Land Clearing

Clearing brush, mesquite, and cedar to open up land that's worth using.

Mesquite and cedar don't just look bad — they choke out grazing land, hog groundwater, and make a property harder to use and harder to sell. Rangefinder Excavation clears land across West Texas and the Permian Basin, opening up acreage for grazing, building sites, or general access.

We size the approach to the job: selective clearing to preserve good cover in some areas, full clearing and mulching where you need a clean slate. Either way, we clear it so it stays cleared, not just knocked over to grow back thicker.

Our Process

Walk and mark the scope

We walk the property with you and mark exactly what comes out, what stays, and how aggressive the clearing needs to be for your goals.

Clear and push

Brush and trees are cleared and pushed using dozers and skid steers sized to the density of growth on your property.

Mulch or pile debris

Depending on your preference and local burn regulations, debris is mulched in place or piled for burning or hauling.

Root rake and finish grade

We root rake the cleared area to remove remaining stumps and roots, then finish grade so the land is ready for grazing, seeding, or the next phase of work.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the mesquite just grow back after clearing?

Mesquite can resprout if roots are left behind, which is why we root rake cleared areas rather than just pushing brush over. It's not a permanent guarantee against regrowth, but it dramatically slows it down compared to a surface clear.

Can you clear land without removing every tree?

Yes — selective clearing is common, especially around building sites, fence lines, or where you want to keep some cover for cattle or wildlife. We mark the scope with you before we start.

What do you do with the cleared brush and trees?

Depending on the site and local regulations, we mulch material in place, pile it for burning, or haul it off. We'll go over the options and any cost differences before the job starts.
