CLEARING
Pierce Land Clearing works the sand country between East and Middle Yegua creeks, clearing yaupon, redcedar and post oak scrub for Lexington cattle, hay and homesite owners. We grind the brush where it stands, leave the mulch to hold your sand down, and give you a straight day rate before a machine ever rolls.

Senderos, plot clearing, feeder and blind access, and trail systems that make your property huntable again.
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 are from our own 3 acre homesite clear right here in Lexington, cedar and understory taken down for a build site with the good post oaks left standing. The project carousel leads with that job and the full photo story sits behind the link. We run this corridor regularly, from the Yegua bottoms north toward the Milam County line.

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.
Price comes down to acreage, how solid the yaupon is, what you want left standing and access. US 77 runs straight into town, so transport is a short hop for us and 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.
These guys take a lot of pride in what they do. This doesn't even look like the same property. The operator walked the property with me before he started and the outcome was exactly what I'd hoped for. Will definitely recommend to anyone that asks. Great job guys, much appreciated.

I'm so glad I found Taylor and Bobby to help me clear our land. We were tired paying to rent wood chippers, tractors, shredders, chain saws, etc, and still not being done with the project. Then came Taylor and Bobby. Not only did they do a better job than we could, they did it fast, efficiently, and saved us TIME and MONEY. They did a BEAUTIFUL job and now our land gives us bragging rights. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Super nice guy and priced right. Fantastic communication and no surprises except for how great it looked when completed.

Lee County has no zoning and no tree or land clearing permit for private rural property, so most of what we do around Lexington needs nothing at all. What the county does regulate is platting, floodplain, septic and driveway access. That shows up in three places here: work in the Yegua floodplain, where no development is allowed in the floodway; septic, because most Lee County soils rate Very Limited for OSSF and a clearing job often comes right before a soil evaluation; and a new driveway off US 77, which is a TxDOT call rather than the county. Burn bans run up to 90 days at a time and get renewed, so check with the county before you plan a pile. Mulching sidesteps that entirely. We flag anything that needs attention when we quote.
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: sandy loam over clay drains on top and holds underneath, so the high ground works sooner after rain than the bottoms do. 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 solid yaupon and heavier redcedar. Most Lexington homesite jobs land in the one to three day range. Send photos and you get a firm total for the whole job, free.
No, and it is worth knowing when you compare quotes. West of I-35 the fight is Ashe juniper. Out here in Lee County it is eastern redcedar, mixed into post oak, blackjack and yaupon. It grows differently and it comes back differently. Anyone selling you a Hill Country cedar program for a Lexington tract has not looked at your ground.
Some of it will, and you should be told that before you sign anything. Yaupon resprouts from live root material after any mechanical clearing. On a light stand that is a non issue. On a heavy stand it means a follow up, and we say so when we quote rather than after.
Around Lexington you are on one of two kinds of ground and they behave opposite. Deep sand drains straight down, so we can often get back on a tract soon after rain, but it needs the mulch mat left down or it blows. Claypan ground has a thin sandy surface over dense clay that sheds water, and that is the ground that ruts.
No. Lee County has no zoning and no tree or land clearing permit for private rural property. What the county does regulate is platting, floodplain, septic and driveway access, so the questions that come up here are the Yegua floodplain, keeping your septic area clear for a soil evaluation, and whether a new drive off US 77 needs TxDOT sign off.
Yes, and it is most of what we do here. Places around Lexington that ran cattle twenty years ago have gone up in yaupon and redcedar. Mulching brings them back without stripping the sandy topsoil, and the grass comes back through the mulch.
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. No burn piles, no haul off, and no waiting on a burn ban to lift.
Yes. Photos, an aerial screenshot or onX pins with the areas marked will get most Lexington quotes done the same day. Flag the oaks you want to keep and we will price around them.
Our documented work in Lexington
Every job we publish carries the acreage, the machines, the days on site and what it actually cost. 53 projects documented across Texas so far.
We build ponds and stock tanks here too. On the sandy ground across Lee County the first question is whether there is clay within digging depth, which is where our Lexington pond page starts. The nearest pond we have documented is our half acre pond rehab at Paige, deepened and re-clayed in three days, with photos, the day count and what it cost.
