CLEARING
Pierce Land Clearing works Lipan and the north Hood County ranch country between Granbury and the Palo Pinto line. Cedar has taken a lot of this ground off the oaks, and getting it back without losing the good trees is most of the job. Honest day rates and a real machine.

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 the number comes down to acreage, how thick the cedar, post oak and mesquite has gotten, what you want left standing, and how the machines get through your gates. Transport to Hood County is built into the quote up front, so the number you are given 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

Amazing company! I had the pleasure of dealing with a family run and operated company and it really shows. They went above and beyond. I am beyond pleased with the way my land now looks. I had tried a smaller company prior to them and it was a giant mistake.

The team with Pierce Land Clearing were great to work with. Taylor was prompt to respond, took the time to help me understand the process and options and got me scheduled for a date for service. Bobby our operator was incredibly nice.

My wife and I bought 3 acres that we needed cedars cleared from. A good friend of mine recommended Pierce so I decided to give them a try. Taylor was communicative and responded quickly from the first call.

Rural Hood County clearing on your own land needs no permit, and agricultural work is exempt from most regulation in Texas. Inside Lipan city limits, clearing tied to a build runs through the normal permitting process. If your place carries an agricultural exemption, keeping it is worth a call to the county appraisal district before you change how the ground is used.
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.
Priced by the machine day. A high horsepower mulcher is $4,000 per day plus transport, a skid steer mulcher is $3,000 per day with transport included, and dozer or excavator work is $3,000 per day plus transport. One day minimum on every machine. Most jobs around Lipan are one or two days.
Yes, and around Lipan that is nearly the whole job. The mulching head works tree by tree, so juniper comes out from under and around the live oaks and post oaks while the good trees stay. Mark what you want kept and the operator works to it.
Yes. Old push piles grind faster than standing timber because the material is already down, and it saves you a burn permit and a weather window. Nothing gets hauled off.
Yes, and it is the most common job in this county. Cedar takes grazing ground slowly and then all at once. The mulch layer left behind holds thin soil through a hard rain, which matters more on this ground than out on the deep dirt east of here.
On rural Hood County land you own, generally no, and agricultural work is exempt from most regulation in Texas. Inside the Lipan city limit, clearing tied to a build goes through normal permitting. Check before you clear inside the limit.
Cut cedar does not resprout from the stump the way mesquite does, so mulching it is a real fix rather than a delay. What returns is seedlings out of the seed bank and off neighbouring ground, which is a mowing question rather than a reclearing one. Keep after the small stuff and the job holds for years.
Less of a problem here than out on the blackland. Sandy ground around Lipan drains fast and we can usually work within a day or two of rain. Creek bottoms and low ground are the exception and we will say so when we walk it.
Yes, along with the rest of Hood County. Transport is a written line on the quote reflecting the distance.
It is mulched in place and left as a layer on the soil, which holds ground through a hard rain and slows what tries to come back. No hauling, no burning, no disposal fees.
Every job we publish carries the acreage, the machines, the days on site and what it actually cost. 41 projects documented across Texas so far.
