Cass County, TexasIf your place in the iron-ore hills of Cass County has gotten away from you, mulching is the fastest way to get it back. One machine takes the understory out in a single pass and leaves a mulch layer instead of scraped dirt.
The typical Cass County job is on hunting tracts and wooded acreage. 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.
In Hughes Springs the usual culprits are yaupon, privet and sweetgum. Warm, wet East Texas summers push understory back fast, so a mulched tract here holds a clean look for roughly two to four years before it needs a maintenance pass.
Mulching works especially well in pine country because the machine can take out understory brush without touching the merchantable timber you want to keep.
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 Cass 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 Cass County tracts.

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 Cass 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, privet and sweetgum. Warm, wet East Texas summers push understory back fast, so a mulched tract here holds a clean look for roughly two to four years before it needs a maintenance pass.
Yes. Hughes Springs is about 145 miles from our base in Richland, and Cass County is inside our regular service range. On smaller jobs we try to pair nearby properties in the same week so the trailer trip is not carried by one customer.
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.
