Clearing Land Around Elgin
Clearing around Elgin is mostly about putting ground back to work. Hay meadows and grazing land that have had mesquite and brush creep in over years of light management, and getting it back into production.
Mesquite is the main opponent and it has to be grubbed. It resprouts from the root crown, so anything that just cuts it at the surface is money wasted. A dozer taking the root ball out below the bud zone is what actually kills it.
The ground helps here. West of town the blackland is deep enough for a dozer to grub cleanly. East toward McDade it gets sandier, which also works but erodes more easily once it is bare, so we are more careful about how much gets stripped at once.
Timing is worth planning. Wet blackland is slow and hard on the ground, so late summer through winter is generally the better window for clearing on the western side.
Complete Land Clearing Solutions for Residential & Commercial Properties
Our land clearing services remove overgrowth, debris, and obstacles to prepare residential and commercial properties for future use.
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does mesquite keep coming back?
Because it was cut, not grubbed. Mesquite resprouts from the root crown. It has to come out below that to actually die.
Will clearing improve my grazing?
Usually noticeably. Brush takes water and shades grass. Most owners see a difference the first good spring after.
When is the best time to clear?
Late summer through winter on the blackland side, when the ground can carry equipment without being torn up.
What happens to the brush?
Mulched material stays down. Dozer work windrows or piles it. Haul off is available and expensive, so most owners leave it.
