Lot Clearing in Bullard, TX

Lot Clearing in Bullard

A lot of the ground changing hands around Tyler right now is wooded acreage bought by people moving in from Dallas or Houston who want a house in the trees. Lot clearing is turning that raw parcel into a place a builder can work: opening the footprint for the house, the driveway and the septic area, taking out the trees in the way, grinding the stumps so nothing sprouts under the slab, and mulching the understory on the rest so the lot is walkable and clean. I clear lots across Smith County, from one-acre homesites in Flint and Whitehouse to five and ten-acre ranchettes in Bullard, Lindale and Chandler and lake lots around Lake Palestine and Lake Tyler. The mistake I see most is over-clearing. Mature loblolly pines and post oaks take a lifetime to replace, and they are the reason the lot cost what it did. I plan the clearing around where the house, drive and utilities go, leave the trees worth keeping, and hand the builder a lot that is ready for his dirt crew instead of a bare sand pad baking in the sun.

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.
