Land clearing in San Antonio, Texas runs from cedar on the aquifer limestone to mesquite in the brush country, often inside the same week. Our grub and mulch work photographed on this page shows the standard: roots out where regrowth matters, everything ground to a clean mulched surface, no burning inside the metro, and the tree ordinance respected on every development site.
Across San Antonio, Universal City, Bulverde, Helotes, and Converse we handle development tract clearing, infill lot clearing, right of way and easement corridors, cedar removal and defensible space on the north side, mesquite and huisache clearing to the south, and cleanup work behind storms and other trades. Haul off is generally not needed with mulching.
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, an aerial, or a site plan gets most San Antonio quotes done the same day, from a backyard lot to a full tract. 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.
Every clearing photo on this page is from our own San Antonio area jobs, led by our 4.2 acre selective land clearing project in San Antonio, where we protected heritage trees with a highway on one side and new homesites on the other. The carousel below leads with that write up, and our 12 acre grubbing and land clearing project in San Antonio sits right behind it.

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 site is different, so price comes down to a few things: acreage, how heavy the growth is, what stays, and access. Commercial projects get a firm written scope against the site plan, 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.

San Antonio’s tree preservation ordinance is the one that matters: significant and heritage trees above set trunk sizes carry protection and mitigation requirements on development projects, and work over the Edwards Aquifer recharge zone on the north side carries its own rules. Brush and understory clearing on residential and ag land generally needs nothing. We work these ordinances regularly and flag exactly what applies when we quote your project.
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: caliche and sand mean we rarely lose a day to rain here, and access is usually the limiting factor rather than weather. 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 growth and larger tracts. Infill lots usually run a day, and development tracts scale from there. Send photos or a site plan and you will usually have a real number the same day.
Yes, and the photos on this page are the proof: our own grub and mulch clearing inside the metro, plus the golf course cleanup we ran at Universal City on the northeast side. San Antonio is a regular stop, not a stretch.
We work with it constantly. San Antonio’s tree preservation rules protect significant and heritage trees on development projects, with mitigation requirements when protected trees come out. Brush, cedar, and understory clearing generally moves through easily. We flag exactly what applies to your project when we quote it.
The combination that fits a lot of Bexar County jobs: grubbing pulls the roots of the trash growth so it does not come back, and mulching grinds everything into a clean surface layer. You get root-dead clearing with a mulched finish instead of a field of holes and a burn pile.
With mulching, nothing needs to leave the site. Everything grinds into a mulch layer that controls erosion and dust, and there is no burning, which matters inside the metro. Haul off is generally not needed.
Constantly. Tract clearing ahead of dirt work, right of way, pad sites, and clean up behind other trades, with commercial insurance in place and schedule dates kept. Our 38 acre commercial clear at Brownsville ran exactly that playbook.
All of it, and the ground changes side to side: Hill Country cedar over the aquifer on the north side, brush country mesquite and huisache to the south, and infill lots everywhere between. The machines match the ground.
Yes. Photos, an aerial screenshot, or a site plan will get most San Antonio quotes done the same day. For tracts, mark the boundaries on the aerial and we will price the clearing phase against it.
