Land Clearing Services in Seguin, TX
Pruitt Range & Brush provides land clearing for residential and commercial properties in Seguin, from a town lot off FM 78 to a 50-acre pasture reclaim. I run a land clearing company serving ranchers first, so every project gets a stem count, a soil note and a written scope before I quote.
- Site prep and site work for a house pad, barn or shop
- Brush clearing with mesquite and huisache mulched in place
- Pasture reclaim: selective clearing that keeps post oak motts and pecans
- Full site clearing to dirt: grub crowns, rough grading, cleanup
- Stump grinding, $4 per inch of diameter, $175 minimum each stump
- Tree removal, hauled off at $650 to $1,200 per load
- Commercial land clearing services for commercial sites on I-10 and pipeline rows
- Bush hogging at $60 to $90 an acre, $400 minimum
Residential land clearing and pasture work split the calendar in Seguin, TX and the surrounding area; commercial clearing for a commercial development pays the same day rates. A professional land clearing service in Seguin should talk animal units as well as acres. I do.
Lot Clearing for New Homes in Seguin and New Braunfels
Seguin issued 801 single-family permits in 2025 by the Census Building Permits Survey, more than half the Guadalupe County total of 1,546, which fell 19 percent from 2024. A half-acre lot is one skid steer day, $2,800, mulched in place, and we leave the site with nothing to haul. Site preparation ends at rough grading. I do not do excavation for slabs, concrete, wells or septic. I know people who do.
The land clearing process on a lot here starts with the flood map. Ground in the FEMA mapped floodplain along the Guadalupe River needs a county floodplain development permit before dirt moves. On blackland, wet clay adds a day from November to April and drainage means grading the pad to a swale first; sandy loam east of town works year round. Huisache blooms pretty in February, and that is the last kind thing I will say about it. Bring the plat and I will walk the property with you before the quote.
Brush Clearing and Forestry Mulching Near Seguin
Forestry mulching is a land clearing method that uses specialized equipment to grind trees, brush and vegetation into mulch in one pass, and on a Seguin pasture it beats a chain and a burn pile by weeks. The county judge declares burn bans in dry summers and TCEQ outdoor burning rules govern every pile; a mulched pasture has no pile. The skid steer takes stems to about 8 inches, and old post oak or dense mesquite goes to the 300-hp mulcher with the 8 ft head at 6 to 8 acres a day.
Mesquite resprouts from the root crown, so a mulch-only pass buys about two seasons. For a true reclaim the dozer grubs the crowns at $160 an hour and the mulcher cleans up behind it. When I wrote EQIP plans under practice 314, mesquite reclaim was the one ranchers wanted most. For a comparison: 8 acres of mesquite and post oak pasture in Parker County took 2 days at $8,400, with a bush hog follow-up each June. Property clearing here means remove brush, keep the oak motts, grind the stubs, and make your property carry cattle or a house instead of overgrown land. Areas with dense huisache run near half an acre a day, and the mulch left behind reads as landscape by summer.
How Much Does Land Clearing Cost in Seguin?
Land clearing costs in Seguin run $900 to $4,000 an acre, set by mesquite and huisache density, with a half-acre lot fixed at $2,800. Wet blackland adds a day in the cool months and transport from Johnson City is listed; both go on the quote before the acre price. The final number depends on the size of the tract, access and site conditions.
- Light brush under 30 percent canopy: $900 to $1,400 an acre
- Medium density: $1,800 to $2,600 an acre
- Dense old mesquite: $3,000 to $4,000 an acre
- Full clearing to dirt with crowns grubbed and rough grade: $2,000 to $4,500 an acre
- Skid steer mulcher $2,800 a day; 300-hp mulcher $4,200 a day plus transport
- Dozer and operator at $160 an hour, haul-off $650 to $1,200 per load, $1,100 minimum trip
Large acreage clearing is quoted per acre, depending on site access and how many crowns come out. An approved EQIP plan under practice 314 pays 50 to 75 percent of the NRCS schedule rate. Call (832) 987-3495 or send the form. Teo will call you back before the end of the business day.
