At Lonestar Land Pros, we provide complete land clearing services across the Texoma region, using the right combination of equipment and methods to match your specific project requirements and budget. From selective brush removal to full-scale timber clearing, we have the experience and equipment to get your property ready for its next purpose.
We offer multiple clearing methods to suit different project types. Forestry mulching is our most popular approach for brush and small to medium trees — it's fast, clean, and leaves a protective mulch layer on the soil. For heavier timber, larger trees, and projects requiring grade changes, we use dozer work combined with mulching. This allows us to handle everything from light underbrush on a residential lot to heavy mixed timber on a 100-acre ranch. We also provide stump removal, root raking, and debris disposal when projects demand a completely clean surface.
Navigating county and city regulations is part of the job. In unincorporated areas of Grayson, Collin, Fannin, and Cooke counties, rural agricultural clearing generally doesn't require permits. However, construction-related clearing may require building permits, and properties within city limits — particularly Sherman, Denison, and Anna — may be subject to tree preservation ordinances or grading permits. Properties near creeks, floodplains, or waterways may have additional environmental considerations. We help you understand what's required for your specific location and project before any work begins.
Stump removal is an important consideration that many property owners overlook. Forestry mulching grinds stumps to ground level, which is adequate for pastureland, trail systems, and most residential uses. For building foundations, driveways, and agricultural planting, full stump extraction — removing the root ball entirely — may be necessary. We discuss the best approach during your estimate and include all stump work in the quoted price so there are no surprises on clearing day.
Every land clearing project starts with a free on-site consultation. We walk the property with you, understand your goals, assess the vegetation and terrain, and recommend the most cost-effective clearing approach. You'll receive a detailed written estimate covering the scope of work, method, timeline, and total cost. No hidden fees, no change orders — just clear pricing for clear land.
We visit your property to evaluate vegetation type and density, terrain conditions, access points, and any regulatory requirements. You'll receive a written estimate within 24–48 hours covering scope, method, timeline, and cost.
Before equipment rolls in, we coordinate utility locates (call 811), mark property boundaries and keep-out zones, arrange any needed permits, and plan equipment access to minimize impact on surrounding areas.
Using the agreed-upon method — mulching, dozing, or a combination — we systematically clear the designated area. We work with care around property boundaries, preserved trees, and structures. Debris is processed according to the plan.
Stumps are ground or extracted as specified. Any remaining debris is processed, piled for burning, or hauled off. The site is left clean and ready for your next phase — whether that's building, fencing, seeding, or grading.
We walk the cleared property with you to verify everything meets the scope and your expectations. We address any touch-ups on the spot and ensure you're completely satisfied before we close out the job.
We match the clearing method to your project — mulching for eco-friendly brush removal, dozing for heavy timber, or a combination for the best of both worlds.
From surface grinding to full root extraction, we handle stumps as part of the clearing process — no need to hire a separate stump grinding company.
We help navigate county permits, city tree ordinances, and environmental requirements across Grayson, Collin, Fannin, and Cooke counties.
Clearing, stumps, debris, and site prep under one contract. No coordinating between three different companies — we handle the entire scope.
Our mulching-first approach preserves your topsoil wherever possible, protecting soil health and reducing erosion for future agricultural or landscaping use.
Detailed written estimates with no hidden fees. The price we quote is the price you pay — including stump work, debris handling, and cleanup.
Best for: Brush, small-medium trees, pasture reclamation, fence lines. Preserves topsoil, leaves mulch ground cover, no hauling needed. Most cost-effective for moderate vegetation.
Best for: Heavy timber, large trees, rocky ground, building pad prep. Can reshape terrain and remove root systems. Requires debris burning or hauling. Best for construction sites.
Best for: Mixed vegetation properties. Mulch the brush and small trees first, then doze the heavy timber. Combines the efficiency of mulching with the power of heavy equipment.
"We bought 40 acres outside Gunter that hadn't been touched in 20 years. Lonestar cleared the entire property — mulched the brush, dozed the big timber, ground the stumps. Took about a week and it looks like a different piece of land. Ready for our fencing now."
"Needed a building site cleared for our new home in Denison. They handled the trees, stumps, and left us a clean pad ready for the builder. Ty was upfront about pricing and the crew was professional start to finish."
Land clearing in the Texoma region typically costs between $1,500 and $5,000 per acre depending on the clearing method, vegetation density, terrain, and whether stump removal is included. Light brush clearing with forestry mulching is on the lower end, while heavy timber removal with dozer work and stump grinding runs higher. We provide free on-site estimates so you get accurate pricing for your specific property.
A typical residential lot of 1–2 acres can be cleared in 1–2 days. Larger parcels of 10–20 acres generally take 1–2 weeks depending on the method used and vegetation density. Heavy timber with stump removal takes longer than forestry mulching alone. We provide detailed timeline estimates with every quote so you can plan your construction or development schedule accordingly.
In most cases, clearing rural agricultural land in Grayson County does not require a specific clearing permit. However, if you're clearing for new construction, building permits may be required through the county or relevant city. Properties within city limits may have tree preservation ordinances. Properties near waterways or in floodplains may have additional restrictions. We help navigate these requirements during the estimate process.
With forestry mulching, all vegetation is ground into mulch on-site — nothing to haul away. With traditional dozer clearing, debris can be piled for burning (when conditions and permits allow), hauled to a disposal site, or chipped on-site. We discuss debris disposal options during the estimate so there are no surprises. Many of our clients prefer mulching specifically because it eliminates the debris disposal issue entirely.
Forestry mulching is ideal for most jobs — it's faster, preserves topsoil, and eliminates debris hauling. Bulldozing is necessary for very large trees, rocky terrain, grade changes, or when you need full stump and root extraction. Many projects benefit from a combination approach: mulch the brush first, then doze the heavy timber. We'll recommend the most cost-effective approach during your free consultation.
Yes — we offer complete stump removal as part of our land clearing packages. Forestry mulching grinds stumps to ground level or just below, which works well for pastureland and general use. For building foundations, driveways, and agricultural planting, we can fully extract stumps and root systems using excavation equipment. All stump work is quoted upfront so there are no surprise costs.
