Selective Underbrush Clearing in Chandler, TX

Underbrush in Chandler

Underbrushing is thinning out the tangle beneath your trees while leaving the trees themselves alone, and in Smith County that means a fight with yaupon. Yaupon holly grows into a solid, head-high thicket under loblolly pine and post oak, and with greenbriar, privet and young sweetgum it turns a pretty stand of timber into something you cannot see into, walk through or hunt. I grind that understory out with the mulcher and leave a clean floor of chips under the canopy. The result is open, park-like woods: shade on top, mulch underneath, sight lines all the way across the property. It is the first thing most people want done on a wooded homesite in Flint, Whitehouse or Lindale, the way lake lot owners at Lake Palestine and Lake Tyler open up a view, and how hunters and recreational owners on bigger tracts around Mineola, Gilmer and Jacksonville get their woods usable again. The big trees stay. The junk growth choking the ground under them goes.

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.
