One Metro, Two Kinds of Ground, and a Tree That Keeps Moving

Central Oklahoma is not a single landscape. Run west from the river through Yukon, Mustang, El Reno and Chickasha and you are on open red prairie broken by shelterbelts and creek timber. Run east and north through Choctaw, Harrah, Luther and up past Guthrie and the oak and cedar mix thickens until a quarter section can hide a house. The Oklahoma Conservation Commission counts prairie, shrubland and cross timbers forest together when it measures how much of the state has been taken over by eastern redcedar, which is a fair description of how the ground actually behaves here: the vegetation line moves, and it has been moving one direction for fifty years.

That is why an Oklahoma quote written off an aerial photograph is usually wrong, and why stem size matters more here than acreage. Every band we quote is on the Oklahoma City pricing guide, the whole job list is on the Oklahoma City services page, the statewide picture is in our Oklahoma land clearing cost per acre guide, and the mulching figure is broken out in the Oklahoma City forestry mulching cost guide.

Three Things That Decide a Central Oklahoma Job

The city permits disturbance under an acre, not only at an acre. Oklahoma City's Storm Water Quality Division, inside the Department of Public Works, issues the Land Disturbing Activity Permit, and its published submittal requirements sort work by priority. A Priority I project is one disturbing one acre or more, or a smaller site that belongs to a larger plan of development which will disturb an acre or more; it files the state OKR10 notice of intent and a stormwater pollution prevention plan. Priority II and Priority III cover projects disturbing less than one acre, or a commercial or residential demolition under an acre, and they still file an under-an-acre notice of intent, a construction plan written for sites below an acre, and a site map showing the project boundaries with the erosion and sediment controls marked on it. Development within 200 feet of the external boundaries of a floodplain triggers a Floodplain Activity Permit on top. Requirements vary by parcel, scope and jurisdiction, and the governing authority makes the determination. The full sequence, including the state layer, is in our Oklahoma City permit guide.

Eastern redcedar is not ordinary brush, and it does not wait for you. The Oklahoma Conservation Commission reports federal estimates that eight million of the state's seventeen million acres of prairie, shrubland and forest carry at least fifty redcedars per acre, a 400 percent rise in infested acres over fifty years, with the tree gaining ground at a rate of 762 acres a day. Its own inventory mapped Oklahoma, Canadian and Logan counties by canopy band. Two things follow for a landowner. Cedar is a fire problem, because its limbs grow close to the ground and its foliage holds a high content of volatile oils, so a grass fire can climb one tree and use it as a ladder into the crowns of others. And cedar returns: hundreds of new seedlings can come up in a single year, and a tree puts on roughly a foot of height and a foot of width annually, which is why the cheapest cedar you will ever deal with is the cedar you deal with early. Our guide to clearing eastern redcedar around Oklahoma City covers the method and the follow-up honestly.

Red clay that cracks open in August sheds water in May. Much of this market sits on Renfrow soils, which the USDA describes as weathered from clayey shale of Permian age in the Central Rolling Red Prairies. The series carries 35 to 55 percent clay, cracks five millimeters or more wide within 125 centimeters of the surface, shows slickensides, and has a linear extensibility of 6.0 centimeters or more in the upper meter. Runoff is rated high on slopes of 0 to 1 percent and very high from 1 to 5 percent. Read that together and you get the local working rule: ground that looks level still moves water quickly, the same clay opens up in a dry summer and goes greasy after a storm, and leaving a large surface bare on it is a decision with a cost attached. It is the plainest argument there is for grinding material in place and leaving the mat rather than stripping a tract to dirt.

Oklahoma City Land Clearing FAQ

Often yes, and the surprise is that the city has a track for work under an acre as well as over it. The Storm Water Quality Division inside the Department of Public Works issues the Land Disturbing Activity Permit. Its submittal requirements call a project that disturbs one acre or more a Priority I project, which files the state OKR10 notice of intent and a stormwater pollution prevention plan. Priority II and Priority III cover projects disturbing less than one acre, and those still file an under-an-acre notice of intent, a construction plan for sites below an acre, and a site map marking the project boundaries and the erosion and sediment controls. Development within 200 feet of the external boundaries of a floodplain needs a separate Floodplain Activity Permit. Requirements vary by parcel, scope and jurisdiction. Cut Brush can flag what commonly applies and help identify the right office, and the governing authority makes the determination. Our Oklahoma City permit guide puts every threshold beside its official source.
Most work quotes between $1,500 and $4,500 per acre. A fence line or a pass through young cedar in grass sits near the floor, and a whole section of mature cedar taken to a graded finish sits near the ceiling. Stem size is what usually decides it here, because a cedar thicket left alone for fifteen years is a very different machine hour than the same acre caught at head height. The Oklahoma City pricing guide lists every band with what moves it, the mulching figure is broken out in our Oklahoma City forestry mulching cost guide, and the walk-through that turns a band into one written number costs nothing.
Sometimes, and in Oklahoma that answer changes week to week rather than season to season. Burn bans here are issued by county commissioners or proclaimed by the Governor, and the Oklahoma Department of Agriculture, Food and Forestry states plainly that a burn ban is a ban on burning, with a county violation carrying a fine of not more than $500, imprisonment for up to a year, or both. Oklahoma Forestry Services publishes the current county list, and through the dry end of summer it routinely covers most of the state. That makes burning something you cannot schedule around. Grinding the material where it stands removes the question entirely, because nothing is piled and nothing waits on a window that may not open.
No, and on this clay it is worth settling early. Mulching grinds standing stems where they are and leaves the material as a mat on the surface. Stumps are cut flush rather than pulled, so the root mass stays in the soil, which helps hold a surface that sheds water fast but is nothing like a compacted pad. If a house, a shop, a drive or a septic field is the plan, that is clearing plus site work, and both the finish and the surface protection belong in the scope rather than in a conversation after the first heavy storm.
Six counties. Oklahoma County including Edmond, Midwest City, Del City, Choctaw, Harrah, Jones and Luther. Cleveland County including Norman and Moore. Canadian County including Yukon, Mustang, El Reno and Piedmont. Logan County at Guthrie. McClain County including Newcastle, Blanchard and Purcell. Grady County including Tuttle and Chickasha. If your place sits inside that area and your town is not named, ask anyway.
