Brush Removal in Flint, TX

Yaupon, briars, privet and sweetgum scrub cleared off your lot or pasture so you can use it again.

Brush Removal in Flint

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 Flint

Flint is the unincorporated country southwest of Tyler along Old Jacksonville Highway (FM 2493), Hwy 155 and FM 346, and it is where South Tyler is growing fastest. Gresham on the north end runs straight into the city, Noonday is just down the road, Lake Palestine is a few minutes west, and the south end of Loop 49 has put all of it within an easy drive of town. The result is that wooded tracts that were pasture or timber for generations are being carved into acreage homesites, and every one of them has the same yaupon understory under the pines and post oaks. I spend a lot of my year in Flint. I open house pads and drives on new lots off FM 2493 and FM 346, mulch understory on tracts so the owner can walk them, clear the lots on the east side of Lake Palestine along Hwy 155 so there is a view, take down dead pines before a storm does it, and clear fence lines for the small horse places that are everywhere out here. The soil is deep sand, which makes mulching the right call: a chip layer keeps a fresh clearing from washing down the slope toward the lake. One operator, one machine, a per-acre or per-job price set after a walk.

Common Clearing Scenarios in Flint

The land clearing jobs I see most around here, and how I handle them.

Homesites coming out of old timber and pasture

Flint tracts are selling as fast as they can be surveyed, and most start as pine and post oak timber with a yaupon thicket. I open the pad, drive and septic area, mulch the rest and leave the big trees, so the owner gets a house in the woods instead of a sand lot.

Deep sand that moves when it is bare

The ground between Gresham and Lake Palestine is loose sand that ruts and washes the first time it rains on a bare clearing. Mulching in place leaves a protective chip layer, which is why I do it that way instead of pushing and burning.

Small horse places that need pasture and fence

Flint is full of five and ten-acre places with a couple of horses. I mulch brush back off the pasture, clear the fence rows so they can be rebuilt, and take out the trees in the way of a barn or arena pad.

Brush Removal in Flint: FAQs

Do you cover Flint, Gresham and Noonday?
Yes. This is the middle of my area. Anything along Old Jacksonville Highway, Hwy 155 and FM 346 from the Tyler line down to the lake is a regular drive for me.
How soon after closing can you clear my new tract?
Usually within a couple of weeks of a walk, sooner in winter when the schedule is lighter. If you have a builder waiting on a pad, tell me the date and I will work to it.
Can you open my Lake Palestine lot without clearing it bare?
That is the right way to do a lake lot. I underbrush it, open a corridor to the water and take out dead trees, and leave the oaks and pines for shade. The lot ends up with a view and a yard instead of a sand slope sliding toward the lake.
What is the difference between brush removal and forestry mulching?
Mulching is one way to remove brush: grind it in place and leave chips. Brush removal is the broader job, which can also mean cutting the material and hauling it off when you want it gone completely. I do both and recommend whichever fits your lot, your budget and what you plan to do with the ground.
Can you clear the brush without hurting the trees I want to keep?
Yes. Clearing the understory while leaving the pines and post oaks standing is the most common request I get. I work around the trees you point out and keep the machine off their trunks and major roots.
How do I keep the brush from coming right back?
Yaupon and sweetgum resprout from the roots, so plan on maintenance: shred or bush hog once or twice a year, or re-mulch every couple of years, and the ground stays open. Where you need it permanently clean, root grubbing by a dirt contractor is the next step after I clear it. I will tell you which your land needs.
