The Short Answer

Around Schertz, forestry mulching typically runs about $1,500 to $3,000 per acre for light-to-medium brush, with heavier growth costing more. Density is the biggest factor: light brush is at the low end, thick cedar and heavy woods with large trees at the high end. Small residential lots may be priced as a flat half-day or day rate rather than by the acre. The single best way to get an accurate price is a free on-site look — but here's exactly how it breaks down.

Forestry Mulching Cost by Density

Most of our clearing is forestry mulching, priced per acre by how thick the vegetation is:

What Drives the Price

Why Mulching Usually Costs Less Than the Old Way

Traditional clear-and-haul — dozer, root rake, pile, then burn or truck it off — commonly runs 20–40% more than forestry mulching for comparable brush, because it's multiple pieces of equipment, more labor, and disposal costs. Mulching is one machine, one pass, no disposal. Where mulching isn't the right tool — big trees, a scraped building pad — we'll tell you, and quote that work honestly.

Land Clearing Cost Questions

How much does it cost to clear one acre near Schertz?

For forestry mulching, roughly $1,500–$2,500 an acre for light brush, $2,500–$4,000 for medium growth, and $4,000–$6,000 for heavy brush; dense woods with large trees can run $6,000–$10,000+ per acre. Density, acreage, tree size, terrain and access set where you land.

How much to clear 2 or 5 acres?

Multiply the per-acre range by acreage, then expect a somewhat better per-acre rate as the job gets bigger, since mobilizing the machine is a fixed cost spread over more ground. Five acres of light brush might run in the $7,500–$12,000 range; heavy growth costs more. We'll quote yours exactly after a look.

Why won't you give a price over the phone?

Because land clearing price depends on things we have to see — how thick the growth really is, tree sizes, terrain and access. A phone quote would either be padded to be safe or too low to honor. A free on-site look, usually same or next day, gets you a firm number.

Is forestry mulching cheaper than a dozer and burning?

For most brush and small-to-mid trees, yes — commonly 20–40% less, because it's one machine and one pass with no piling, burning or hauling. For very large trees or a clean building pad, dozer/grubbing work has its place and we'll quote it straight.

Do you charge to come give an estimate?

No. On-site estimates are free and no-obligation. We'd rather show up, look at your land, and earn the job with an honest number than quote you blind.
