Reveal the natural beauty of the Hill Country
Our capabilities
As opposed to other clearing methods such as slash and burn or bulldozing, our mulchers chew through dense brush and small trees leaving the subsoil undisturbed and the topsoil enriched with a layer of fresh cedar mulch,
Our machines can clear roughly an acre of brushy land per day*. Generally, no new material needs to be trucked on site or taken off site, making forestry mulching a faster, more efficient, and more affordable alternative to other methods.
What to expect
We conduct a review of your property and recommend a targeted approach for clearing brush, determining what gets shredded to mulch and, more importantly, what gets left in tact.
We’ll identify any potential obstacles such as large rocks or debris to prep the property for our mulching machines.
Mulchers will then sweep the property, clearing brush and leaving behind a layer of cedar mulch providing a strong base for future soil regeneration.
Advantages of mulching
Mulching offers many environmental and financial benefits relative to other methods of land clearing.
Generally, mulching is a much more affordable and time-efficient alternative to hand clearing. There’s no need for burning or hauling cuttings offsite, we turn brush into soil enriching mulch.
Bulldozers are heavy and tend to compact soil such that growing grasses, plants, and trees after clearing can be challenging. Our machines are much lighter and leave soil undamaged.
We’ll leave your property in much better condition than when we found it, ready for the next phase of prairie restoration.
Pricing guidance
Each piece of property is unique and therefore requires its own unique solution to overgrowth, so we can’t give you an exact price without first assessing your specific needs.
That said, the all-in cost per acre to clear land in the Hill Country is usually between $2,300 and $3,700 per acre. Factors that make a project more expensive per acre include:
Larger trees and denser vegetation
Exceptionally rocky terrain
Steep slopes
Conservation subsidy assistance
Did you know the state of Texas and the USDA want you to thin out your dense underbrush? So much so they’ll pay you to do it.
Dense brush actively threatens Texas water resources, degrades wildlife habitats, and increases wildfire risks, state agencies offer substantial financial incentives, grants, and cost-share programs to help private landowners foot the bill.
