Forestry Mulching in Bullard

Forestry mulching is the right tool for most of East Texas, and it is the machine I run every day around Tyler. A tracked skid steer with a mulching head drives through standing brush, yaupon, briars, saplings and trees up to a moderate diameter and grinds them into chips on the spot. Nothing gets stacked, burned or hauled. The chips lie on the ground as a mulch layer that holds the sandy Smith County soil together, keeps the sun off the dirt so the yaupon is slower coming back, and lets you walk the property the same day. It is how I open up overgrown acreage in Lindale and Mineola, thin the understory on wooded homesites in Flint and Whitehouse, take pasture back from sweetgum around Canton and Athens, and clear trails and fence lines on timber tracts out toward Gilmer and Kilgore. Because there is no burn pile and no dump fee, it is almost always the cheapest way per acre to turn a thicket back into land you can use.

Land clearing in Bullard

Bullard straddles the Smith and Cherokee county line on US-69 south of Tyler, and the east shore of Lake Palestine is its back yard. The lake communities at Emerald Bay and Eagle’s Bluff, the acreage along FM 344 running out to the water, and the ranchettes toward Teaselville and Mt. Selman have made Bullard one of the hottest places in East Texas to buy land, and almost all of that land is timber. This is where the Smith County sand starts rolling into the red clay hills of Cherokee County, and the woods get thicker as you go south: loblolly pine, post oak, hickory, sweetgum, and yaupon so dense you lose a dog in it. I clear a lot of lake-area lots here, opening a view and a walk to the water without stripping the shade. I open homesites and drives on acreage off FM 344 and FM 2493, mulch understory on tracts that were bought for the trees, and clear fence lines for people who want a horse or a few head of cattle on the place. Bullard owners tend to want the woods kept, just made usable, and that is exactly what a mulcher does. Per-acre or per-job pricing, set after I walk the property with you.

Common Clearing Scenarios in Bullard

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

Lake Palestine lots grown shut to the water

Lots along the east shore and in the gated communities fill in with yaupon and sweetgum until there is no view. I underbrush them selectively, open a corridor to the water and leave the pines and oaks that make the lot worth having.

Clay hills south of town that gully when stripped

Toward the Cherokee County side the ground gets steeper and the red clay slicks and gullies when it is bare-cleared. Mulching holds a chip layer on the slope so a new clearing does not turn into a ditch after the first storm.

Ranchettes that need pasture and fence

People buying ten and twenty acres around Bullard want a few horses or cows on it. I mulch the brush back off old pasture, clear and open the fence lines, and take out the trees in the way of a barn pad.

Forestry Mulching in Bullard: FAQs

Do you clear lots inside Emerald Bay and Eagle’s Bluff?
Yes, and that kind of lot is where a mulcher earns its keep: selective work, tight property lines, trees that have to stay. I clear the understory and hazard trees and keep the machine where you want it. Check your community’s rules on tree removal first; I will work to them.
My Bullard tract is steep. Can you still mulch it?
Tracked mulchers handle the slopes around here fine, and the chip layer they leave is the best thing for a steep clay hillside, because it keeps the ground from washing. Where a slope is truly too steep for the machine I tell you so when we walk it.
Can you get old pasture back for horses?
Yes. Pasture that has grown up in yaupon, briars and sweetgum saplings mulches back to open ground in a pass, and once it is shredded a couple of times a year it stays that way. I also clear the fence rows so you can rebuild the fence before the stock shows up.
How big a tree can the mulcher take?
Brush, yaupon and saplings are nothing. Trees up to a moderate trunk diameter go through the head without trouble. Past that, big pines and hardwoods are better dropped and the stumps ground separately, which I also do. When we walk the property I will point out anything the mulcher should not be the tool for.
Do I need a burn permit or a dump run?
No. Everything is ground where it stands and spread as mulch. There is no pile to burn, no trailer to load and nothing to pay a landfill for. That is the whole reason mulching costs less per acre than a push-and-burn clear.
How fast does yaupon come back after mulching?
Yaupon resprouts from the roots, so it will try. The mulch layer shades the ground and slows it a lot, and most owners keep the woods open with a bush hog or a re-mulch every couple of years. Where you want it gone permanently, a dirt contractor can grub the roots after I open the ground up, and I can tell you if that is worth it on your place.
How many acres can you mulch in a day?
Light understory under big trees can run several acres a day. Dense second growth with a lot of saplings and small trees is slower, sometimes an acre or two. I quote it after walking the tract so the price reflects what is actually there, not a guess from the road.
