Lot Clearing in Lindale, TX

Lot Clearing in Lindale

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 Lindale

Lindale sits where I-20 crosses US-69 north of Tyler, close enough to Dallas that the interstate has turned it into one of the fastest-growing towns in Smith County. People come for the small-town square and the Cannery district downtown, the blackberry farms, and the room to spread out, and then they buy ten acres off FM 16 or Hwy 110 North and find out what East Texas timber looks like up close. The ground around Lindale is sandy and rolling, which is why blackberries and peaches do so well here, and it grows pine, post oak and sweetgum with a yaupon thicket underneath just as well. I clear a lot of new acreage up here: homesites in the country between Lindale and Swan, lots around Hideaway and Garden Valley, ranchettes toward Mt. Sylvan and the Wood County line, and old pasture that has grown back up in briars and sweetgum while a place sat on the market. The job is usually the same: mulch the understory so the owner can walk the land, open a pad and a drive, take out the dead pines, and clear the fence lines so the place can be fenced for a horse or two. One machine, one operator, priced by the acre after I walk it with you.
