Land Clearing Services in Waxahachie
Our land clearing service in Waxahachie covers six jobs and nothing fancier. Pruitt Range & Brush provides land clearing, lot clearing, brush removal, stump grinding, bush hogging and rough grading, with insured crews. Residential land clearing means professional clearing of the half-acre homesite and the 10-acre pasture. Commercial land clearing services cover pad sites, pipeline easements and commercial properties in Waxahachie along US 287. The same machine works residential and commercial properties; commercial sites just take more days. Commercial clearing is priced by the acre like everything else. Property clearing for a pasture lease is land improvement you can see from the road. Every project starts with an 811 locate for buried lines. We do not pour concrete, drill wells, set septic or demolish houses. I know people who do. Tell Teo which of the six you need.
Site Prep for New Homes in Waxahachie and Midlothian
Waxahachie pulled 900 single-family permits in the 2025 Census Building Permits Survey, and Ellis County 3,230, up 13 percent. A half-acre lot with hackberry and a few mesquite is one day with the skid steer, $2,800, mulched in place. Full site clearing to dirt for a slab, with grubbing, haul-off and rough grading, runs $2,000 to $4,500 an acre by density. Site work on blackland has a season: wet blackland adds a day from November to April, and that goes on the quote before the price. Drainage on black clay is the first thing I look at: a lot that holds water in March holds it under the slab too. Site preparation for commercial development along I-35E follows the same math with more acres. Midlothian and Waxahachie both have tree ordinances inside city limits, so I check protected trees before the head drops. Send Teo your survey and the builder's pad location.
Brush Clearing and Forestry Mulching Near Waxahachie
Forestry mulching is a land clearing method that uses specialized equipment to grind trees, brush and vegetation into mulch where they stand. No piles, no burn, no haul-off trip. That matters here because the county judge or commissioners court can declare a burn ban any dry month, and TCEQ outdoor burning rules govern every pile even without one. Mesquite will overgrow a pasture in a decade. The skid steer takes stems to 8 inches at 1 to 3 acres a day. Selective clearing keeps the post oak and hackberry shade you want and takes the rest. Mesquite is the catch: the root crown lives below grade, so a bush hog alone just prunes it. We remove brush to the ground, then you bush hog each June and spray what sprouts. Overgrown land on a creek bottom gets mulched 2 to 4 inches deep, which holds soil and seed. We leave the site walkable the same afternoon.
How Much Does Land Clearing Cost in Waxahachie?
Land clearing costs in Waxahachie run $900 to $4,500 an acre depending on site conditions. Extra-day rules first: rock adds a day, wet blackland adds a day from November to April. Then the rates:
- Skid steer mulcher: $2,800 a day. Transport is free within 60 miles of our Weatherford yard; Waxahachie sits past that ring, so transport is a line on the quote.
- 300-hp mulcher, 8 ft head: $4,200 a day plus transport, for large acreage clearing.
- Light brush under 30 percent canopy: $900 to $1,400 an acre. Medium: $1,800 to $2,600. Areas with dense old-growth mesquite or cedar, which is ashe juniper: $3,000 to $4,000.
- Clearing to dirt: $2,000 to $4,500 an acre, excavation of roots and rough grading included.
- Stumps: $4 an inch of diameter, $175 minimum per stump, under stump grinding; ten or more and we grind by the day.
- Bush hogging: $60 to $90 an acre, $400 minimum. Dozer grubbing: $160 an hour. Haul-off: $650 to $1,200 a load, $1,100 minimum trip.
An approved EQIP brush management plan, practice code 314, pays 50 to 75 percent of the NRCS schedule rate. I wrote those plans for twelve years and can tell you what yours pays. A site visit is free within 60 miles of a yard; beyond that I quote from your form and make it final when I walk the property. Call (832) 987-3495 for a written number.
