Land clearing in New Braunfels, Texas is two jobs wearing one name: cedar work on the Hill Country side of the escarpment and brush work on the blackland side. We run both weekly, with tracked mulchers for the limestone and fast skid steers for the flats, and everything grinds in place with no burning near the neighborhoods and generally no haul off.
Around New Braunfels, Gruene, Garden Ridge, and Spring Branch we handle cedar removal with oak preservation, view and defensible space clearing toward Canyon Lake, mesquite and brush clearing east toward Seguin, subdivision and pad site work on the 35 corridor, river frontage cleanup, and fence line clearing on acreage. The Comal and Guadalupe floodplains get flagged in every quote that touches them.
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 survey get most New Braunfels quotes done the same day, whether you are in Gruene, up 46 toward Spring Branch, or east on the farm roads. 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 photos on this page come from our pile grinding and clearing work in the corridor between San Antonio and New Braunfels, and the project carousel below links our written up work across the region, from the 9 acre pasture reclamation at Dale to the big mesquite clear at Whispering Oaks in Gonzales, both within forty five minutes of town.

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 heavy the growth is, what stays, and access. This corridor 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.

Pierce cleared out land for our new house, they were great, called when they got to property, worked all day, and sent us photos of their beautiful work at the end of the day! So happy with them, we're having them come back to get land graded for new house! Can't wait to see what they do this time, I was in awe of the last job!! Highly recommended if you want it done, and done right!

New Braunfels protects heritage trees inside the city limits, larger hardwoods need city sign off on development projects, and the surrounding counties have no clearing permit for your own land. Floodplain rules run serious along the Comal and Guadalupe rivers, and work near the Edwards Aquifer recharge zone west of town carries its own considerations. We flag exactly what applies when we quote your 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: rock, not mud, sets the pace here. Limestone sits close to grade, so we plan around what is under the topsoil more than around the forecast. 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 New Braunfels lots run a day or two of skid steer work. Send photos and you will usually have a real number the same day.
Both, because they are different jobs. West of I-35 is Hill Country cedar on limestone, view lots and acreage toward Canyon Lake. East of 35 is blackland and river bottom toward Seguin, mesquite and heavy brush. We run the machines to match the ground, tracked mulchers on the rock, fast skid steers on the flats.
That is the standard Comal County job. Cedar comes out from under the canopy, live oaks stay untouched, and the finished ground reads as parkland. You flag what stays, we grind what goes.
Outside the city limits, Comal and Guadalupe counties have no clearing permit for your own land. Inside the New Braunfels city limits, heritage tree rules protect certain hardwoods, which mostly matters for development projects. Cedar and brush clearing generally moves through easily. We flag exactly what applies when we quote.
With mulching, nothing needs to leave your property. Everything grinds into a mulch layer that protects the soil and holds moisture. Existing piles grind where they sit, like the ones photographed on this page, and there is no burning and generally no haul off.
Constantly. New Braunfels is one of the fastest growing cities in America and the tracts along 35, 46, and 306 turn over monthly. We clear subdivision tracts, pad sites, and utility corridors on builder timelines with commercial insurance in place.
New Braunfels sits on our loop through Canyon Lake, San Marcos, and Seguin, country we cross every week. Most jobs get on the calendar within a couple of weeks.
Yes. Photos, an aerial screenshot, or a survey with the areas marked will get most New Braunfels quotes done the same day. Flag the oaks you love and we will price around them.
