Land clearing in Marble Falls, Texas is Highland Lakes work: expensive lots, real slopes, close neighbors, and views worth protecting. Mulching fits it exactly, cedar ground where it stands, oaks and views kept, clean finished ground, and no burning anywhere near the lake neighborhoods. Our documented Horseshoe Bay homesite project sits ten minutes across the bridge as proof.
Around Marble Falls, Granite Shoals, Cottonwood Shores, and Meadowlakes we handle lake lot clearing, view clearing, cedar removal and defensible space around hill homes, subdivision and pad site clearing, and ranch acreage work toward Burnet and Llano. 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 a lot survey get most Marble Falls quotes done the same day, whether you are on the water, up on the ridge, or out 1431 toward Kingsland. 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 project carousel below leads with our written up hilltop homesite clear at Horseshoe Bay, ten minutes across the bridge: one acre of solid cedar opened for a build with a view. The photos on this page come from the same granite and cedar country on both sides of the lake.

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 property is different, so price comes down to a few things: lot size or acreage, how thick the cedar is, slope and rock, what stays, and access. The Highland Lakes are 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.

These guys are the rockstars of the land clearing business. Arrived early, carefully listened to my wishes, and then went to town. So fast, efficient, and professional.

I have used Pierce Land Clearing to clear out property that I own on two different occasions. Each time two different operators but same result: amazing work!!! It is impressive what their forestry mulchers can accomplish so quickly.

Outside the Marble Falls city limits, Burnet County has no permit requirement for clearing your own land. Inside city limits and in the lake communities, development rules and HOA standards can touch tree removal on build projects, and work near the water line involves the LCRA. We flag exactly what applies when we quote your lot.
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 east of I-35 gets greasy after rain, so we watch the weather 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 cedar and bigger acreage. Most Marble Falls lots run a day or two of skid steer work. Send photos and you will usually have a real number the same day.
All around it. Our documented hilltop homesite clear at Horseshoe Bay is ten minutes across the bridge, linked first in the carousel below, and we work the Highland Lakes from Spicewood to Burnet on a constant loop. The photos on this page are from that same granite and cedar country.
That is the signature Highland Lakes job. We take the cedar between your place and the water or the long view, keep the oaks that frame it, and leave clean mulched ground instead of a scar. Send a photo from your deck and we can usually quote it from that.
With mulching, nothing needs to leave your property. Everything grinds into a mulch layer that protects the thin soil and holds moisture. There is no burning, which matters in a lake community under burn bans half the year, and haul off is generally not needed.
Steep and rocky is the Marble Falls standard, granite on one side of town and limestone on the other. Tracked machines handle the grades and the mulching heads work right over the rock. If a slope is genuinely beyond safe machine work we will say so after seeing photos.
Constantly. Marble Falls is the commercial heart of the Highland Lakes and the neighborhoods keep spreading, so we clear lots, subdivision tracts, and pad sites on builder timelines with commercial insurance in place.
Marble Falls anchors our Highland Lakes loop with Horseshoe Bay, Burnet, and Spicewood. Most jobs get on the calendar within a couple of weeks, and single lots often slot in sooner.
Yes. Photos from the street or your deck, an aerial screenshot, or the lot survey will get most Marble Falls quotes done the same day. Flag the oaks you love and we will price around them.
