Land Clearing in Liberty Hill, TX: Lot, Brush and Forestry Mulching

Land Clearing Services in Liberty Hill, TX

Pruitt Range & Brush provides land clearing services in Liberty Hill, TX and the surrounding area from Johnson City, and every project is sized in canopy percent and days. Residential land clearing here means a cedar lot opened to the oaks for a house, a drive, a septic field and a view of the San Gabriel valley. Commercial land clearing services cover commercial sites along SH 29 and the commercial development pads near US 183; commercial clearing of a rock pad is one day with the 300-hp machine. I run one land clearing company across three yards and the scope is written before a trailer rolls.

• Selective clearing and brush removal: cedar mulched in place, oak limbs left alone.
• Tree removal of dead cedar and hackberry; stump grinding follows and we grind the stumps flush at $4 an inch.
• Site clearing and site preparation to a rough grade over rock, drainage cut to the natural draw.
• Property clearing of fence lines and professional clearing of the North Fork banks under the Williamson County floodplain permit.

Site work stops at the rough grade. No concrete, wells, septic or house demolition from me; the excavation and grading crews I hand to know this rock. A professional land clearing service tells you its limits. Tell Teo the acreage and canopy and I will give you the day count.

Lot Clearing for New Homes in Liberty Hill and Leander

Liberty Hill recorded 107 single-family permits in 2025 by the Census Building Permits Survey, but most lots here are unincorporated Williamson County, so that number understates the work by a wide margin. The land clearing projects I take are one-acre to five-acre cedar lots. The 1.2-acre job here is the model: 60 percent canopy going in, oaks kept, one day with the skid steer, $2,800. A half-acre lot is the same day and price. Five acres at 70 percent canopy is three days with the 300-hp machine plus a rock day, and the rock day is in the quote before the price. Depending on site conditions we mulch in place and leave a 3-inch bed on the slope, or grub the pad and haul; the site visit decides. Residential and commercial properties start with the same calls: Texas 811 and the plat for any pipeline or utility easement. Property owners get my acres-per-day log and both canopy readings with the invoice. After a cleanup pass the crew will leave the site with the full site rough graded, site prep done, and we make your property ready for forms.

Brush Clearing and Forestry Mulching Near Liberty Hill

Mulching is the land clearing method that uses specialized equipment to grind trees and cedar in place, and it turns the whole stand of vegetation into mulch by the end of the day. On Liberty Hill limestone it is the only way to clear land that keeps the thin soil where it is and never builds a pile. Williamson County burn bans come from the county judge or commissioners court, and TCEQ outdoor burning rules govern piles the rest of the year; mulch needs neither. Cedar, which is ashe juniper, intercepts the first inch of rain in its canopy, and AgriLife research on mature stands shows why the seeps below a brake go dry. Under 10 percent canopy they run again. A cow will tell you where the water is before a hydrologist will, and on our jobs here the cows find the seep first. Golden-cheeked warblers nest in mature cedar-oak canopy from March to July under TPWD and USFWS rules, so old-growth cedar here runs August through February. Texas A&M Forest Service says no live oak wounds February to June for oak wilt, so the crew mulches cedar around the oaks without touching an oak limb in that window. We remove brush in areas with dense regrowth first and thin to the motts. Large acreage clearing of overgrown land runs $1,800 to $2,600 an acre at medium canopy and $3,000 to $4,000 in old growth. Cedar will overgrow the slope again from seed inside ten years, so the plan carries a bush hog pass in year three.
