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 cedar, live oak and pecan has gotten, what you want left standing, and how the machines get through your gates. Transport to Hood 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.

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.

I have nothing but great things to say about Pierce Land Clearing. They were punctual and professional. Bobby was an artist on his machine. Great folks and great work.

Hiring them to clear a piece of land on which we eventually want to build our future home was one of the best decisions I have made. First and foremost, the quality of their work is excellent. Second, these guys do not skimp.

Rural Hood County clearing on your own land needs no permit, and agricultural work is exempt from most regulation in Texas. Inside Pecan Plantation 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.
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.
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 Pecan Plantation are one or two days.
Yes, and on these lots that is the whole point. The mulching head takes the understory and leaves the pecans, oaks and elms untouched. We work around trunks and root zones rather than through them, and we will tell you before we start if something you want kept is too close to work safely.
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.
No. Material is mulched where it falls and stays on your lot as a layer, so there is no pile, no burning and no trucks hauling debris past anybody. Most lot jobs here are a single day, and the operator cleans the edges before he loads out.
On rural Hood County land you own, generally no, and agricultural work is exempt from most regulation in Texas. Inside the Pecan Plantation 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 Pecan Plantation 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 Hood 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.
