Land Clearing in Jarrell, TX: Lot, Brush and Forestry Mulching

Jarrell sits at the north end of Williamson County on I-35, where the limestone comes up through thin soil and cedar, live oak and mesquite share the fence lines. A town of 2,000 pulled 278 house permits last year, and most of the lots were cedar when the buyer closed. Our crews come up from the Johnson City yard with the skid steer mulcher, and I have read canopy on this rock since 2015. Fill out the form or call (832) 987-3495. Teo will call you back before the end of the business day.

Land Clearing Services in Jarrell, TX

Pruitt Range & Brush provides land clearing services in Jarrell, TX and the surrounding area, one land clearing company with the scope for every project written before the trailer moves. Residential land clearing here is a one-acre to ten-acre ranchette cut from cedar pasture for a house, a barn and a well pad. Commercial land clearing services cover commercial sites along I-35 and the commercial development pads at the Jarrell exits; commercial clearing of a rock pad is a day for the 300-hp machine.

  • Selective clearing and brush removal: cedar and mesquite mulched in place, live oaks kept.
  • Tree removal of dead cedar and hackberry, followed by stump grinding; we grind the stumps flush, $4 an inch.
  • Site clearing and site preparation to a rough grade over caliche, drainage cut to the natural draw.
  • Property clearing of fence lines and professional clearing of creek banks under the Williamson County floodplain permit.

My site work stops at the rough grade. No concrete, wells, septic or house demolition; I know the excavation and grading crews who pick it up. A professional land clearing service names its edge. Tell Teo the acreage and the canopy and I will tell you the day count.

Lot Clearing for New Homes in Jarrell and Georgetown

Jarrell issued 278 single-family permits in 2025 by the Census Building Permits Survey, a heavy number for a town of 2,000, inside 3,945 for Williamson County. The land clearing projects outside the plats are ranchettes: one to ten acres of cedar at 40 to 60 percent canopy, a pad and a drive needed by framing. A half-acre lot is one day with the skid steer, $2,800. Five acres at medium canopy is three days with the 300-hp machine plus a rock day, and the rock day is in the quote before the price. Depending on site conditions we mulch in place and leave a 3-inch bed on the thin soil, or grub the pad and haul; the site visit decides. Residential and commercial properties get the same two calls first: Texas 811 and the plat for any pipeline or utility easement. Property owners get my acres-per-day log with the invoice. The crew will leave the site after a cleanup pass, full site rough graded and site prep done, and we make your property ready for the forms crew.

Brush Clearing and Forestry Mulching Near Jarrell

A mulcher is a land clearing method that uses specialized equipment to grind trees down to a chip bed, turning standing vegetation into mulch without a pile. On thin Jarrell soil it is the way to clear land without losing the soil, because the chip bed stays and the pile never exists. Burn bans here are declared by the county judge or commissioners court, and TCEQ outdoor burning rules govern piles the rest of the year; mulch needs no permit. Cedar, which is ashe juniper, intercepts the first inch of rain in its canopy, and AgriLife research on mature stands ties that to dry seeps and bare ground under the trees. Under 10 percent canopy the grass and the seeps return. When I wrote EQIP plans I measured it tract by tract. Golden-cheeked warblers nest in mature cedar-oak canopy from March to July under TPWD and USFWS rules, so on our jobs here old-growth cedar runs August through February. Texas A&M Forest Service puts the oak wilt window at February to June, no live oak wounds, so the crew mulches cedar around the oaks and leaves every oak limb alone then. Live oaks take a hundred years. Cedar takes the weekend. We remove brush in areas with dense regrowth first and thin to the oak motts. Large acreage clearing of overgrown land runs $900 to $1,400 an acre at light canopy and $3,000 to $4,000 in old growth, and cedar will overgrow the slope again from seed inside ten years without a bush hog pass.

How Much Does Land Clearing Cost in Jarrell?

Land clearing costs in Jarrell start at $2,800 for a half-acre cedar lot; past the first day the number depends on the size of the tract, its canopy percent and how much caliche the teeth hit. Rock adds a day on Hill Country tracts, written before the price. The land clearing Jarrell ranchette buyers pay for, in writing before the trailer leaves the yard:

  • Skid steer mulcher, $2,800 for the day. Handles stems to about 8 inches. No transport charge within 60 miles of a yard.
  • 300-hp mulcher, 8 ft head, $4,200 for the day plus transport. This is the machine for old cedar and big mesquite.
  • Bush hogging runs $60 to $90 per acre with a $400 minimum. Grubbing by dozer is $160 per hour with operator.
  • A haul-off load is $650 to $1,200. The minimum trip is $1,100.
  • Cedar mulching per acre runs $900 to $1,400 under 30 percent canopy, $1,800 to $2,600 at medium cover, and $3,000 to $4,000 in dense old growth or mesquite.
  • Grub, haul or pile, and rough grade to bare dirt: $2,000 to $4,500 per acre depending on density.
  • Stump work is $4 per inch of diameter and $175 minimum per stump; a lot with 10 or more stumps is a day rate.
  • Jarrell sits a few miles outside the 60-mile transport circle from Johnson City, so transport appears as one short line item.

The on-site estimate is free. I walk the property with you, read the canopy and the rock, and the number I write is what Teo invoices. Insured crews and a written scope. Call (832) 987-3495 or send the form and Teo will call you back before the end of the business day.
