Land clearing in Hamilton, Texas is cedar work with a local reference attached: our 15 acre full cedar clearing project near Hico is documented on this site, solid cedar to open ground, photographed the whole way. That is the standard we bring to every Hamilton County pasture, ridge, and fence line.
Around Hamilton, Hico, Pottsville, and Carlton we handle cedar removal and pasture reclamation, fence line and right of way clearing, hunting lane and sendero cutting, storm damage cleanup, and brush work around tanks and pens. Everything grinds in place into mulch, so there are no burn piles waiting on a burn ban, 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 Hamilton quotes done the same day, whether your place is on the Leon, up toward Hico, or out west toward Pottsville. 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 project carousel below leads with our written up 15 acre full cedar clearing in Hico, right here in Hamilton County: solid cedar taken to open ground, photographed start to finish. When we quote a Hamilton job we are pricing work we have already done on this exact kind of ground.

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 price comes down to a few things: acreage, how old the cedar is, what stays, and access. We quote the whole job 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.

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.
Outstanding operation! The big tree masticator ate cedar and mesquite standing as well as brush piles. Old trails cleared and widened. New trails created meandering through the property. Hardwoods left intact.

Never easy to write a big check, but well worth it. After two days they completely transformed a ten acre holly-choked mess into an open and inviting forest. Taylor bid the job and recommended the larger dozer-sized forestry mulcher.

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.

This is unincorporated ranch country outside the Hamilton city limits, and there is no permit office between you and clearing your own cedar. The considerations that actually come up are floodplain along the Leon River, Cowhouse Creek, and their branches, plus lease terms if a hunting outfit runs your ground. 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: 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.
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 the old cedar and bigger ranch acreage. Send photos or onX pins and you will usually have a number the same day.
Yes, and it is written up on this site: our 15 acre full cedar clearing project in Hico, in the north end of the county, is linked right below in the project carousel. Solid cedar taken down to open ground, with the whole photo story behind the link.
Yes. Mature cedar drinks year round and intercepts rain before it reaches the soil. Take the cedar off a draw and the seeps come back, the tanks hold longer, and the grass takes the ridges again. On the Cut Plain this is the highest return work a ranch can buy.
That is the core of our Hamilton County work. Cedar and brush pull carrying capacity out of a pasture year over year, and mulching puts it back: brush ground in place, soil protected by the mulch layer, and grass coming back through it the next season.
With mulching, nothing needs to leave your property. Everything grinds into a mulch layer that protects the soil and feeds the grass as it breaks down. There are no brush piles waiting on a burn ban to lift, and haul off is generally not needed.
Constantly. Cedar ground off both sides of the wire so you can see and fix your fence, plus hunting lanes and senderos that green up into feed strips. Clean lines double as firebreaks in dry years.
Hamilton sits on our 281 corridor loop with Evant, Goldthwaite, and Hico, and we cross the county regularly. 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 Hamilton quotes done the same day. Mention gates and crossings and we will plan the machines accordingly.
Every job we publish carries the acreage, the machines, the days on site and what it actually cost. 49 projects documented across Texas so far.
We build ponds and stock tanks around Hamilton as well, with the price list published rather than hidden behind a form. Full detail on our Hamilton pond construction page.
