Professional forestry mulching that grinds trees and brush into natural mulch on the spot — no hauling, no burn piles, no mess. Lonestar Land Pros serves Melissa and the entire Texoma region from our base in Sherman, TX.
Melissa sits along US-75 in Collin County and has grown significantly as the DFW metroplex pushes north. The town is surrounded by a mix of new subdivisions and rural acreage that still needs professional land work.
Properties in the Melissa area include both small residential lots on the edge of development and larger rural parcels. Landowners here often need a mix of services — clearing, grading, and fencing to prepare land for construction or improve existing properties.
Melissa's growth trajectory makes it one of the most active areas for land improvement in the region. New buyers purchasing acreage need full-service support to go from raw land to a finished, usable property.
Forestry mulching uses specialized heavy equipment with a rotary drum mulcher to grind standing trees, brush, and undergrowth into a layer of natural mulch right where it stands. Unlike traditional clearing that requires burning, hauling, or bulldozing, forestry mulching processes everything in a single pass — leaving behind a clean, level surface covered in nutrient-rich organic material.
Our equipment handles trees up to 8 inches in diameter and dense cedar thickets that would take days to clear by hand. The mulched material acts as a natural erosion barrier and decomposes over time to improve soil health. Because there's no burning involved, the work can proceed year-round regardless of burn bans — a major advantage in North Texas.
Lonestar Land Pros is based in Sherman, TX and serves Melissa and the surrounding Collin County communities. We bring the full range of our land services to every job — not just forestry mulching.
We're a turnkey land improvement company. From clearing and mulching to dirt work, fencing, ponds, and ongoing maintenance — we handle it all. One call, one company, start to finish.
Forestry mulching in the Melissa area typically ranges from $1,500 to $3,500 per acre depending on vegetation density, terrain, and accessibility. Heavy cedar or hardwood stands cost more; lighter brush on open land costs less. We provide free on-site estimates so you know exactly what to expect.
For most properties, forestry mulching is faster, cleaner, and more cost-effective than traditional clearing. It eliminates hauling and burning, preserves topsoil, and prevents erosion. Traditional clearing may still be preferred when complete stump removal or finish grading is needed — and we offer those services too.
Yes — that's one of the biggest advantages. Since no burning is involved, forestry mulching can proceed year-round regardless of burn ban status. Collin County frequently has burn bans during dry summer and winter months, which can delay traditional clearing for weeks. Mulching keeps your project on schedule.
Our equipment handles trees up to 8 inches in diameter, which covers the majority of brush and small trees found on Melissa properties — including Eastern Red Cedar, mesquite, bois d'arc, elm, and hackberry. For larger trees, we fell them first and then mulch the slash, or combine mulching with traditional land clearing.
