Clear overgrown land, prepare build sites, and reclaim usable acreage with professional land clearing for farm, ranch, and residential properties. Free estimates available.
Land clearing is the process of removing trees, brush, stumps, debris, and other vegetation from a piece of property to prepare it for its intended use. The specifics of how that work gets done depend on what is on the land, how large the area is, what the end goal looks like, and what equipment is most appropriate for the terrain.
Hilliland Contracting handles land clearing projects for residential property owners, farmers, and ranchers across the Seguin area. Whether you are trying to open up an overgrown pasture, prepare a site for a new structure, or simply reclaim land that has been let go for years, we can assess the property and put together a plan that gets you to where you need to be.
Property owners who have purchased land left idle for years often need overgrown areas cleared and restored.
Farmers call to push back tree lines and reclaim pasture space for grazing or crop use.
Rural homeowners need land cleared to make way for workshops, barns, or other structures.
Ranches and rural properties often struggle with cedar and invasive plants crowding out native grasses.
Any other unique clearing needs — we assess your property and provide honest guidance on what’s feasible.
We offer free estimates on every job. There is no pressure and no guesswork — just an honest look at what your project requires and what it will take to get it done.

We visit your property to understand what needs clearing, what should stay, and the overall condition of the land.
We evaluate the terrain, vegetation density, and your goals to determine the right equipment and method for the job.
Using forestry mulching or other tools as appropriate, we clear the land efficiently while protecting areas that need to remain intact.
The land is left in the condition discussed during the estimate — no surprises, no scope creep, and no debris left behind.
We take on land clearing projects throughout Guadalupe County and the surrounding region — including Seguin, New Braunfels, San Marcos, Luling, Gonzales, Lockhart, Kyle, Cibolo, Schertz, and the ranch land stretching toward Cuero and Yoakum. We work along the Guadalupe River corridor, in the cedar-heavy Hill Country terrain near Wimberley and Blanco, and throughout the sandy loam country east of I-35 where brush and invasive species take hold quickly.
Whether you have a 5-acre residential lot near Seguin’s city limits or a 500-acre ranch in the back country toward Gonzales, we come out, walk the property, and give you a straight answer on what it will take to get the job done.
Land clearing is rarely the only thing a property needs. Once the trees, brush, and overgrowth are gone, the next steps depend on what you are building toward — and we can often handle more of the project than just the clearing itself.
For many clients across the Seguin area, the most practical clearing method is forestry mulching. Our Forestry Mulching service uses a tracked mulcher to cut and grind everything on-site in a single pass — no burn piles, no hauling, and no separate stump grinding crew. It is the right choice for the majority of brush and cedar clearing jobs in this part of Texas, and we discuss it as part of every land clearing estimate.
After the land is clear, a reliable driveway or access route is often the next priority — especially on rural lots outside Seguin or on ranch property where there is no existing road in. Our Durable Rural Driveways & Culverts service handles the full process of cutting in a new road, grading the surface, and installing properly sized culverts at drainage crossings so the driveway holds up when the storms come.
Disturbed land is vulnerable to erosion, particularly on slopes or in low areas that collect runoff — a common situation across the Hill Country edges near Fischer, Canyon Lake, and Wimberley. If erosion is a concern on your property, our Erosion Control service addresses the root cause rather than just the symptoms, and it is worth planning for before the clearing is done rather than after.
If the clearing reveals old structures that need to come down — a collapsing barn, a concrete slab, remnant fencing — our Demolition service handles that removal so you are not left coordinating a separate crew for debris that surfaced during the project.
Land clearing costs vary considerably based on the size of the area, how dense the vegetation is, the terrain, what equipment is needed, and what you want done with the material afterward. We provide free estimates — come out, walk the property with us, and you will get a clear number before we start.
That is exactly what the estimate visit is for. Forestry mulching is the most efficient option for a lot of clearing jobs in this area, but depending on the size of the trees, the terrain, and your goals for the land, a different approach might make more sense. We will look at your property and give you a recommendation based on what we see, not a one-size-fits-all answer.
Yes, though terrain factors affect how the job is done and how long it takes. Tracked equipment handles slopes and uneven ground better than wheeled equipment, and we have experience working on the kind of rocky, variable terrain that is common throughout this part of Texas. If a slope or rock condition is a limiting factor, we will tell you upfront.
When we use forestry mulching, vegetation is ground into mulch and left on-site — no hauling required, and the mulch layer is actually good for the soil. For other clearing methods, we discuss debris handling during the estimate. The approach depends on the volume of material and what you want done with it.
Project duration depends on the acreage, vegetation density, and method used. Small jobs can be completed in a day. Larger or more complex projects take longer. After we walk the property, we will give you a realistic timeline before we schedule anything.
Permitting requirements depend on factors like whether protected species are present, whether you are near a waterway, and local ordinances. We recommend checking with your county and any applicable state or federal agencies before starting significant clearing work. We do not handle permitting, but we can let you know if there are things to be aware of based on what we see during the estimate.
