Land Clearing Services in Bryan
Five lines cover the land clearing service in Bryan we run: yaupon and brush removal, lot clearing to dirt, stump grinding, bush hogging and rough grading. Pruitt Range & Brush provides land clearing with insured crews and a written price. Residential land clearing means a yaupon-choked acre off SH 21 or a 30-acre post oak pasture closing in. Commercial land clearing services take pad sites along SH 6, pipeline easements and commercial properties in Bryan. Residential and commercial properties get the same machine; commercial sites take more days, commercial clearing bills by the acre. Property clearing for a cattle lease is land improvement. Every project starts with an 811 locate. Tree removal next to a roofline belongs to an arborist; professional clearing across acreage, plus cleanup and landscape clearing at the pad, is ours. We do not pour concrete, drill wells, set septic or tear down houses. Tell Teo which line.
Site Prep for New Homes in Bryan and College Station
Bryan issued 876 single-family permits in the 2025 Census Building Permits Survey, inside a Brazos County total of 1,687 that rose 22 percent in a year. A half-acre lot in yaupon under post oak is one skid steer day, $2,800, mulched in place with the oaks kept. Full site clearing to dirt for a slab, with grubbing, haul-off and rough grading, runs $2,000 to $4,500 an acre. Sandy loam drains, so site work runs most of the winter; the exception is the river bottoms, where dirt moving in FEMA mapped floodplain along the Brazos and Navasota needs a county floodplain development permit. Drainage on sand is quick; the question is erosion on a cut slope, and the mulch band answers it. Site preparation for commercial development along SH 6 runs the same math. The city to the south enforces tree rules inside its limits, and I check them for lots across the line. Teo needs the survey and the slab corners.
Brush Clearing and Forestry Mulching Near Bryan
Forestry mulching is a land clearing method that uses specialized equipment to grind trees, brush and vegetation into mulch where they stand, with no pile to burn when the county judge or commissioners court declares a burn ban; TCEQ outdoor burning rules never apply. Yaupon is the target here, and it prices like East Texas pine understory, $1,200 to $2,000 an acre. It will overgrow a savannah from the root in five years, so a bush hog alone thickens it; we remove brush at the ground and you bush hog each June. Selective clearing keeps the post oak and takes the yaupon and winged elm between them. Texas A&M AgriLife sits down the road, and its range work on canopy and grass recovery is what I read when I wrote EQIP plans. Stems to 8 inches are skid steer work, 1 to 3 acres a day; overgrown land in old thicket goes to the 300-hp head at 4 to 8. Cedar, which is ashe juniper, is scarce here. The crew will leave the site covered 2 to 4 inches deep in mulch.
How Much Does Land Clearing Cost in Bryan?
Land clearing costs in Bryan run $900 to $4,500 an acre depending on site conditions. The rule first: the river bottoms hold water, and wet ground adds a day from November to April. Rates:
- Skid steer mulcher, stems to 8 inches: $2,800 a day. Inside 60 miles of the Johnson City yard transport is included; Bryan is past that, so transport is a line on the quote.
- The 300-hp mulcher, 8 ft head, runs $4,200 a day plus transport: the large acreage clearing machine on tracts over 10 acres.
- Yaupon and post oak understory: $1,200 to $2,000 an acre. Light brush under 30 percent canopy: $900 to $1,400. Areas with dense old-growth thicket or mesquite: $3,000 to $4,000.
- Dirt-ready clearing, root excavation and rough grading in the number: $2,000 to $4,500 an acre depending on stems and haul.
- Stump grinding is $4 per inch across the cut, $175 minimum per stump; ten or more and we grind by the day at the day rate.
- Mowing with the bush hog runs $60 to $90 an acre, $400 minimum. Dozer grubbing $160 an hour. A haul-off load is $650 to $1,200, $1,100 minimum trip.
Pasture with an approved EQIP brush management plan, practice code 314, earns 50 to 75 percent of the NRCS schedule rate. Twelve years of writing those plans means I can read yours. Within 60 miles of a yard the site visit costs nothing; outside that ring the quote comes from your form, confirmed when I walk the property. The written number starts with a call to (832) 987-3495.
