West is farm country on I-35 and it has stayed farm country while the rest of the corridor filled in. Deep blackland running north toward Abbott and Hillsboro, row crop and hay meadows, and family places that have been in the same hands a long time.
The clearing problems here are the slow kind rather than the dramatic kind. A fence row that got away. A creek bottom filling with elm and hackberry and pushing into the field a few feet a year. Mesquite in a corner nobody has shredded since the last owner retired. None of it looks urgent from the road until you measure how much ground it has taken. Pasture reclamation gets the grass back, and where mesquite has to stop returning it is grubbing at the crown rather than a mulching head. Clear the line before you build the fence, not after.

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 hackberry has gotten, what you want left standing, and how the machines get through your gates. Transport to McLennan 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
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.
Outstanding company. Cleared out around 9 acres of mesquites and prickly pears and some broken down oak trees. The operators are very good at what they do and very courteous. I have some more projects coming up and for sure I know who to call.

Just had a fence line for a 50 acre tract cleared. Some ravines, trees, trash trees. It is amazing! Will with his magic machine cleared that path and much more. Stumps, dead trees, things that the pioneers could have only dreamed of.

Taylor was very professional from start to finish. Great to deal with and on time. Equipment was top notch. We had a few challenges to overcome and he tackled them head on instead of backing away. Only company I will call for future land clearing needs.

On rural McLennan County land you own, clearing generally needs no permit and agricultural work is exempt from most regulation in Texas. Inside West city limits, clearing tied to a build runs through normal permitting.
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 fence row and field edge work around West is one or two days.
Yes, and on McLennan County farm ground it is most of what we do. mesquite, elm and hackberry grown through the wire, taken back to a clean line you can build on and see along. Clear before you fence rather than after; a line cut through standing brush costs more and comes out crooked.
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 a deposit and make a mess of it.
From the crown, yes, if it is only mulched. Mesquite resprouts from below the soil line, so on ground you want back in production 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.
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.
On rural McLennan County land you own, generally no, and agricultural work is exempt from most regulation in Texas. Inside the city limit, clearing tied to a build goes through normal permitting. Check before you clear inside a limit.
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.
It can, depending on what you change the ground to. Clearing brush back to grazeable pasture usually supports the exemption rather than threatening it, but a call to the McLennan County appraisal district before you change land use is worth the ten minutes.
