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

Land Clearing Services in Pflugerville, TX

Pruitt Range & Brush provides land clearing services in Pflugerville, TX and the surrounding area from the Johnson City yard: one professional land clearing service with three yards and one written scope on every project. Residential land clearing covers homesite lots, horse acreage and overgrown land behind an older farmhouse. Commercial land clearing services cover pad sites and commercial sites along SH 130; commercial clearing for a small commercial development strip takes the 300-hp machine for a day.

• Brush removal and selective clearing, with mesquite and hackberry mulched in place.
• Tree removal with stump grinding after it. We grind the stumps flush at $4 per inch of diameter.
• Site clearing and site preparation to a rough grade, with drainage swales cut where the clay ponds.
• Property clearing of fence lines and professional clearing of creek banks without wounding the big cedar elms.

My site work stops at the rough grade. I do not pour concrete, drill wells, set septic or demolish houses. I know people who do, and the excavation and grading contractors I hand off to are the ones I would hire myself. Tell Teo what is standing on your lot and I will tell you which machine it needs.

Lot Clearing for New Homes in Pflugerville and Round Rock

Pflugerville pulled 377 single-family permits in 2025 by the Census Building Permits Survey, inside a Travis County total of 4,727. Most of those are platted subdivision lots the builder clears with his own iron. The land clearing projects that come to me are the half-acre to two-acre homesites north of town, where a buyer closes on a mesquite patch and needs dirt by framing. A half-acre lot is one day with the skid steer, $2,800. Two acres of hackberry and mesquite is two days. Depending on site conditions I either mulch in place or grub, pile and haul, and I say which on the site visit, not after. Residential and commercial properties get the same checklist: I call Texas 811 and read the plat for any pipeline or utility easement before a tooth touches dirt. Blackland holds water, so wet ground adds a day between November and April. The crew will leave the site with a cleanup pass on the last afternoon, the full site ready for the forms crew, site prep done. Property owners get the acres-per-day log with the invoice, and we make your property ready for the slab the week we leave.

Brush Clearing and Forestry Mulching Near Pflugerville

Mulching is a land clearing method that uses specialized equipment to grind trees, brush and vegetation into mulch where they stand. It is the fastest way to clear land on blackland because nothing has to be hauled and nothing has to burn. Travis County burn bans come from the county judge or commissioners court, and TCEQ outdoor burning rules govern any pile the rest of the year. Mulch has no pile. On our jobs east of I-35 the mesquite comes out at the root crown or it comes back, which is why bush hogging alone fails on a mesquite pasture. Hackberry and cedar elm overgrow a fence line in ten years and shade out the grass under them. We remove brush in areas with dense regrowth first, then thin the rest so the big elms stay. Real cedar, which is ashe juniper, only shows up on the limestone west of MoPac, so the golden-cheeked warbler window TPWD enforces from March to July rarely touches a Pflugerville job. Large acreage clearing of overgrown land runs $900 to $1,400 an acre at light canopy, and the head will grind an 8-inch mesquite without slowing. A 4-inch mulch bed holds the clay together until grass comes back. Blackland is a sponge in March and a brick in August. Call it mid-season and we schedule you for dry ground.
