Bastrop County, TexasProperty in the Lost Pines along the Colorado tends to hide good ground under twenty years of brush. Forestry mulching opens it back up without touching the mature trees you actually want.
Heads up on distance: Bastrop is about 160 miles from the machine. We do run this far, but it works best on larger acreage or when we can group it with other work in the area. Send the acreage and we will tell you honestly whether the trip pencils.
Most of our Bastrop work is on post-fire regrowth and wooded homesites. Whether it is a homesite, a hunting tract or pasture you want back, the approach is the same: grind what is standing, leave what you want, and put a mulch layer down instead of bare dirt.
Around Bastrop most of what we take out is yaupon, post oak scrub and cedar. Post oak country regrows more slowly than the deep pine belt, and a mulched tract commonly stays open three to five years.
Post oak is slow to replace itself, so selective mulching lets you keep the mature trees for shade and wildlife while clearing everything under them.
Thick brush and small trees ground down in place. Sight lines back, walkable ground back, no debris pile left behind.
Pad, driveway and septic area cleared for a build while the trees worth keeping stay standing.
A clean lane down the fence row across Bastrop County so you can see your wire and keep brush off it.
Take grazing and hay ground back from the brush line that has been creeping in a few feet a year.
Lease roads, ranch trails and walking paths cut wide enough for a truck and trailer to use.
Shooting lanes, browse at deer height and sunlight to the ground for food plots on Bastrop County tracts.
Density drives the price more than acreage. Here is the range we work from around Bastrop.

Call or fill out the form with the location and rough acreage. A dropped pin or an address is enough for us to pull it up on satellite before we drive out.
Density drives cost more than acreage does. We look at stem size, how thick the understory is, slope, and how a trailer gets in. Then you get a firm number.
The mulching head grinds standing brush and small trees where they stand. No burn piles, no dump trailers, no gate ruts from hauling debris out.
You look it over while the machine is still on site. If a spot needs another pass, we make it then and there.
Most Bastrop County acreage prices between $1,200 and $3,500 an acre depending on how heavy the growth is. We look at stem size and how thick the understory runs before putting a number on it.
Mostly yaupon, post oak scrub and cedar. Post oak country regrows more slowly than the deep pine belt, and a mulched tract commonly stays open three to five years.
Yes. Bastrop runs about 160 miles from our base in Richland. That is a real haul for a trailer, so we take Bastrop County work on larger tracts, or we group it with other jobs in the area to keep the trip from landing on one customer. Call and tell us the acreage and we will tell you straight whether it makes sense.
That is the normal request and the machine handles it well. The operator picks what stays as he works, so you keep your shade and your mature timber and lose the scrub.
No. Everything gets ground into a mulch layer that stays on the ground. That means no burn ban delays and no dump fees on your bill.
Tell us where the property sits in Bastrop County and roughly how much needs clearing. We will come look at it and give you a real number.
