Cedar, mesquite, and heavy brush have taken over millions of acres of Central Texas range over the past several decades. What used to be open pasture is now choked with juniper thickets, scrub oak, and invasive brush that crowds out grass, drains water tables, and reduces the productive value of land that should be working harder.
TX Dirt Co clears that land. We run dozers, excavators, and forestry equipment to handle everything from a small residential lot to hundreds of acres of overgrown ranch pasture. Whether you're reclaiming agricultural ground, prepping a tract for development, or clearing a wooded lot before construction, we have the equipment and the experience to get it done right.
Cedar (Ashe juniper) is the defining land management challenge across Stephenville and the surrounding region. It spreads aggressively, roots deep, and a single mature cedar can consume 30+ gallons of water per day from the water table. TX Dirt Co clears cedar using bulldozers with root rakes and excavators — we cut and root the trees rather than just topping them, so regrowth is significantly reduced. After clearing, we windrow the material for burning or haul it off depending on your plan for the property.
Dense brush, briars, thorny mesquite, and invasive scrub can make land nearly unusable for grazing or development. TX Dirt Co removes underbrush and thick brush from pastures, fence lines, creek banks, and lot interiors. We can clear selectively — removing the invasive species while leaving desirable hardwoods — or clear everything to bare ground depending on the project.
Reclaiming an overgrown pasture back to productive grazing ground requires more than just cutting brush. TX Dirt Co addresses the full scope: clearing the trees and brush, root-raking to pull stumps and debris, rough grading to level rough spots, and final cleanup to prepare the surface for re-seeding. The result is open, drainable, grazeable land that hasn't been accessible in years.
Before a home, shop, or commercial building goes up, the lot has to be cleared, grubbed, and prepared. TX Dirt Co clears residential and commercial lots — removing all trees, stumps, and vegetation — and leaves the site ready for grading and construction. We can coordinate directly with your builder on scope and timing.
Large tree removal and stump grubbing is part of our land clearing work. We use excavators to pull stumps with full root systems, which eliminates regrowth and leaves a cleaner surface than grinding alone. Debris is windrowed and either burned, chipped on-site, or hauled off.
We root cedar and stumps out rather than just topping them — which means less regrowth, cleaner land, and a property that stays clear longer.

Land clearing refers specifically to removing trees, brush, cedar, and vegetation from a property. Land development is the broader process of making raw land usable — which often starts with clearing but also includes grading, drainage, road building, and pad construction. TX Dirt Co handles both.
We handle brush clearing, cedar removal, and land clearing using dozers and excavators with root rakes. For specific forestry mulching equipment inquiries, call us at (254) 595-0170 and we'll discuss the best approach for your property.
We windrow the material — consolidating it into long piles — which can then be burned by the landowner (check local burn rules), chipped on-site, or hauled off. We discuss the disposal plan with you before work starts.
Yes. We do selective clearing where you want to preserve desirable hardwoods like live oak or pecan while removing invasive cedar, mesquite, and brush. We'll walk the property with you to mark what stays before we start.
A residential lot can typically be cleared in a day. A 20–50 acre pasture reclamation usually takes 2–5 days depending on density. Large ranch clearing jobs are quoted with a detailed timeline. We give you a realistic schedule upfront.
