Land Clearing & Site Prep in Collin County
Overgrown acreage, brushy lots and fence lines buried in privet: cleared, mulched or hauled, and graded so whatever comes next starts on clean ground.
Most of our clearing work starts with a fence. A new line can't go in until the brush, saplings and old wire along it are gone, and on the edges of Collin County that often means a strip of privet, cedar and greenbriar nobody has touched in years. We bought the equipment to do that properly, and now clear whole lots and acreage the same way.
Every clearing job starts by agreeing what stays. We walk the property with you, flag the trees you want to keep, mark survey pins and utilities, and decide whether cleared material is mulched in place or hauled away. We don't burn: many areas restrict open burning, and mulch protects bare soil from washing out.

View serviceWhich clearing method fits?
| Method | What it leaves | Best for | Trade-off |
|---|---|---|---|
| Forestry mulching | A layer of mulch on the ground | Brush and small trees on acreage, slopes and creek banks | Stumps stay at grade |
| Clearing and haul-off | Bare ground, stumps pulled | Building pads, new construction, gardens | More trucking; soil left exposed |
| Brush cutting | Cut stubble | Pasture upkeep, fence lines, firebreaks | Fastest, but regrowth returns |
| Selective clearing | Chosen trees, open understory | Wooded homesites and park-like lots | Slower, more handwork |
We recommend a method on site once we've seen the vegetation, the slope and what you're building next.
What affects your estimate
- AreaTotal ground to clear, and how it's shaped.
- Vegetation densityLight brush, thick privet, or trees with trunks over a few inches.
- Mulch or haulHauling adds trucking and disposal; mulching leaves material on site.
- StumpsGround to grade, or pulled with the roots.
- Terrain and accessSlopes, creek banks, wet ground and gate widths for equipment.
- GradingFinish grading or erosion control after clearing.
Common questions
Do you burn the brush?
No. Many cities and counties restrict open burning, and burn bans are common in dry months. We mulch material in place or haul it off, and the mulch also protects bare soil from erosion.
Can you keep certain trees?
Yes. We walk the site with you first and flag every tree that stays. Selective clearing around keeper trees is a large part of our work.
Do I need a permit to clear land?
Often not for brush, but some cities protect larger trees and regulate work near creeks and floodplains. We check your city's rules before any sizable tree comes down.
How much ground can you clear in a day?
It varies widely with density and terrain, from a large backyard to several acres of light brush. We give you a realistic schedule with the estimate.
