Land clearing in Kerrville, Texas serves the two things Kerr County cares most about: its water and its safety from fire. Cedar removal on the divides gives the Guadalupe headwaters room to run, and defensible space around hill homes takes the fuel out of the fire equation. Our high horsepower dedicated mulchers and skid steer mulchers grind it all in place, oaks kept, views opened, no burning required.
Around Kerrville, Ingram, Hunt, Center Point, and Comfort we handle cedar removal and watershed clearing, defensible space and fire fuel reduction, river bottom storm and flood cleanup, drought killed tree removal, homesite and lot clearing, and fence line work on the ranches. Everything grinds in place into mulch, 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 Kerrville quotes done the same day, whether your place is on the river, up a divide, or out toward Hunt. 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 work in the neighboring Hill Country counties, pile grinding and drought killed tree removal on the same limestone 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 heavy the cedar is, slope and rock, what stays, and access. Transport to Kerr 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.
Preston and all the folks at Pierce were absolutely great to work with. The job was done on schedule and as quoted, and done well. Price was very fair as well. Highly recommend Pierce Land Clearing.

Absolutely the best service you could ask for. When Bobby said he would be at our property every day at 0700 and work from 0730 to 1530 he meant it. He was here every day 5 minutes early.

They were very timely and, more importantly, Bobby listened carefully to understand our goals exactly and executed the work perfectly and extremely efficiently! I could not be more pleased with the results!

Outside the Kerrville city limits, Kerr County has no permit requirement for clearing your own land. Inside city limits the rules are light and mostly touch development projects. The real considerations are floodplain along the Guadalupe, which is serious business in this county, oak wilt best practices around your live oaks, and burn bans that make mulching the default answer for debris. 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 heavy cedar and river ranch acreage. Send photos or onX pins and you will usually have a number the same day.
That is some of the most important work in Kerr County. Cedar stacked against a house is the fuel that carries Hill Country fires, and clearing defensible space around structures changes the math completely. We grind the cedar into a moist mulch layer instead of leaving dry piles, which is exactly what the fire people want to see.
Yes. Mature cedar drinks year round and intercepts rain before it reaches the ground. Clear the cedar off a Kerr County draw and the seeps run again, and multiplied across the headwaters that is real water back in the river. Plenty of our Hill Country clients clear for exactly this reason.
Yes. River country takes hits, and downed and damaged timber grinds where it lies, cypress breaks, hardwood blowdowns, and flood drift included. One pass and the mess becomes mulch instead of a burn pile waiting on a permit.
With mulching, nothing needs to leave your property. Everything grinds into a mulch layer that protects the thin Hill Country soil and holds moisture. Even existing brush piles grind where they sit, and there is no burning, which matters in a county that lives under burn bans.
Always. Kerr County properties are bought for the live oaks and the long views, and our work protects both: cedar out, oaks kept, views opened, and the ground finished clean. Send a photo from your porch and we can usually quote from it.
