CLEARING
Pierce Land Clearing works Log Cabin and the east shore of Cedar Creek Lake. Small incorporated lake town, small lots, big trees, and the job is nearly always the same: yaupon out from under the canopy without touching what people bought the lot for.

Log Cabin is a small lake town on the Henderson County side of Cedar Creek, and the jobs here are mostly measured in lots rather than acres. Half acre and one acre pieces, a lot of them sold years ago and never built on, now grown up in yaupon and privet under whatever pine and oak was left standing. The owner usually wants the same three things: see the water, get a mower through it, and keep the trees that are worth keeping.
That is a mulching job almost every time. Forestry mulching takes the understory out in a single pass with no burn pile and no hauling, which matters on a small lot where there is nowhere to put a pile. Tight access is the real constraint here, not the brush, so we size the machine to your gate and driveway before quoting rather than after.

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 the number comes down to acreage, how thick the Yaupon and greenbriar has gotten, what you want left standing, and how the machines get through your gates. Transport to Henderson 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
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.
I highly recommend Pierce Land Clearing! They were incredibly responsive and had a crew on site within a few days of our initial contact. They worked for two days clearing the better part of our 19 acre site, and they were very reasonably priced. As a home builder, I have worked with a lot of clearing companies. I will definitely work with them again.

Good communication. Professional. Worked fast but did a thorough job. The big mulcher did a great job of clearing land, including several large trees, and left a nice clean look.

I needed an easement squared-up, cleared and cleaned up. Spoke to the owner to get my quote. They scheduled and did a great job.

Log Cabin is incorporated with its own ordinances, many lots carry deed restrictions, and work near the water line falls under the Tarrant Regional Water District which controls Cedar Creek Lake. Rural Henderson County acreage you own is generally exempt.
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: sand over clay in the bottoms stays soft long after the ridges have dried, so we work the high ground first when the weather turns. You get a start window with your quote and a heads up before we roll in.
Priced by the machine day. A skid steer mulcher is $3,000 per day with transport included and is usually right on a lot, a high horsepower mulcher is $4,000 per day plus transport on acreage, and dozer or excavator work is $3,000 per day plus transport. One day minimum on every machine.
Yes, and in Henderson County it is most of what gets asked for. Yaupon mulches easily because the stems are small, so it is rarely the expensive part of a job. It does come back readily from the base, so plan a maintenance pass rather than expecting one clearing to hold for a decade.
Yes. An operator steers a mulcher, so the understory comes out and the canopy stays. On East Texas ground that is usually the whole point, because the trees are why the place is worth what it is.
Sandy acid soil and real rainfall. Yaupon and greenbriar fill the space under a canopy far quicker than brush does in the Hill Country, and a place that looked open five years ago can be a wall now. Budget a maintenance pass in year two or three rather than a second full clear in ten.
Possibly. The incorporated lake cities have their own ordinances, many subdivisions carry deed restrictions, and work near the water line falls under the Tarrant Regional Water District which controls Cedar Creek Lake. Rural Henderson County acreage you own is generally exempt.
One day, and it holds on every machine we own. On a small lot the way to get value is to stack the work: the lot, the drive and the fence line in the same visit while the machine is already there.
Yes, and sand is the reason it matters. A cut shoulder sloughs and a drive ruts under a loaded truck far more readily than it would on clay, so access work here wants base rock rather than shaping alone.
It is ground in place and left as a mulch layer, which on sand also helps hold the soil through a hard rain. Nothing hauled off, nothing burned, no disposal fee.
