Cedar Tree Removal
Our cedar tree service is an essential element of land clearing in Texas’ Hill Country region, particularly when dealing with cedar trees that can be difficult to remove using traditional cutting and clearing methods. Mulching has proven to be a successful alternative for cedar trees that resist traditional cutting and clearing approaches – making it such an efficient solution.
Mulching is the practice of grinding or chopping down cedar trees into smaller pieces that can be utilized as mulch in landscaping or gardening projects.
Not only does this method make it simpler to remove cedar trees from your property, but it also improves soil fertility and reduces erosion by increasing organic matter in the soil.
Mulch made from cedar trees can protect plants against extreme temperatures and droughts by conserving moisture in the soil. Not only that, but cedar mulch also looks beautiful as a decorative topping for gardens or flower beds. It adds texture and provides an aesthetically pleasing contrast with other materials that may be used nearby.
So, if you’re looking for a company that provides professional tree service, specifically with cedar trees, we got you covered!
Cedar Brush Removal
Cedar brush removal is the process of eliminating excess cedar foliage from an area. This can be done manually or with the aid of specialized machinery like excavators, skid steers and tractors. Cedar brush removal helps maintain a safe and healthy environment by reducing fire hazards as well as disease transmission risks from wild animals to people and livestock.
Rock milling is an efficient and cost-effective land clearing solution that can help to quickly and easily remove large amounts of rock and other debris. Rock milling prepares the terrain for residential and commercial construction sites or agricultural projects by grinding, crushing, and pulverizing rocks into smaller pieces without having to haul them away. This saves time and money while reducing labor requirements.
In addition to saving time, money, and labor costs, rock milling also has environmental benefits. By grinding up rocks, potential water runoff is reduced along with soil erosion. Additionally, crushing up rocks may release minerals into the surrounding soil which can help improve its fertility and structure.
Finally, when it comes to rock milling services in the Texas Hill Country, safety is a priority. Specialized equipment is used that takes into account the unique terrain in this part of Texas so that debris created during milling operations can be handled safely without risking injury or damage.
Construction site prep is an importnat part of land clearing in the Texas Hill Country. This involves activities like vegetation / rock clearing, soil stabilization, and other related operations to prepare the ground for construction projects. By properly prepping a site for construction projects, one can reduce the risk of safety hazards and minimize damage caused by debris or heavy machinery during construction.

Adam and his crew had quite the job to tackle on our rocky five acres in the hill country. Even after a few bumps, they were true to their word and didn’t finish until they left the property exactly as planned. They were professional, courteous, and took pride in their work. We’re excited to see the natural grasses grow back and actually begin to enjoy and use the majority of our land again. Would highly recommend them.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to clear an acre of land in Texas?
The cost to clear land in Texas varies based on several factors, including the area to be cleared, the terrain being cleared, and any special equipment or techniques needed. Land clearing projects can range from relatively straightforward tasks such as cedar brush removal – which involves cutting down trees into small particles for mulch – up to more complex operations like rock milling which necessitate specialized machinery and expertise.

What's the first step in Land Clearing?
Land clearing begins with an assessment of the area to be cleared and creating a plan. This should include details like size, terrain, any special equipment or techniques needed, as well as potential environmental concerns. Once this assessment is complete, vegetation such as cedar trees or plants can be removed using specialized machinery like excavators, skid steers and tractors. Once all vegetation has been eliminated, further preparation can take place with services like rock milling.
What type of trees should we keep when performing land clearing?
When performing land clearing, it is important to consider the type of trees that should be kept in order to ensure a healthy environment and prevent potential hazards.
In general, trees with wide trunks, large crowns and deep roots should be preserved as they provide essential environmental benefits such as shade, wind protection, and carbon sequestration. These trees are also beneficial for wildlife by providing homes for birds and other animals.
Additionally, some tree species like oak trees produce acorns which can act as food sources for wildlife. Keeping these types of trees when doing land clearing will help create a more balanced ecosystem.
Furthermore, mature or old-growth forests are essential habitats for many species of plants, insects and animals that cannot easily survive in younger forests. Therefore, keeping mature or old-growth forests when performing land clearing services can help to protect these unique ecosystems that cannot be recreated easily elsewhere.
Ultimately, preserving certain types of trees when performing land clearing can help to create a healthy and vibrant environment where both people and animals can thrive.

What is the typical land clearing equipment used?
Skid steers and tractors are the most commonly used equipment for land clearing. Skid steers are versatile, powerful machines that can be used to clear vegetation and rocks from the land. They come with a variety of attachments that make them ideal for land clearing operations such as cedar brush removal, rock milling, and more. Tractors are typically larger in size than skid steers and can be used for heavier tasks like removing large trees or carrying heavy loads of debris away from the site.
Skid steers feature a revolving turntable mounted on top of tracks that allow it to move quickly in any direction. This makes them very maneuverable while still providing the power needed to tackle tough jobs like clearing thick brush or grinding down stumps. They also come with a range of attachments such as augers, buckets, blades, rakes, and more that provide added versatility while performing land clearing tasks.
Tractors are larger machines featuring two tracks instead of one that provide increased stability when moving across uneven terrain. They also feature adjustable treads which give them excellent traction when climbing steep hillsides.
Both skid steers and tractors are essential pieces of equipment for successful land clearing project. With their versatility and power they can easily handle the toughest jobs while providing efficient results in a timely manner.
What is forestry mulching in land clearing?
Forestry mulching is a land-clearing technique that utilizes specialized equipment to grind down vegetation like trees and brush. Reducing this material into mulch helps promote beneficial nutrients in the soil and makes it easier for other plants to take root in its place.
