Clearing Land Around 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.

Common Clearing Scenarios in Tyler

The land clearing jobs I see most around here, and how I handle them.

Acreage on the south side that was never cleared

The land selling along Old Jacksonville Highway, Hwy 155 and the new stretches of Loop 49 is mostly pine and post oak timber that has never been touched. Buyers want a house in the trees, not a bare pad. I open the footprint and drive, mulch the understory on the rest, and leave the big pines standing.

Red sand that washes the minute it is bare

Tyler sits on sandy, iron-red soil that ruts and gullies after a hard rain if you strip it. That is why I mulch rather than push and burn: the chip layer holds the sand in place on a slope and keeps a fresh clearing from becoming a wash by the first spring storm.

Lake Tyler lots grown shut

Lake lots on Lake Tyler and Lake Tyler East that sat unused for a few years are thick with yaupon and sweetgum right down to the water. Underbrushing opens the view and the shoreline back up while the oaks and pines that shade the lot stay put.

Land Clearing in Tyler: FAQs

Do you work inside the Tyler city limits or only out in the county?
Both. In town it is usually a wooded lot in South Tyler or near one of the lakes that needs the understory cleared or a few hazard trees taken out. Outside the loops it is acreage. If a mulcher can reach it, I clear it.
What does it cost to clear an acre near Tyler?
Yaupon and light brush under mature pines is the cheapest kind of clearing, a few hundred dollars an acre and up. Thick second growth with saplings and small trees runs more. Large trees, stumps and tight work near a house are priced by the job. I walk the property first and you get the real number before I start.
Can you clear a homesite without taking down all the pines?
That is the whole point of working with a mulcher instead of a dozer. I open the house pad, the drive and the septic area and mulch the understory everywhere else, so you end up with a house in the woods rather than a sand lot with a house on it.
