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.

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 mesquite, elm and yaupon has gotten, what you want left standing, and how the machines get through your gates. Transport to Travis 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

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.
We would highly recommend Pierce Land Clearing. Their professionalism and quick response to questions started with our initial communication with Preston. Dustin was the operator that did the work. The job was completed quickly and we were amazed by the final outcome.

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.

Rural Travis County clearing on your own land needs no permit, and agricultural work is exempt from most regulation in Texas. Inside Pflugerville 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: the blackland clay here gets greasy after rain, so we watch the forecast 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.
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 Pflugerville are one or two days.
Yes, and near Pflugerville that is common. A skid steer mulcher fits where a big machine will not and leaves the ground mulched rather than rutted. We walk the access and the easements first, because on a tight lot those decide the machine more than the acreage does.
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.
Yes, and it is usually the smart order. Getting a clean corridor in early means the concrete and lumber trucks are not making their own road through your trees. We cut it to the width you need, leave the ground mulched, and keep what you marked to stay.
On rural Travis County land you own, generally no, and agricultural work is exempt from most regulation in Texas. Inside the Pflugerville city limit, clearing tied to a build goes through normal permitting. Check before you clear inside the limit.
From the crown, yes, if it is only mulched. Mesquite resprouts from below the soil line, so on ground you want back in production properly the crown has to come out, which is dozer or excavator work rather than a mulching head. We will tell you which your ground needs.
Blackland clay is the reason we ask. Working saturated ground tears ruts that outlast the job and does not clear any faster. If your place is soaked we will tell you to wait rather than take the deposit and make a mess.
Yes, along with the rest of Travis 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.
