What land clearing costs comes down to
Clearing is priced by acre, but the acre is the least useful number. What actually drives the cost is stem density (scattered mesquite versus solid cedar), terrain and slope, how much material has to leave the property rather than be mulched in place, and whether you need the root mat out or just the top growth off.

FAQ
Land Clearing in Mertens — questions we get asked
How much does land clearing cost per acre near Mertens?
For light underbrush and scattered trees, budget roughly $1,500–$3,000 per acre mulched in place. Dense cedar or heavy timber with haul-off runs $4,000–$6,000+ per acre. Steep, wet or hard-to-access ground pushes it higher. We quote per job after walking it, because per-acre averages are close to meaningless until someone has seen the stems.
Do I need a permit to clear land in Hill County?
Outside city limits in Hill County, clearing your own agricultural or residential acreage generally does not require a permit, though burn bans and county burn permits apply to disposal. Inside city limits, or on platted land, tree ordinances and land-disturbance rules often do apply. We check before we start.

Usually. Most residential work happens on weekdays during business hours, but we can often arrange early starts or a specific day if access, pets or gates require it. Commercial properties routinely get after-hours or weekend scheduling.
