Clearing Acreage Around Austin
The clearing we do around Austin is on acreage outside the city, not on city lots. Inside the limits you are into tree ordinances, protected species and permits that make small jobs impractical for the equipment we run.
Out on acreage the job changes with which side of town you are on. West and southwest it is Hill Country cedar over thin rocky soil. East toward Manor, Elgin and Del Valle it is mesquite, huisache and brush on deeper ground where a dozer can grub properly.
Most Travis County owners want selective clearing rather than a full push. There are usually live oaks worth protecting, and a place that has been stripped looks like it and takes years to recover. Walk it with us and mark what stays.
Oak wilt is a serious issue in Travis County. The high risk window for spreading it runs February through June, and where oaks are being cut or wounded we would rather work outside it and paint the wounds either way.
List of Land Clearing Services We Provide
Professional land clearing services removing trees, brush, and debris to create clean, accessible, development-ready properties across Texas.
Forestry Mulching
Run through Pierce Land Clearing, our parent company and the same crew. Mulch stays on the ground and breaks down, so there is nothing to burn or haul.
Cedar and Brush Clearing
Dozers and excavators taking out cedar, mesquite and heavy brush. Fast on acreage and it gets the root ball, not just the top.
Homesite and Lot Clearing
Opening up a building site, the drive in and the area around it, ready for a pad to go in.
Selective Clearing
Taking out the junk and leaving the oaks and hardwoods you want to keep. Slower than a full push and worth it.
Fence Lines and Access
Clearing fence lines back so you can drive them, plus access routes into the parts of the place you cannot reach.
Our Step-by-step Land Clearing Process
We Walk It
We look at what is out there, how thick it is, what you want kept and whether equipment can reach it.
Push, Mulch or Both
Thick cedar usually gets pushed. Rocky or steep ground usually gets mulched. Most places get some of each.

We Clear It

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you clear inside Austin city limits?
Rarely. Tree ordinances, protected trees and permitting make small city lots impractical for our equipment. Our clearing is on acreage outside the city.
Can you protect my live oaks?
Yes. Selective clearing around hardwoods is most of what we do here. Mark them or walk the property with us.
When should oaks not be cut?
February through June is the high risk window for oak wilt in this area. We schedule oak work outside it where we can and paint fresh cuts regardless.
What is left on the ground afterwards?
Mulched material stays and breaks down. Dozer work leaves piles or windrows. Haul off is available but it costs real money, so most people leave it.
