Expert Land Services for Smith, TX and the Surrounding Areas
I don’t just move dirt—I offer full consulting and development support from start to finish. I work with clients even before they purchase land, helping them evaluate which property is the best fit and estimating what it might cost to improve or develop it. Once the property is purchased, I handle everything from raw, untouched land to a fully prepped site—ready for a home, lake, ranch, or any other vision they have.
I also work with sellers who want to increase property value. I clean up and stage land to make it more marketable and help it sell faster. Whether it’s a custom home site, a lake, RV park, tiny home development, or resort-style project, I provide the guidance and the groundwork to bring it to life. When people call me, they’re not just hiring someone to clear land—they’re getting a partner in the entire process.

Frequently Asked Questions
Land clearing and forestry mulching are two different methods used to clear land for various purposes. Land clearing involves the removal of all vegetation and debris from a piece of land, leaving it completely bare. This method is often used for construction or agricultural purposes. On the other hand, forestry mulching is a more environmentally friendly method that uses specialized equipment to grind trees and vegetation into mulch. This mulch can then be left on the ground as a natural fertilizer, helping to preserve the soil and reduce erosion. Unlike land clearing, which can be destructive to the environment, forestry mulching allows for sustainable land use and promotes healthy ecosystems.
1. Improved Soil Quality: Forestry mulching breaks down woody debris and other organic matter, contributing to the nutrient-rich soil that is beneficial for plant growth.
2. Weed Control: Mulch acts as a natural weed barrier, preventing weed seeds from receiving sunlight and germinating.
3. Erosion Prevention: The layer of mulch helps to hold moisture in the soil, reducing erosion caused by wind or rain.
4. Cost-Effective: Forestry mulching eliminates the need for costly equipment and labor-intensive processes like traditional land clearing methods.
5. Environmentally Friendly: Unlike burning or chemical treatments, forestry mulching is a sustainable and environmentally friendly way to clear land.
6. Wildlife Habitat Preservation: Forestry mulching leaves behind smaller branches and logs, creating a habitat for small animals such as insects, birds, and reptiles.
7. Faster Land Clearing Process: With forestry mulching equipment, large areas can be cleared quickly and efficiently compared to other methods.
8. Reduced Fire Risk: By removing dead vegetation that can act as fuel for wildfires, forestry mulching can help reduce the risk of fire on your property.
9. Versatile Application: Forestry mulching can be used for various purposes such as land development, trail creation, right-of-way clearing, storm damage restoration, and more.
10. Aesthetically Appealing: The natural look of forestry mulch adds visual appeal to any property while still maintaining its functionality.
