CLEARING
Erath County works harder than most: dairies, horse operations, and ranches that need every acre earning. Mesquite does not get a vote. We grub it by the root around Stephenville, crowns and taproots out, with our documented Hico project thirty minutes up 281 and quotes in machine days on paper.
Dairy country, horse country, and Cross Timbers ranch ground all meet around Stephenville, and none of them can spare acres to mesquite.
Stephenville’s dairies and horse operations run on improved pasture and hay ground, and mesquite invasion costs them real production. Ag pulls here prioritize clean finishes: crowns out, holes closed tight, ground graded smooth enough to cut hay over the first season back. The machine work respects that this dirt has a day job.
Off the improved ground the county runs sandy Cross Timbers ranch land where the mesquite grows old and the post oak crowds in. Those pulls run classic brush-country: density walked and counted, crowns out whole, burn rows stacked, and the sandy finish dressed so the pasture seeds instead of scarring.
The full grubbing trade from our Texas grubbing page, planned for Stephenville brush.
Mesquite pulled crown and taproot off hay ground, horse pasture, and ranch flats, with finishes clean enough to mow the first season.
Cedar and stumps grubbed clean, the Hico project thirty minutes north documents exactly this work at 15 solid acres.
Arena, barn, and homesite footprints grubbed to the root before pads, on the standard our own dirt crews require.
Burn rows for the ranch ground, haul-off for the operations where burning does not fit, both priced plainly.
Pastures and hay meadows reclaimed: grubbed, raked, graded, and ready to sprig or seed on your schedule.
Roots out ahead of pads, lanes, and tanks, with our excavation crew running the dirt in the same mobilization.
Machine days set the base: the iron, the days, the transport. Grubbing prices above mulching because it moves dirt as well as wood and finishes with grading. Our published land clearing price page carries the per-acre logic and day rates every quote is built from, so the arithmetic is checkable before we meet.
Stephenville quotes respect the day job: ag-ground pulls price their finish work honestly because hay and horses need smooth, and Cross Timbers pulls price by density like all brush country. Highway 281 keeps mobilization simple, the Hico project 30 minutes north anchors the local proof, and every line sits against our published day-rate logic.
Pictures of the brush and a rough acreage get a same-day ballpark, because in grubbing the density in the photos is most of the price.
We count stems, judge root age, flag every keeper tree, and find what the ground is hiding before it finds the budget.
Machine days on paper: grubbing, disposal, and finish grading as separate lines you can check against our published price page.
Root-puller dozer on the flats, excavator and root rake in the thick stuff, grapple for the stacking. The density count picks the machines.
Crowns and taproots out, holes closed, material stacked in rows placed for drying and burning, ground graded smooth behind the work.
The finished ground gets inspected against the quote together: roots gone, piles where agreed, keepers standing. Fixed before we load.
Full project pages with photos and timelines behind every card.
A grubbed hay meadow that cannot be cut smooth was not finished, it was abandoned. Erath ag pulls end with the holes closed tight, the spoil worked flat, and a surface a swather can run without eating dirt. That finish is priced in, because around Stephenville it is the actual product.
Horse operations need pasture without holes, stobs, or half-buried roots, full stop. Our pulls for horse ground run the extra rake pass and the walk-behind inspection, because a missed root stob out here is a vet bill. The finished pasture is turnout-safe, and we walk it with you to prove it.
Fifteen acres of solid cedar grubbed and cleared, documented with photos on a public project page, thirty minutes up 281. Erath and Hamilton county ground is the same country, and the same crew and iron answer Stephenville calls with the local case already made.
Not every operation can burn rows, and Erath’s dairies often cannot. Haul-off disposal gets priced plainly when the property calls for it, mulch-the-tops-grub-the-crowns shrinks the volume first, and the quote shows both options side by side so the operation picks what fits.
Absolutely outstanding quality work by Pierce Land Clearing. Two days into the clearing the operator became ill and with no delays a new operator was dispatched to complete the job on schedule. Without a doubt, would use them again.

They did a great job for us. We had them clear our 4 acre residential lot of about 3 acres of cedar and yaupon. Some of the cedars were old and huge while other areas were very dense.

I called them after having bad service with another company. Preston explained the cost of everything up front. He answered all my questions and concerns. I emailed a Google map of the area and he got back with me within hours.

To the turnout standard: roots and stobs out, holes closed tight, an extra rake pass, and a walk-behind inspection before we call it done. The finished ground is safe for hooves, which is the entire assignment.
Timed right, no: fall and winter pulls with a spring seeding put most Erath meadows back in the cutting rotation the first season. The walk sets the schedule around your operation, not ours.
The Hico project, 30 minutes north: 15 acres of solid cedar grubbed and cleared, public write-up and photos. Morgan and Cleburne document the same range, and the transport line prices like the local work this is.
Your call, priced plainly: burn rows stacked and placed for drying, full haul-off at the premium, or tops mulched while crowns get grubbed to shrink the piles. Most working ranches take the rows.
Yes, same crew, same mobilization: pads, tanks, roads, and grading on ground we grubbed to our own standard. One plan, one invoice, no gap between contractors.
Multi-day scopes mobilize within a few weeks of a signed quote, and the transport line prices the real drive honestly. Brush country is our documented range, not the edge of the map.
Photos of the brush and a rough acreage get a same-day ballpark. A density walk gets a written number that holds.
