Clear brush, cedar, and overgrown land quickly and efficiently with professional forestry mulching for farm, ranch, and rural residential properties. Free estimates available.
Forestry mulching is a land clearing process that uses a specialized piece of equipment — a mulching head mounted on a tracked machine — to cut down and grind up trees, brush, and overgrown vegetation. Everything gets processed on-site and left behind as a layer of natural mulch. There is no burning, no hauling debris off the property, and no need to bring in a separate grinding crew.
The result is a clean, clear piece of land with a ground cover of wood chips that naturally breaks down over time, protects the soil from erosion, and retains moisture. It is one of the most environmentally low-impact ways to clear land, and on most projects it is also the most cost-efficient.
Perfect for reclaiming pasture land overrun with brush, cedar, and invasive vegetation.
Helps homeowners clear heavily wooded or overgrown lots quickly and efficiently.
Clears large areas without the damage, mess, or disruption of traditional logging or tree removal.
Works well on hilly, uneven, or hard-to-access land where other methods struggle.
Especially effective across Seguin, Hill Country, and South Texas where cedar and invasive brush are common.

Hilliland Contracting is based in Seguin, TX and takes on projects within a 50-mile radius. That covers a wide stretch of South and Central Texas — from the western edges of the Hill Country to communities east of San Antonio. If your property is within our service area, we want to hear from you.
We work directly with property owners to ensure every project gets our full attention. We also handle commercial erosion projects. You talk to us, we come out, and we get the job done.
Most forestry mulching equipment handles trees up to around 6 to 8 inches in diameter without difficulty. Larger trees can sometimes be processed, but it depends on the specific equipment being used and the species involved. When we come out for your estimate, we will look at what is on the property and let you know exactly what we can and cannot handle on your job.
Forestry mulching cuts and grinds vegetation at or near the ground surface, but it does not eliminate root systems below ground. Some aggressive brush species, particularly cedar and certain invasives common in this part of Texas, can resprout from roots over time. Many landowners schedule follow-up clearing or apply targeted herbicide treatments after mulching to manage regrowth. We can talk through realistic expectations for your specific property when we come out.
It depends on the size of the area, the density of the vegetation, and the terrain. After we walk your property, we can give you a realistic timeline before any work begins.
You do not need to be present the entire time, but it is helpful to walk the property with us before we start so we are clear on what to clear and what to leave. After that, most clients check in at the start and end of the job. We will communicate with you if anything unexpected comes up.
Traditional land clearing often involves cutting trees, piling them, burning, or hauling them off. Forestry mulching processes everything on-site in a single pass, which cuts down on labor, eliminates hauling costs, and causes less soil disturbance. It is not always the right choice for every situation — some projects call for a different approach — but for most overgrown pasture and brush clearing work, mulching is more efficient and less disruptive.
Tracked forestry mulching equipment handles uneven terrain well, including the rocky, hilly ground common in parts of Guadalupe County and the Hill Country. There are limits — extremely steep slopes or areas with very large exposed rock formations can affect what is possible. We will assess the terrain when we come out for your estimate.
