Land clearing in Wimberley, Texas is stewardship work. The valley’s springs, cypress lines, and views are the whole point, and clearing here means taking the cedar that threatens them while touching nothing else. Our mulchers do exactly that, cedar ground where it stands, cypress and oaks untouched, and a mulch finish that holds the slopes instead of scarring them.
Around Wimberley, Woodcreek, and Fischer we handle cedar removal and defensible space, view clearing over the valley, homesite and lot clearing, creek-adjacent understory work done to floodplain rules, fence line clearing, and pile grinding. There is no burning near the creek, ever, and 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 or onX pins get most Wimberley quotes done the same day, whether your place is in the valley, up the Backbone, or out toward Fischer. 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.

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 price comes down to a few things: acreage, how heavy the cedar is, slope and rock, what stays, and access. The valley is home range, 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.

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.
Preston and all the folks at Pierce were absolutely great to work with. The job was done on schedule and as quoted, and done well. Price was very fair as well. Highly recommend Pierce Land Clearing.

These guys are fast and efficient. We used them on a project we thought was going to take them days and they got it done in a half day. We will definitely use them again, it was worth every penny.

I cannot say enough good things about my experience working with Pierce Land Clearing. We have a large piece of very heavily wooded and overgrown property and their equipment was able to clear a clean, wide road and open several acres.

Wimberley’s city rules are light and mostly touch development, but the valley’s real rulebook is floodplain: the Blanco and Cypress Creek carry serious flood history and serious rules, and work near either gets flagged in every quote. Oak wilt best practices and HOA standards in Woodcreek round out the considerations. We flag exactly what applies when we quote the job.
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 east of I-35 gets greasy after rain, so we watch the weather 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.
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 cedar and bigger acreage. Most Wimberley lots run a day or two. Send photos and you will usually have a real number the same day.
Well. Our San Marcos jobs sit fifteen minutes down the hill, the photos on this page come from that same stretch of Hays County hill country, and the Devil’s Backbone loop through Blanco and Canyon Lake crosses the valley constantly.
That is the whole point in Wimberley. Cypress Creek and the Blanco are the valley’s soul, and clearing near them means taking cedar and scrub while the cypress, the oaks, and the banks stay untouched. Floodplain rules run serious here and we work to them.
Significantly, and Wimberley takes it seriously. Cedar stacked on the steep slopes around the valley is the fuel that carries Hill Country fires, and defensible space around homes is some of the most valuable work we do in Hays County.
With mulching, nothing needs to leave your property. Everything grinds into a mulch layer that protects the thin soil and holds moisture. There is no burning, which the valley appreciates, and haul off is generally not needed.
The valley sells its views of the Blanco and the Devil’s Backbone, and cedar steals them. We take the cedar between your place and the country, keep the frame oaks, and leave clean ground. Send a photo from your porch and we can usually quote from it.
Wimberley is home range on the Hays County loop with San Marcos, Dripping Springs, and Blanco. Most jobs get on the calendar within a couple of weeks.
Yes. Photos, an aerial screenshot, or onX pins with the areas marked will get most Wimberley quotes done the same day. Flag the oaks and cypress you care about and we will price around them.
