Land Clearing Services in Crandall
Five jobs make up the land clearing service in Crandall we run: bush hogging, brush removal, lot clearing to dirt, stump grinding and rough grading. Pruitt Range & Brush provides land clearing with insured crews and a written price before anything loads. Residential land clearing means an acre lot with the fence row standing, or a 20-acre pasture going back to brush. Commercial land clearing services take pad sites on US 175, pipeline easements and commercial properties in Crandall. Residential and commercial properties get the same machine; commercial sites take more days, and commercial clearing bills by the acre. Property clearing before a sale is land improvement. Every project starts with an 811 locate. Tree removal next to a roofline belongs to an arborist; professional clearing across acreage, plus cleanup and landscape clearing at the pad, is ours. We do not pour concrete, drill wells, set septic or tear down houses. Tell Teo which job.
Site Prep for New Homes in Crandall and Forney
Crandall issued 313 single-family permits in the 2025 Census Building Permits Survey, inside a Kaufman County total of 1,057. Most came out of hay meadow with a bois d'arc row on one side. A half-acre lot in hackberry and bois d'arc is one skid steer day, $2,800, mulched in place; bois d'arc stumps grind at $4 an inch because the wood is hard enough to dull teeth. Full site clearing to dirt for a slab, with grubbing, haul-off and rough grading, runs $2,000 to $4,500 an acre. The site work rule comes before the price: wet blackland adds a day from November to April. Drainage on flat clay is slow, so the pad goes where March water does not stand. Site preparation for commercial development along US 175 runs the same math. Dirt moving in FEMA mapped floodplain along the East Fork needs a county floodplain development permit first. Teo needs the survey and the slab corners.
Brush Clearing and Forestry Mulching Near Crandall
Forestry mulching is a land clearing method that uses specialized equipment to grind trees, brush and vegetation into mulch where they stand, so there is no pile when the county judge or commissioners court declares a burn ban, and nothing for TCEQ outdoor burning rules to govern. Hackberry and mesquite overgrow a blackland field from the root crown; a bush hog alone shortens the thicket. We remove brush at ground level, then you bush hog each June. Selective clearing keeps the pecan by the pond and takes the rest. Stems to 8 inches are skid steer work, 1 to 3 acres a day; overgrown land in old mesquite goes to the 300-hp head at 4 to 8. Last fall on a tract off US 175 we read 40 percent canopy in, under 5 out. Cedar, which is ashe juniper, is scarce out here. The crew will leave the site covered 2 to 4 inches deep in mulch.
How Much Does Land Clearing Cost in Crandall?
Land clearing costs in Crandall run $900 to $4,500 an acre depending on site conditions. Rule first: wet blackland adds a day from November to April. Rates:
- Skid steer mulcher, stems to 8 inches: $2,800 a day. Inside 60 miles of the Weatherford yard transport is included; Crandall is past that, so transport is a line on the quote.
- For large acreage clearing, the dedicated 300-hp mulcher, 8 ft head, is $4,200 a day plus transport and anything over 8 inches.
- Light brush, canopy under 30 percent, runs $900 to $1,400 an acre, medium runs $1,800 to $2,600, and areas with dense old mesquite or hackberry run $3,000 to $4,000.
- Clearing to dirt with root excavation and rough grading: $2,000 to $4,500 an acre depending on stems and haul.
- We grind each stump at $4 per inch of diameter, $175 minimum per stump; stump grinding on ten or more goes by the day instead.
- Bush hog: $60 to $90 an acre with a $400 minimum. The dozer grubs at $160 an hour with operator. A haul-off load is $650 to $1,200, $1,100 minimum trip.
Pasture with an approved EQIP brush management plan, practice code 314, earns 50 to 75 percent of the NRCS schedule rate. I wrote those plans for 12 years and can tell you what yours pays. Within 60 miles of a yard the site visit costs nothing; outside that ring the quote comes from your form, confirmed when I walk the property. The written number starts with a call to (832) 987-3495.
