Land clearing in Rhome, Texas is happening on the front line of the Fort Worth push north. The 287 corridor through southeast Wise County has gone from cattle country to contract country in a hurry, and the calls reflect it: tracts that need to be survey clean before a closing, homesites cut on five and ten acre splits, and long time owners clearing brush off ground their family has run cattle on for forty years because the taxes finally made them do something with it.
Around Rhome, Newark, Aurora, and Boyd we handle homesite and pad clearing, development tract mulching, mesquite and cedar removal, pasture reclamation, fence line corridors, and driveway access. The ground here is sandy Cross Timbers loam with post oak in the draws and mesquite everywhere the plow and the fire stopped. Forestry mulching grinds everything in place, which keeps the organic matter on soil that needs it and keeps burn piles off a tract with new neighbors on two sides.
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, aerials, a plat, or onX pins get most Wise County quotes done the same day, whether you are clearing a homesite or a whole tract before it changes hands. 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 are from our cedar clearing in north Texas Cross Timbers country. For the Rhome job written up in full, look at our 3 acre selective homesite clearing project in Cleburne: shade trees flagged and kept, everything else mulched, build ready in a day. Our 125 acre pasture reclamation in Elgin is the same job at tract scale.

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: acreage, how thick the mesquite and brush are, what stays, and access. Transport to Wise County is built into the quote up front, 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.
I had about 5 acres that had gotten out of hand with mesquite and cactus. They spent 2 days on the property with a root puller dozer, even in a storm on the second day! I am absolutely pleased with the work.

Had a 4 acre job with hundreds of trees and underbrush. Probably been 50 years since this property was touched. Called and scheduled Pierce Land Clearing and from start to finish was satisfied. Communication was great.

They were very timely and, more importantly, Bobby listened carefully to understand our goals exactly and executed the work perfectly and extremely efficiently! I could not be more pleased with the results!

Rural Wise County clearing on your own land needs no permit, and agricultural work is exempt from most regulation in Texas. Inside Rhome city limits, clearing tied to a build runs through the normal permitting process, and new subdivisions along the corridor often come with their own tree and drainage requirements written into the plat. Send us what you have and we will flag anything that matters before we quote.
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.
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 brush and bigger tracts. Most Rhome homesite work is one to two skid steer days. Send photos and acreage for a real number, usually the same day.
Yes, and we get asked often along 287. Tell us the closing date and what the buyer or the surveyor needs to see, and we will give you a day count you can hold us to. We self perform the work, so the schedule is ours to keep rather than a sub we are chasing.
Constantly. We open the building envelope, cut the drive, keep the trees that make the lot worth the money, and leave it ready to survey and grade. Selective clearing costs more per acre than a full clear and it is what separates a lot that sells from one that sits.
Mulching takes it down to the ground and puts the material back into the soil, and the pasture comes back the same season. Mesquite is a fighter, so we will tell you honestly what regrowth looks like on your ground and whether you should plan a second pass or follow up with a spray program.
With mulching, nothing needs to leave your property. Everything grinds into a mulch layer that protects the soil, holds moisture, and feeds the grass as it breaks down. There are no brush piles to burn and no haul off trucks to pay for, which is a big part of why mulching costs less than traditional clearing.
It is a big reason mulching wins out here. No burning, no chipper running all week, no line of trucks hauling brush past a new subdivision. One machine, in and out, and a mulch mat left behind instead of a scraped lot blowing dust at somebody.
In open mesquite a dedicated mulcher moves quickly, and in heavy cedar or thick draw brush it covers 1.5 to 2.5 acres a day. Skid steers average half to three quarters of an acre. We give you a day count with the quote, not a range.
Yes. Photos, an aerial screenshot, a plat, or onX pins with the areas marked get most Rhome quotes done the same day, without you waiting on a site visit to get a number you can plan around.
