Reclaim Your Pasture — Eliminate Invasive Species
BRUSH & CEDAR REMOVAL
Cedar and mesquite invasion costs Texas landowners millions in lost grazing capacity and water resources every year. We eliminate invasive brush efficiently and permanently, restoring your land to productive pasture.
Cedar invasion is one of the most serious land management challenges facing Texas ranchers. A single mature cedar tree consumes 30+ gallons of water per day — water that should be feeding your native grasses, filling your stock tanks, and supporting your livestock. Across a heavily invaded pasture, this translates to dramatically reduced carrying capacity and land value.
Our brush and cedar removal service uses our forestry mulching equipment to eliminate cedar, mesquite, and other invasive species efficiently and permanently. Unlike mechanical grubbing or chemical treatments, mulching kills cedar at the root — it will not resprout. The result is a clean, mulched ground surface that suppresses regrowth and allows native grasses to re-establish.
Many of our clients see their property transform from overgrown, unproductive brush to open, productive pasture in a single day. Restored native grass pastures improve water retention, increase livestock carrying capacity, improve wildlife habitat, and dramatically increase property value — making brush removal one of the highest-return land investments available to Texas ranchers.

Why Choose This Service
KEY BENEFITS
Permanent Cedar Control
Cedar killed by mulching does not resprout from the root system — unlike many other brush species. This makes mulching one of the most permanent cedar control methods available.
Restored Native Pasture
Eliminating cedar and mesquite allows native grasses to re-establish, restoring productive grazing land and improving the overall health of your pasture ecosystem.
Increased Water Retention
Studies show cedar removal can increase water yield by 10–30% on treated properties. More water means fuller stock tanks, better grass growth, and improved drought resilience.
Higher Livestock Capacity
Restored pastures support significantly more livestock per acre. Many ranchers see carrying capacity double or triple after aggressive cedar removal.
Weed & Regrowth Suppression
Selective brush removal creates the open-to-brush ratio that deer, turkey, and other wildlife prefer — improving hunting lease value and wildlife populations.
Increased Property Value
Productive, well-maintained pasture land commands significantly higher prices than overgrown brush. Brush removal is one of the highest-return land improvements available.
Reduced Wildfire Risk
Dense cedar and dry brush create dangerous wildfire fuel loads. Removal dramatically reduces fire risk — a critical concern in Central Texas.
No Chemical Treatments
Our mechanical mulching approach eliminates invasive species without herbicides or chemicals — keeping your land clean and safe for livestock and wildlife.
Brush & Cedar Removal Questions
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Does cedar come back after mulching?
Cedar killed by mulching does not resprout from the root system — making mulching one of the most permanent cedar control methods available. Unlike mechanical grubbing, which can leave viable root material, mulching destroys the plant at ground level.
What's the best time of year for cedar removal in Texas?
Cedar can be removed year-round in Texas. Many ranchers prefer fall and winter when the ground is firmer and heat stress on equipment is lower. However, we work year-round based on your schedule and availability.
How much water does cedar removal save?
Studies show cedar removal can increase water yield by 10–30% on treated properties. A single mature cedar can consume 30+ gallons of water per day. On a heavily invaded 100-acre pasture, this can represent tens of thousands of gallons per day returned to the water table and native vegetation.
Will native grasses come back after cedar removal?
In most cases, yes — native grass seeds remain dormant in the soil and will germinate once sunlight and moisture are restored. The mulch layer from the cleared cedar also helps retain moisture for grass establishment. Results vary by soil type and seed bank, and we can discuss expectations for your specific property.
Can you selectively remove cedar while keeping other trees?
Absolutely. We can selectively target cedar and mesquite while preserving live oaks, shade trees, and other desirable vegetation. We walk the property with you before starting to identify what to keep and what to clear.
How much does brush and cedar removal cost?
Pricing depends on vegetation density, terrain, and access. Light brush typically runs $1,500–$2,500/acre; medium density $2,500–$3,500/acre; heavy cedar thickets can be $3,500+/acre. We provide free on-site estimates.
