Lot Clearing in Tyler, TX

Lot Clearing in Tyler

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 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.
