Brush Removal in Tyler, TX

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

Brush Removal in Tyler

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 Tyler

Tyler is the Smith County seat and the biggest town in East Texas between Dallas and Shreveport, and it is growing outward in every direction at once. The city itself is roses, azaleas and old oaks, but drive ten minutes past Loop 323 in any direction and you are in the woods: loblolly pine, post oak, sweetgum and a yaupon understory on rolling red sand. That is the ground I clear. South Tyler is pushing hard down Old Jacksonville Highway and Hwy 155 toward Flint and Lake Palestine, Loop 49 has opened up acreage on the west and south sides that used to be too far out, and east of town the lots around Lake Tyler and Lake Tyler East keep changing hands. Most of the people calling me have just bought five or ten acres and found out the pretty woods in the listing photos are a solid yaupon thicket you cannot walk into. I mulch the understory so you can see your land, open a house pad and drive without flattening the pines, take out the dead and leaning trees, grind the stumps, and clear fence lines so you can finally put up a fence. Pricing is by the acre or the job, set after I walk it with you, and the number does not move once the machine is on your property.

Common Clearing Scenarios in Tyler

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

Acreage on the south side that was never cleared

The land selling along Old Jacksonville Highway, Hwy 155 and the new stretches of Loop 49 is mostly pine and post oak timber that has never been touched. Buyers want a house in the trees, not a bare pad. I open the footprint and drive, mulch the understory on the rest, and leave the big pines standing.

Red sand that washes the minute it is bare

Tyler sits on sandy, iron-red soil that ruts and gullies after a hard rain if you strip it. That is why I mulch rather than push and burn: the chip layer holds the sand in place on a slope and keeps a fresh clearing from becoming a wash by the first spring storm.

Lake Tyler lots grown shut

Lake lots on Lake Tyler and Lake Tyler East that sat unused for a few years are thick with yaupon and sweetgum right down to the water. Underbrushing opens the view and the shoreline back up while the oaks and pines that shade the lot stay put.

Brush Removal in Tyler: FAQs

Do you work inside the Tyler city limits or only out in the county?
Both. In town it is usually a wooded lot in South Tyler or near one of the lakes that needs the understory cleared or a few hazard trees taken out. Outside the loops it is acreage. If a mulcher can reach it, I clear it.
What does it cost to clear an acre near Tyler?
Yaupon and light brush under mature pines is the cheapest kind of clearing, a few hundred dollars an acre and up. Thick second growth with saplings and small trees runs more. Large trees, stumps and tight work near a house are priced by the job. I walk the property first and you get the real number before I start.
Can you clear a homesite without taking down all the pines?
That is the whole point of working with a mulcher instead of a dozer. I open the house pad, the drive and the septic area and mulch the understory everywhere else, so you end up with a house in the woods rather than a sand lot with a house on it.
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.
