Forestry Mulching 13

High Horsepower Dedicated Mulchers

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.

Land Clearing 6

Skid Steer Mulchers for Precision Work

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.

Permits in Olney

Rural Young County clearing on your own land needs no permit, and agricultural work is exempt from most regulation in Texas. Inside Olney 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.

How Long Does It Take?

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.

Olney Land Clearing FAQs

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 Olney are one or two days.

Different parts of it, different ways. Grazing ground is worth taking properly, crown out, so the grass actually comes back and stays. Hunting ground is worth thinning and cutting lanes through while leaving the cover and travel corridors. Clearing it all serves neither. We walk it and split it with you.

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.

Done right it helps both. Solid mesquite carries very little browse and quail need bare ground to move on and cover to duck into, not a wall of brush. Thinning and cutting lanes puts sunlight on the ground and brings forbs back. Clearing every acre would hurt, and we will say so.

On rural Young County land you own, generally no, and agricultural work is exempt from most regulation in Texas. Inside the Olney 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 Olney 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 Young 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.
