Land clearing in Justin, Texas sits where Denton County horse country runs into the growth coming north out of Fort Worth. The ground is Western Cross Timbers sandy loam over sandstone, post oak on the rises, eastern redcedar filling anywhere quiet for a decade. Some calls are five acre horse places wanting turnout back. Some are tracts that need to be survey clean before a closing.
Around Justin, Northlake, Ponder and Haslet we handle turnout and trap clearing, redcedar and brush removal, homesite and pad prep, fence line corridors, driveway access, and pasture reclamation. Everything grinds in place into mulch, which on sandy Cross Timbers ground does real work: bare sand moves the first time it storms and the mulch mat holds it while grass comes back.
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, a plat or onX pins get most Denton County 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.

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 acreage, how thick the cedar and brush are, what stays, and access. Transport to Denton 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
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.
We live on 12 acres off 1431. When we purchased our property we absolutely fell in love with the amazing views of the Hill Country but were strapped with inheriting tons of cedars, a few pitiful oaks, and lots of debris.

Rural Denton County clearing on your own land needs no permit, and agricultural work is exempt from most regulation in Texas. Inside Justin city limits, clearing tied to a build runs through the normal process, and newer subdivisions along the corridor often carry their own tree and drainage requirements written into the plat.
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: post oak sand works wet a good deal better than clay does, so we lose fewer days to rain here than crews do east of the Trinity. 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. Most Justin work is one to ten acres, which usually means a skid steer and a day or two.
Constantly. We open the building envelope, cut the drive line, keep the trees that make the lot worth the money, and leave it ready to survey and grade.
Yes, and it is the standard call on the horse places out here. Redcedar mulched at the ground with the mat left in place lets grass come back the same season.
No. What fills in around Justin is eastern redcedar, not the eastern redcedar you get west of I-35. Anybody quoting you a Hill Country cedar job has not looked at your ground.
It can if you scrape it, which is why we mulch rather than doze and rake on Cross Timbers sand. The material goes down as a mat that holds the soil through the first hard rain. We do not leave bare sand on a slope.
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 brush piles to burn and no haul off trucks to pay for.
In thick Cross Timbers cedar a dedicated mulcher covers 1.5 to 2.5 acres a day, and open pasture runs faster. Skid steers average half to three quarters of an acre.
Yes. Photos, an aerial screenshot, a plat, or onX pins with the areas marked get most Justin quotes done the same day.
