Land clearing in Lockhart, Texas comes with receipts: our own clear cut photographed in town and a written up 9 acre pasture reclamation at Dale, fifteen minutes up the road. As 130 pulls the metro closer every year, Caldwell County land is worth too much to leave under mesquite.
Around Lockhart, Dale, Martindale, and Maxwell we handle mesquite removal and pasture reclamation, homesite and driveway clearing for the new places, fence line clearing, brush work along Plum Creek, and small acreage clearing on the county roads. Everything grinds in place into mulch, so there are no burn piles, 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 Lockhart quotes done the same day, whether you are in town, out toward Dale, or down 183 toward Luling. 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 hero photo on this page is from our own clear cut in Lockhart, and the mesquite photos are from our written up 9 acre pasture reclamation at Dale, first in the carousel below: brush out and grass coming back, two days on site. When we quote Caldwell County work, we are pricing ground we already know.

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 place is different, so price comes down to a few things: acreage, how heavy the mesquite is, what stays, and access. Caldwell County is home range, 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.
Highly recommend Pierce Land Clearing! Fair price. Showed up on time and work was as promised. 4.5 acres of solid cedar, oak, mesquite etc. taken care of in less than 3 days. I will not shop around on the next project.

What a great experience. This company was prompt, and right on budget. They made a pond and tank for me on my ranch. The owner and his team were very professional.

My experience was the best hands down. I liked the direct upfront pricing and how it was stated clearly what would be done. The operator Jonathan went above and beyond to take care of our property and listened to what was important to us.

Outside the Lockhart city limits, Caldwell County has no permit requirement for clearing brush on your own land. Inside city limits the rules are light and mostly touch development projects. Floodplain considerations apply along Plum Creek and the San Marcos River. 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: the blackland clay here gets greasy after rain, so we watch the forecast and schedule around it rather than tearing up your ground. 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 mesquite and bigger acreage. Send photos or onX pins and you will usually have a number the same day.
Yes, and the hero photo on this page is the proof: a clear cut we ran right in Lockhart, plus our documented 9 acre pasture reclamation at Dale, fifteen minutes up the road, linked first in the carousel below. Caldwell County is home range.
Mesquite is the Caldwell County staple and the photos on this page show our mesquite work at Dale in this same county. Mulching knocks it flat and puts the pasture back to work immediately, and because mesquite resprouts, we are straight with you: plan on follow up spraying to hold the gain, or grubbing for smaller counts.
That is the county’s main job. Brush pulls carrying capacity out of the blackland and sandy loam pastures year over year, and mulching puts it back with the soil protected under the mulch layer instead of scraped bare.
With mulching, nothing needs to leave your property. Everything grinds into a mulch layer that protects the soil and feeds the grass as it breaks down. There are no burn piles and no haul off trucks, which keeps the price down.
All the time. Lockhart is the fastest growing corner of the Austin metro now that 130 makes the commute easy, and we clear homesites, driveways, and small acreage for the new places going in from town out to the county roads.
Lockhart is fifteen minutes from our documented Dale project and sits on our regular loop through Caldwell County. Most jobs get on the calendar within a couple of weeks.
Yes. Photos, an aerial screenshot, or onX pins with the areas marked will get most Lockhart quotes done the same day. Flag the oaks you want to keep and we will price around them.
Every job we publish carries the acreage, the machines, the days on site and what it actually cost. 57 projects documented across Texas so far.
We build ponds and stock tanks here too. On the sandy ground across Caldwell County the first question is whether there is clay within digging depth, which is where our Lockhart pond page starts. The nearest pond we have documented is our half acre pond rebuild and bentonite seal in Lockhart, with photos, the day count and what it cost.
