Land Clearing in Manor, TX: Lot, Brush and Forestry Mulching

Land Clearing Services in Manor, TX

Pruitt Range & Brush provides land clearing services in Manor, TX and the surrounding area, and every project gets a written scope before a machine loads. I run a land clearing company, so the work is sized in acres and stems. Residential land clearing here is a farmhouse lot with forty years of hackberry on the fence, or a five-acre piece a family bought for a barndominium. Commercial land clearing services cover commercial sites along US 290 and the warehouse pads going in near SH 130; commercial clearing of a 10-acre commercial development is a two-day job for the big machine.

• Brush removal, selective clearing and property clearing of old hedgerows, mulched in place.
• Tree removal and stump grinding: we grind them flush at $4 per inch of diameter so the slab does not sit on a rotting root.
• Site clearing and site preparation to a rough grade, with drainage cut so the clay drains toward the bar ditch and not the house.
• Professional clearing of creek banks under the county floodplain rules, without disturbing the channel.

What I do not do: concrete, wells, septic, house demolition. My site work ends at the rough grade and I know the excavation and grading crews who pick it up from there. A professional land clearing service tells you where its job stops. Send Teo the acreage and I will tell you the day count.

Lot Clearing for New Homes in Manor and Pflugerville

Manor recorded 331 single-family permits in 2025 in the Census Building Permits Survey, against 4,727 for Travis County. The land clearing projects I get are the ones outside the plats: a two-acre corner of a cotton field with a mesquite motte on it, or an old homestead lot where the hackberry took the yard. A half-acre lot is one day with the skid steer, $2,800. Two acres of mixed mesquite and hackberry runs two days, and property owners get my acres-per-day log with the invoice. Depending on site conditions I mulch in place or grub and haul, and I decide that on the site visit, standing on your lot, not from a satellite photo. Before the first pass I call Texas 811 and check the plat for any pipeline easement; there is gas under a lot of this farmland. Wet blackland adds a day from November to April, and I put that in the quote before the price. Residential and commercial properties both get a cleanup pass on the last afternoon so the crew can leave the site ready for the slab crew, site prep complete. We make your property buildable; the full site is staked and graded rough when the trailer leaves.

Brush Clearing and Forestry Mulching Near Manor

The land clearing method that uses specialized equipment to grind trees and brush into a bed of chips is what I run most days: a mulching head turns standing vegetation into mulch in one pass. On east Travis clay that is the cheapest way to clear land, because mulch does not need a burn permit and a pile does. Burn bans are set by the county judge or commissioners court, and TCEQ outdoor burning rules govern piles the rest of the year. A mulched hedgerow has no pile. Mesquite regrows from buds below the root crown, so a bush hog shaves it and triples the stems; the mulcher takes it below ground level or we grub it. Hackberry and cedar elm overgrow a fence line fast and shade out the grass, and we remove brush in areas with dense regrowth first, then open the rest. There is little cedar, which is ashe juniper, on blackland, so the TPWD golden-cheeked warbler window from March to July almost never limits a Manor schedule. Large acreage clearing of overgrown land runs $900 to $1,400 an acre at light cover and $1,800 to $2,600 where the mesquite has closed in. On our jobs here the mulch bed goes down 3 to 4 inches and holds the clay through the spring rains until grass comes back. A mesquite will outlive the fence you built to keep the cows off it. Send me the acreage and I will tell you how many days it takes to change that.
