Clearing Land Around Canton
Canton is the Van Zandt County seat on I-20, 35 miles west of Tyler, and most of Texas knows it for First Monday Trade Days, the enormous monthly flea market that fills the north side of town. The rest of the month it is a quiet courthouse town surrounded by ranch and acreage country along Hwy 19, Hwy 64 and Hwy 243, with Mill Creek Lake on its south side. This is the western edge of the piney woods. The ground is sandy loam and the trees are post oak, hickory and scattered pine, and the brush that takes over a neglected place here is eastern red cedar, greenbriar and sweetgum rather than the solid yaupon of Smith County. I clear homesites and drives for people building around Canton, mulch cedar and brush off pasture that has grown shut, clear fence lines and property lines on ranchettes toward Edgewood, Ben Wheeler and Grand Saline, and open up wooded tracts people bought for the weekend. Cedar is good news for a landowner: it grinds easily and does not grow back from the stump, so a mulched pasture stays clear with a little shredding. One operator, one machine, priced by the acre or the job after I walk the place with you.

Common Clearing Scenarios in Canton
The land clearing jobs I see most around here, and how I handle them.
Cedar taking over pasture
Around Canton the brush that eats pasture is eastern red cedar, with briar and sweetgum mixed in. Cedar grinds clean and does not resprout, so a mulched pasture here stays open with a shredding once or twice a year.
Post oak tracts with briar underneath
The post oak and hickory woods west of the pines carry greenbriar and sweetgum saplings under the canopy instead of yaupon. I mulch the understory and leave the oaks, which turns a briar patch into open savannah you can walk and graze.
Fence lines on bigger places
Ranch tracts around Canton run long fence lines that close in with cedar and briar. I clear a clean strip the full length so the fence can be rebuilt, and leave a mowable buffer so it does not grow shut again.
