Brush Removal in Canton, TX

Brush Removal in Canton

Leave a piece of ground alone for three summers in Smith County and the brush owns it. Yaupon fills in head high, greenbriar ties it together, privet and young sweetgum push up through old pasture, and a lot you could once mow becomes a wall. Brush removal is getting that growth off the land and giving it back to you. Around Tyler I handle it two ways: mulching the brush in place, which is fastest and cheapest and leaves a clean layer of chips, or cutting and hauling it where you want the material gone, such as next to a house or on a finished lawn. I clear brush off overgrown lots in town, off acreage people have just bought in Lindale, Van and Chandler, around ponds and barns on ranchettes near Bullard and Whitehouse, and off pasture edges from Canton to Jacksonville. East Texas brush grows back thick and grows back fast, so I also tell you honestly what it takes to keep it down once it is gone.

Land clearing in Canton

Canton is the Van Zandt County seat on I-20, 35 miles west of Tyler, and most of Texas knows it for First Monday Trade Days, the enormous monthly flea market that fills the north side of town. The rest of the month it is a quiet courthouse town surrounded by ranch and acreage country along Hwy 19, Hwy 64 and Hwy 243, with Mill Creek Lake on its south side. This is the western edge of the piney woods. The ground is sandy loam and the trees are post oak, hickory and scattered pine, and the brush that takes over a neglected place here is eastern red cedar, greenbriar and sweetgum rather than the solid yaupon of Smith County. I clear homesites and drives for people building around Canton, mulch cedar and brush off pasture that has grown shut, clear fence lines and property lines on ranchettes toward Edgewood, Ben Wheeler and Grand Saline, and open up wooded tracts people bought for the weekend. Cedar is good news for a landowner: it grinds easily and does not grow back from the stump, so a mulched pasture stays clear with a little shredding. One operator, one machine, priced by the acre or the job after I walk the place with you.
