Traditional Land Clearing in Georgetown, Texas

Our 5-acre Georgetown job took two days with our CAT 299, pulling small cedar one at a time from under and around the oaks the owner wanted to keep. Your timeline depends on how thick the cedar is, how many trees you're saving, and the ground. We'll give you a number at the free site visit.

Yes. Saving the oaks was the whole goal of our 5-acre Georgetown job. We pulled the cedar out from under and around them and left the oaks standing.

Texas A&M Forest Service advises against pruning or wounding oaks from February through June, when the beetles that spread oak wilt are most active, and recommends painting any fresh oak wound right away, any time of year. It lists land and cedar clearing as one source of those wounds.

Often, yes. Inside Georgetown city limits and its ETJ, removing or pruning a Heritage Tree or Protected Tree requires a city permit. Heritage Trees are 26 inches or larger in diameter at breast height and of listed species such as live oak, post oak, cedar elm, pecan and southern magnolia. Heritage tree work also needs Planning & Zoning approval and a Texas-registered arborist. Our 5-acre Georgetown cedar job was outside city limits, so it didn't need a city tree permit. Ask the city's Urban Forester at trees@georgetowntexas.gov before you clear.

Traditional land clearing is the better choice when your property requires complete site preparation for new construction, commercial development, pasture conversion, utility installation, or building pads. Forestry mulching is ideal for selective vegetation management, while traditional land clearing completely removes obstacles from the site.
