Heads up on distance: Tenaha is about 150 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 Tenaha work is on timber tracts, hunting leases and small acreage off the county roads. 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 Tenaha most of what we take out is yaupon, Chinese 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 Shelby 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 Shelby County tracts.

Density drives the price more than acreage. Here is the range we work from around Tenaha.
| Density | What it looks like | Per acre |

| Light | Scattered brush over grass | $1,800 |

| Heavy | Solid yaupon, stems 4"+ | $2,800 – $3,400 |
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.
Light brush in Shelby County is $1,800 an acre, moderate $2,200 to $2,600, heavy $2,800 to $3,400. $1,800 is the minimum on any job and it buys a full day on your place.
Mostly yaupon, Chinese 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. Tenaha runs about 150 miles from our base in Richland. That is a real haul for a trailer, so we take Shelby 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.
