Brush Removal in Gilmer, TX

Brush Removal in Gilmer

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 Gilmer

Gilmer is the Upshur County seat, about 35 miles northeast of Tyler where Hwy 155, Hwy 271 and Hwy 300 meet, a courthouse town famous for the East Texas Yamboree every October and surrounded by some of the heaviest pine timber in the region. Lake Gilmer sits northwest of town, Lake O’ the Pines is a short drive east, and the hills from Big Sandy up through Pritchett and Union Grove are loblolly and shortleaf pine, red oak and sweetgum on red sandy clay, with a yaupon understory and poultry houses tucked into the clearings. This is timber country first. The tracts I clear around Gilmer are hunting and recreational land, homesites carved out of family timber, pasture that was let go and has come back in sweetgum and pine seedlings, and long fence lines on ranch ground that have grown shut. I underbrush tracts so the owner can walk and hunt them, open homesites and drives while keeping the big pines, mulch sweetgum back off pasture, clear fence rows and lanes, and take out the storm-damaged and beetle-killed pines that lean toward a house or a chicken house. The clay hills gully when they are stripped, so mulching in place is how I work here. One operator, one machine, a per-acre or per-job price set after I walk the land with you.
