Land Clearing Services in College Station
Five lines make up the land clearing service in College Station we run: yaupon and lot clearing to dirt, brush removal, stump grinding, rough grading and bush hogging. Pruitt Range & Brush provides land clearing with insured crews and a written price. Residential land clearing means a yaupon acre off FM 2154 or a 20-acre post oak tract. Commercial land clearing services take pad sites along SH 6, pipeline easements and commercial properties in College Station south of the university. On residential and commercial properties the mulcher is the same; commercial sites just run longer, and commercial clearing is billed per acre. Property clearing for a horse lease is land improvement. Every project begins with an 811 locate call. An oak over the kitchen is tree removal for an arborist, not a mulcher; professional clearing of acreage, the cleanup and landscape clearing around the pad belong to us. No concrete, wells, septic or demolition. Tell Teo which line.
Site Prep for New Homes in College Station and Bryan
College Station issued 811 single-family permits in the 2025 Census Building Permits Survey, inside a Brazos County total of 1,687 that grew 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, slab-ready, grubbing, hauling and rough grading included: $2,000 to $4,500 an acre. The city enforces tree rules inside its limits, so site work starts with the protected trees flagged. Sandy loam drains and we grade most of the winter; the river bottoms are the exception, where dirt moving in FEMA mapped floodplain needs a county floodplain development permit first. Drainage on sand is quick, so the mulch band stays on the cut slope against erosion. Site preparation for commercial development along SH 6 runs the same math. Send the survey and the slab corner stakes to Teo.
Brush Clearing and Forestry Mulching Near College Station
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 prices like East Texas understory, $1,200 to $2,000 an acre, and it will overgrow a savannah from the root inside five years, so a bush hog alone just thickens it. We remove brush at the ground and you bush hog each June. Selective clearing keeps the post oak and cedar elm shade and takes the yaupon between them. Texas A&M AgriLife is across town, and its range research on canopy and grass recovery was the backbone of the EQIP plans I wrote. The skid steer takes stems to 8 inches and covers 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 on this sand. We leave the site with a 2 to 4 inch mulch layer, not bare dirt.
How Much Does Land Clearing Cost in College Station?
Land clearing costs in College Station 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 for stems to 8 inches: $2,800 a day. The rate includes transport within 60 miles of the Johnson City yard; this route is past that, so transport is a line on the quote.
- For large acreage clearing, the dedicated 300-hp mulcher, 8 ft head, is $4,200 a day plus transport 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: $3,000 to $4,000.
- Clearing to dirt with root excavation and rough grading: $2,000 to $4,500 an acre.
- We grind each stump at $4 per inch of diameter, $175 minimum per stump; stump grinding on ten or more goes by the day at the day rate.
- The bush hog goes out at $60 to $90 an acre, never under $400. The dozer grubs at $160 an hour with operator. Haul-off $650 to $1,200 a load, $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. I wrote those plans for 12 years and can tell you what yours pays. The site visit is on me within 60 miles of a yard; past that I price from your form and confirm when I walk the property. Call (832) 987-3495 to get it in writing.
