Brush Removal in Kilgore, TX

Brush Removal in Kilgore

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 Kilgore

Kilgore sits on the Gregg and Rusk county line about 25 miles east of Tyler on Hwy 31, the town that the East Texas Oil Field built in 1930 and still wears it: the derricks of the World’s Richest Acre downtown, the East Texas Oil Museum at Kilgore College, and old lease ground on every side. Hwy 42, Hwy 135 and Hwy 259 run out of town through pine timber and pasture, I-20 and the Sabine River bottom are just north toward Liberty City, and the Rusk County side to the south is pine plantation and ranch country. The land here has a history under it: old well pads, lease roads, pipeline rights-of-way and tank battery sites that have grown shut with yaupon and sweetgum since the field slowed down. I reopen those roads and rights-of-way, mulch the brush off old pad sites so the acreage is whole again, clear homesites and drives for people building off Hwy 42 and Hwy 135, underbrush wooded tracts, clear fence lines on the ranch ground south of town and take out the hazard pines near homes. Sandy ground, fast-growing brush, and a lot of iron in the way means I walk every tract first, flag what matters, and price it by the acre or the job before the machine shows up.
