The Fastest-Growing Counties in Texas Are North of Here

Collin County added 42,966 residents in the year to July 2025, a 3.4 percent gain that took it to nearly 1.3 million people, and four of the five fastest-growing cities in the country over 20,000 residents sat inside it. Celina led the national list at 24.6 percent, reaching 64,427 residents, and Princeton ranked third at 18.1 percent after topping the same list the year before. Kaufman County went from 198,010 to 209,235 in the same window. Across the metro, 331,753 housing units were added between 2019 and 2024.

Almost none of that land arrives open, and most of it sits on clay that decides the method for you. Ranges for every kind of work are on the Dallas pricing guide, the statewide picture is in our Texas land clearing cost per acre guide, and the mulching figure specifically is broken down in our Dallas forestry mulching cost guide.

Three Things That Decide a Blackland Prairie Job

The ground moves, and it sets the calendar. Houston Black is the soil the Blackland Prairie is named for, and the USDA series description is specific about it: a Vertisol with 40 to 60 percent clay, high shrink-swell potential, and cracks half an inch to four inches wide reaching a foot or more down that stay open 90 to 150 cumulative days in most years. Wet, that clay sticks to everything and a few passes with a loaded trailer leave ruts you can feel from the road. Dry, it is hard work to get below grade at all. A mulch mat holds that soil through the next storm, which is part of why grinding in place beats scraping bare here.

There is no reliable burn plan in this metro. Texas generally prohibits outdoor burning, and the exception covering plant growth from landclearing carries an extra condition in a county that is part of a designated nonattainment area: it applies only if no practical alternative to burning exists. Dallas-Fort Worth is a designated ozone nonattainment area, and with mulching and chipping sold across this metro by a dozen companies, a practical alternative plainly does exist. The Collin County Fire Marshal states the process without ambiguity: no county office can give permission to burn and only TCEQ can decide whether a request meets an exception. So the debris plan here is mulch in place or haul off, settled at the walk-through.

Inside the city, caliper and species decide, not acreage. Dallas City Code Article X protects a tree of eight inches caliper or more unless it is on a named exempt list, and that list covers a great deal of what a clearing crew actually removes here: hackberry, chinaberry, bois d'arc, Arizona ash, black willow, Chinese tallow, Siberian elm, tree of heaven and mimosa among them. Eastern red cedar and mesquite sit on that list too, with a deliberate catch: either becomes protected at eight inches if its trunk is in or within 120 feet of a floodplain, wetland or escarpment zone, within 50 feet of a natural channel setback line, or at 12 inches of caliper anywhere. The division does not reach lots under two acres in single-family or duplex use. Two neighbouring parcels can carry completely different obligations, and the building official decides which.

Dallas Land Clearing FAQ

Inside the city limits the question turns on trees rather than acreage. Dallas City Code Article X protects a tree with a caliper of eight inches or more that is not on the code's exempt species list, and the tree division reaches all property in the city except lots under two acres in single-family or duplex use. Where a protected tree is involved, a tree removal application goes to the building official with a tree survey, and replacement trees must equal or exceed the caliper removed. Separately, TCEQ requires construction stormwater authorization once work disturbs one acre or more. Requirements vary by parcel, scope and jurisdiction. Cut Brush can flag what commonly applies and help identify the right office. The governing authority makes the determination, and our Dallas permit guide walks the sequence with the code beside it.
Plan on mulching instead. Texas generally prohibits outdoor burning, and the exception covering plant growth from landclearing carries an extra condition in a county that is part of a designated nonattainment area: it applies only if no practical alternative to burning exists. Dallas-Fort Worth is a designated ozone nonattainment area, and in a metro where mulching and chipping are sold by a dozen firms, a practical alternative plainly exists. Only TCEQ can decide whether a request meets an exception, as the Collin County Fire Marshal's office states. Cut Brush does not offer burning as a disposal method in this market, which is why grinding the material in place is the default here rather than a preference.
Mulching quotes between $1,500 and $4,000 per acre here, and whole-tract clearing with a named finish runs $1,500 to $4,500. What moves a number in this territory is less about acreage than about the ground: heavy clay that has to be crossed with a tracked machine, how much of the material has to leave the property, and how far a trailer has to come off a paved road. The Dallas pricing guide sets out every range and what moves it, and the Dallas forestry mulching cost breakdown goes deeper on the mulching figure specifically.
Because it moves. Houston Black, the soil that defines the Blackland Prairie, is a Vertisol: the USDA series description puts clay content at 40 to 60 percent, notes high shrink-swell potential, and records cracks up to four inches wide reaching a foot or more down. Wet, that clay loads onto tracks and turns a haul road into a rut. Dry, it is hard enough to slow any work that has to get below grade. It is why a mulch mat left on the surface is worth more here than a bare scrape, and why two identical acres can price differently depending on the week. There is more in our guide to clearing brush on Blackland Prairie clay.
Five counties north, east and south of the city. Dallas County including Dallas, Garland, Mesquite, Rowlett and Sachse. Collin County including Plano, Frisco, McKinney, Allen, Wylie, Prosper, Celina, Anna and Princeton. Rockwall County including Rockwall, Royse City and Heath. Kaufman County including Forney, Terrell and Kaufman. Ellis County including Waxahachie, Midlothian, Red Oak and Ennis. If your place is in the area and your town is not on the list, ask anyway.
