159 Acre Big Sky Solar Land Clearing Project in Rosanky, Texas
- Proudly Servicing Rosanky, Texas Customers
Big Sky Solar in Rosanky handed us the scope most clearing contractors split in two: we ran both the mulching and the grubbing ourselves. 159 acres cleared for a utility scale solar site in 61 days, with a Barko 930B mulcher, two Komatsu PC360 excavators, and Komatsu D85 and D39 dozers working as one crew. It is the same playbook we ran on the 1,200 acre Cattlemen Solar build in Rosebud, sized to a tighter site in the Lost Pines country of Bastrop County.

Big Sky Solar Clearing in Rosanky, TX - 159 Acres, Both Scopes
The Barko 930B carried the surface clearing, taking the array areas down to a clean mulched finish. Behind it, the two PC360 excavators handled the below grade scope, grubbing root systems out of the pads, roads, and trenching corridors, and the dozers split the dirt work by weight class: the D85 on the heavy pushing and stacking, the D39 on finish work where the engineers needed compacted, root free soil rather than a mulched surface.
At 159 acres in 61 days the production math works out to roughly two and a half acres a day, and that number tells the honest story of dual scope work. Grubbing is below grade production, slower and heavier than mulch only clearing, and it is the part that decides whether the following trades can actually build on the ground you hand them. Running both scopes as one operation means no gap between the mulcher finishing and the dirt crew starting, and no second contractor to sequence around.
Project Details:
Location: Rosanky, Texas
Project Size: 159 Acres
Service Type: Solar Farm Clearing, Grubbing and Mulching
Equipment Used: Barko 930B, 2 Komatsu PC360, Komatsu D85 and D39 Dozers
Completion Time: 61 Days
Solar developers measure clearing contractors one way: did the dates hold. Big Sky Solar wrapped in its 61 day window with the spec verified across all 159 acres and the site handed off clean, no debris backlog, nothing waiting under the surface where the piles and trenches were going, because the grubbing crew had already been through it.
Projects like this are scope priced, with the number built from real production rates and put on the table before mobilization. Between Cattlemen at 1,200 acres, Brownwood at 800, the LCRA corridor in a 37 day window, and Big Sky at 159 with both scopes self performed, our solar and utility scale clearing record is documented, not claimed. If your project has a spec and a date, call 512-400-2693.

Real Reviews. Real Results.
Never easy to write a big check, but well worth it. After two days they completely transformed a ten acre holly-choked mess into an open and inviting forest. Taylor bid the job and recommended the larger dozer-sized forestry mulcher.
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.
Pierce Land Clearing did a great job clearing mesquites and cedars from a field so we can plant. They got it done quickly and for a great price. Great folks.

Frequently Asked Questions
Mulching is surface work: the vegetation is cut and ground into a mulch layer, which is what the array areas need. Grubbing is below grade work: root systems come out entirely so the soil under roads, pads, and trenching corridors can be compacted. On Big Sky we ran both, the Barko 930B on the mulch scope and the PC360 excavators and dozers on the grubbing.
Because sequencing two contractors is where solar schedules go to die. A mulching sub finishes, demobilizes, and the dirt contractor mobilizes behind them, and every handoff is a gap. We ran both scopes as one coordinated crew on Big Sky, releasing finished, verified sections continuously, which is a big part of how 159 acres wrapped in 61 days.
Big Sky ran 159 acres in 61 days, roughly two and a half acres a day. Mulch only clearing runs faster, but grubbing is slower, heavier, below grade production, and it is what makes the ground buildable. The date we commit to is production math built on the actual scope, not optimism, and this project held its window.
Scope priced. Acreage, vegetation density, the mulch spec, the grubbing zones, and the timeline set the number, and it goes on the table before mobilization. Big Sky, Cattlemen Solar, and Brownwood all finished on their timelines, and that record is exactly what you are buying.
