Lot Clearing in Chandler, TX

Lot Clearing in Chandler

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 Chandler

Chandler sits on Hwy 31 west of Tyler in Henderson County, at the north end of Lake Palestine where the Neches River comes in. It is a lake town and a commuter town at the same time: close enough to Tyler to drive in every day, far enough out that you can still buy acreage, and ringed by water on the south side. The land around Chandler is where the deep East Texas pine starts to give way to post oak and open sandy ground, so a tract here might be pine timber with yaupon on one end and post oak and briars on the other. I clear lake lots along the north shore and down FM 315 so owners can see the water, open homesites and drives on acreage off Hwy 31 toward Brownsboro, mulch understory on recreational tracts people bought for weekends, and take out the water oaks and sweetgums that spring storms leave leaning. Lake property is tight work: property lines are close, the shoreline has rules, and the shade trees are the point. A mulcher handles that where a dozer cannot. Pricing is by the acre or the job and set after I walk the land with you.
