Land clearing

Overgrown lot? Our crews clear it.

A tract full of trees and brush is hard to show, hard to price and hard to use. Our crews bring the equipment — forestry mulchers, excavators, skid steers and haul trucks — clear the lot, grub the stumps and leave a graded surface that is ready for a yard, a pad or simply a clean listing photo.

What's included

  • Brush and tree removal

    Mulching or cutting of brush and trees across the lot, with select trees kept where you want shade or a buffer.

  • Stump grubbing and root raking

    Stumps and roots removed where the surface will be built on, so they don't settle under a pad or a gravel yard.

  • Debris and haul-off

    Downed timber, old fencing, concrete and trash loaded and hauled to a permitted facility; mulch can stay on site as ground cover.

  • Rough grading

    Lot graded for positive drainage and proof-rolled, ready for base material, a slab or a survey crew.

How a job runs

  1. 1

    Walk the lot

    We confirm the boundary, what stays, what goes, access for equipment and where material will leave the site.

  2. 2

    Written scope and price

    A fixed scope with a per-acre or lump-sum price, the schedule, and what permits or tree-preservation rules apply.

  3. 3

    Clear and grade

    Most lots under five acres take two to five working days. We keep the entrance and neighboring property protected.

  4. 4

    Walk-through

    You see the finished site before the last invoice. Photos and, for listed tracts, an updated aerial for the listing.

Questions we hear

Do I need a permit to clear land in Houston?
Clearing itself usually doesn't need a City of Houston permit, but tree-preservation rules apply along public rights-of-way, floodplain and wetland rules can apply to parts of a lot, and some counties and MUDs have their own requirements. We check before we start and tell you what applies.
What happens to the trees?
Your choice: mulched in place as ground cover, hauled off, or marketable timber sold with the proceeds credited to the job.
Can you clear only part of the lot?
Yes. Many owners clear the frontage and the building area first and leave a tree buffer along the back or a neighbor's line.
