$1,500 – $4,500
per acre
Pricing depends on cedar density, tree size, and whether removal is selective or complete.
Get a Free EstimateTexas cedar (Ashe juniper) is one of the most aggressive invasive species on Central Texas land — a single mature tree can pull up to 30 gallons of groundwater a day, choking out native grasses and starving desirable hardwoods. Cedar removal restores that balance, opening up pasture, improving water availability, and cutting wildfire risk in one project.
Why Cedar Is a Problem
Left unmanaged, cedar spreads fast, forms dense thickets, and outcompetes native grasses for water and sunlight. It also produces heavy pollen, contributing to seasonal allergy issues across the Hill Country, and creates a serious wildfire hazard due to its high resin content and habit of holding dead, dry growth.
Removing cedar isn't just cosmetic — it's one of the highest-impact things a landowner can do for long-term pasture health and water availability on their property.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes — we selectively target cedar and work carefully around live oaks and other desirable hardwoods.
Mulching is faster and cheaper for brush-sized cedar; larger, established stands sometimes call for traditional removal depending on density and goals.
Significantly. Cedar's resin and dead growth make it one of the most combustible plants on Texas land, so removing it reduces fuel loads considerably.
Cedar spreads aggressively, consumes large amounts of groundwater, and crowds out native grasses and hardwoods that support healthier land.
Regrowth is possible from seed or remaining roots, so periodic maintenance is often part of a long-term management plan.

“We really appreciate the work Logan and his team did for us at the Uhland Fall Fest. They truly helped us curate a raw, unusable piece of land that was full of cedar trees and barbed mesquite into a beautiful, picturesque parkland for families to enjoy. I highly recommend these guys. Happy to discuss my experience by phone. First-class operation!”
