Selective Underbrush Clearing in Tyler, TX

Underbrush in Tyler

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 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.
