Land Clearing Services in Burleson
Our land clearing service in Burleson comes down to five jobs: brush removal, stump grinding, lot clearing to dirt, rough grading and bush hogging. Pruitt Range & Brush provides land clearing with insured crews and a written price. Residential land clearing means a post oak acre off the Chisholm Trail Parkway or a mesquite pasture south of town. Commercial land clearing services take pad sites, pipeline easements and commercial properties in Burleson along I-35W. Residential and commercial properties see the same machine; commercial sites take more days, and commercial clearing is billed per acre. Property clearing before a sale is land improvement visible from the gate. Every project starts with an 811 locate. Tree removal next to a roofline belongs to an arborist; professional clearing of acreage, cleanup and landscape clearing around the finished home are ours. We do not pour concrete, drill wells, set septic or tear down houses. Tell Teo which one you need.
Site Prep for New Homes in Burleson and Joshua
Burleson issued 163 single-family permits in the 2025 Census Building Permits Survey, and Johnson County 1,952, most of them on former pasture outside city limits. A half-acre lot in post oak scrub and mesquite is one skid steer day, $2,800, mulched in place with the mature 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. On the blackland side the site work rule comes first: wet clay adds a day from November to April. On the sand side the ground drains and we work through winter. Drainage on a Cross Timbers lot is rarely the problem; erosion is, so mulch stays on the slope. Burleson has a tree ordinance inside city limits, and site preparation starts with the protected trees flagged. Commercial development along I-35W runs the same per-acre math. Send Teo the survey and the pad location.
Brush Clearing and Forestry Mulching Near Burleson
Forestry mulching is a land clearing method that uses specialized equipment to grind trees, brush and vegetation into mulch where they stand, with nothing piled and nothing burned. The county judge or commissioners court declares a burn ban most dry summers, and TCEQ outdoor burning rules govern piles anyway, so no pile means no exposure. Mesquite is the problem here. It regrows from a root crown below grade, so a bush hog alone lets it overgrow the pasture again in three years. We remove brush to the ground, then you bush hog each June. We cleared 8 acres of mesquite and post oak pasture in Parker County in 2 days for $8,400; a June bush hog has kept it open. Selective clearing keeps the post oak motts for shade. The skid steer runs 1 to 3 acres a day; the 300-hp head takes overgrown land in old mesquite at 4 to 8. Cedar, which is ashe juniper, shows up only on the limestone near Cleburne. The crew will leave the site covered 2 to 4 inches deep in mulch.
How Much Does Land Clearing Cost in Burleson?
Land clearing costs in Burleson run $900 to $4,500 an acre depending on site conditions. The rules first: wet blackland adds a day from November to April, and rock adds a day where the limestone shows. The rates:
- Skid steer mulcher, stems to 8 inches: $2,800 a day, transport included because Burleson is within 60 miles of the Weatherford yard.
- 300-hp mulcher: $4,200 a day plus transport, 8 ft head, built for large acreage clearing.
- Per acre by canopy: light, under 30 percent, $900 to $1,400; medium, $1,800 to $2,600. Areas with dense old-growth mesquite or cedar: $3,000 to $4,000.
- Full clearing to dirt, roots out by excavation, rough grading done: $2,000 to $4,500 an acre by density.
- Stump grinding, $4 per inch of diameter and $175 minimum per stump; we grind a lot with ten or more by the day.
- Bush hogging $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.
A pasture with an approved EQIP brush management plan, practice code 314, gets 50 to 75 percent of the NRCS schedule rate back. When I wrote those plans too many sat unexecuted; now I read yours and tell you what it pays. The site visit is free here, and when I walk the property you get the number in writing.
