LAND
CLEARING
Cedar off the limestone, views opened to the lakes, and defensible space cut around the homes. Pierce Land Clearing works the Hill Country every week, from the Highland Lakes to the Guadalupe headwaters.

Mature cedar takes the limestone hills, drinks the rain before it reaches the ground, shades out the grass, and closes off the views that make this country worth owning. Between the cedar sit the live oaks worth protecting, the springs waiting to run again, and some of the most valuable homesites in Texas.
That is why selective forestry mulching fits this country better than any dozer. The cedar comes out, the oaks and the views stay, the slope keeps its root structure, and the mulch layer holds the thin soil instead of letting it wash. We open lake views, cut fire fuel back from homes, reclaim ranches to grass, mill surface rock into ranch road base, and clear homesites with the light touch estate ground deserves.
We already work these hills. Our documented hilltop homesite clearing project at Horseshoe Bay and our cedar and fence line project at Lometa show the before and after treatment, and a 36 acre Spicewood clearing sits in our portfolio alongside them.

Transparent day rates across the region: $3,000 per day for the skid steer mulcher with transport included, or $4,000 per day plus transport for the high horsepower dedicated mulcher. Material over 8 inches always gets the dedicated machine. Solid cedar hillsides run at the slower end of a machine’s pace, scattered brush at the faster end, and selective work around keep trees prices differently than a full clear. Send photos and acreage from any town above and we can usually put a real number on your project the same day.
Recent documented work in Hill Country: 34 acres of cedar cleared at Dripping Springs and 2 acres of tree piles mulched at Fredericksburg. Every job gets photographed and written up with the day count and what it cost.
Hill Country rock changes the pace of a job more than anything else on this list. The way we price around that, and the four ways land actually gets cleared, are set out on our land clearing in Texas page. Rates are identical wherever our Texas land clearing crews are working.
