Land Clearing FAQs
What’s the difference between land clearing and simple brush hogging?
Brush hogging typically cuts down surface-level vegetation like tall grass and light brush, often leaving stumps and roots in place. Land clearing goes further—removing trees, heavy brush, stumps, and debris, and often includes grading so the ground is ready for construction, fencing, or other improvements.
How long does a typical land clearing project take?
Project timelines vary based on acreage, terrain, tree density, and the scope of work. Smaller residential lots may be completed in a day or two, while larger properties or multi-phase projects can take several days. After a quick walkthrough or site review, we’ll provide a clear time estimate along with your quote.
Do I need permits before you start land clearing?
Permit requirements depend on your location, project type, and any local regulations or HOA guidelines. In many rural areas, permits may be minimal or not required, while within city limits there may be additional steps. We’re happy to discuss what’s typical in the Gatesville and Central Texas area and help you understand what you may need before we begin.
How much does land clearing cost?
Cost is based on factors like acreage, tree size and density, slope, access, and whether you want debris hauled offsite, mulched, or staged. We provide customized quotes after reviewing your property and listening to your goals so there are no surprises. The best way to get accurate pricing is to request a free estimate.
