard rain. Nothing hauled off, nothing burned, no disposal fee.
