Amanda Elliott

Forestry Mulching

★★★★★

We hired Cut Brush for approximately three acres of forestry mulching and couldn't be happier. Communication was outstanding from the very beginning, the crew was professional and efficient, and we loved the regular updates and photos throughout the project. It's refreshing to work with a company that values communication and quality workmanship. Highly recommend!

Land Clearing

★★★★★

Greg did a fantastic job with our land that was overgrown with vines, brush and trees. It took about 1 1/2 days of constant work with the machine to get this 0.6 acres under control. Greg was here at 8am sharp, just as promised. Very professional and reliable. 100% satisfied customer! I highly recommend Cut Brush for land clearing.

Land Clearing & Forestry Mulching Across Lubbock and the South Plains

Cut Brush clears brushy land for owners around Lubbock, from Wolfforth, Shallowater and Idalou to Slaton and Ransom Canyon, and out to Levelland, Abernathy, Tahoka and Lorenzo. On the South Plains the work is mostly honey mesquite: scattered trees spreading across pasture, thickets along draws and fence lines, and brush taking over old cropland, acreage lots and the edges of town.

Most of it is forestry mulching. Our crew grinds brush and small trees into mulch where they grew, in one pass, so nothing is left to burn or haul. We also offer land clearing, mesquite and pasture brush clearing, and lot and homesite prep.

What our price includes: brush, small trees and stumps ground into mulch on site, stumps flush with the ground and nothing hauled away. Full stump removal below grade, which is what pulling a mesquite crown out means, and cut-and-haul of very large trees are discussed and priced in the quote. Grading and build pads are not part of our price: we clear to the ground so a builder can grade.

Sound Familiar?

  • Mesquite spreading across a pasture until the grass between the trees thins out
  • An acreage tract outside town too brushy to walk, let alone build on
  • Mesquite that was cut down years ago, back as a thicket of stems
  • A brush pile you cannot burn inside the city or during a county burn ban

Cut Brush Delivers

  • Mesquite ground to chips, with the shade trees you choose left standing
  • A lot opened so the house, drive and septic spots are plain to see
  • A regrowth plan in the quote: crown removal or a licensed applicator's follow-up
  • Brush turned to mulch on site, so there is no pile to burn or haul

Why South Plains Property Owners Choose Cut Brush

Brush here is mostly mesquite on flat, open ground, and it comes back from the root. The method has to work around the trees you keep, leave the soil covered and plan for the regrowth.

  • No burn pile to plan around. Texas allows land clearing growth to be burned on the property only outside city limits and under state distance, daylight and wind conditions, and Lubbock County has ordered burn bans in dry spells, as it did in March 2025. Mulching leaves nothing to burn.
  • Soil left covered. The chip layer shields cleared ground from wind and from the intense summer thunderstorms that bring much of the region's rain.
  • Per-acre bands in public. The Lubbock pricing page lists the range for each kind of work.
  • A regrowth plan, not a promise. The quote says which trees will resprout and what keeps them down.
  • Scope and price on paper. Our crew writes both out before work starts.

What to Know Before Clearing Land Around Lubbock

Mesquite on a flat plateau. The USDA Forest Service describes the Llano Estacado as a flat, expansive plateau of shortgrass prairie, blue grama and buffalograss with patches of honey mesquite, cut by dry draws and dotted with playa basins. Brush here gathers in the draws, along fence lines and across pasture and old cropland, so most jobs are scattered or patchy stands rather than closed woods, and the number of stems sets the price more than the height of the trees. The Lubbock forestry mulching cost guide explains how that shows up in a quote.

Mesquite does not stay cut. Texas A&M AgriLife explains that grubbing works because it removes the part of the root where new shoots form, and that any of that bud zone left behind can resprout. Its Brush Busters guidance adds that multi-stemmed mesquite is much harder to control than an undisturbed tree. Mulching opens the pasture; crown removal priced in the quote, or a licensed applicator treating the regrowth once it has had two growing seasons, keeps it open. The Lubbock mesquite removal guide sets out the order.

An acre or more brings in stormwater rules. Inside Lubbock, the city's stormwater regulations count clearing, grading and excavating that disturb one acre or more as construction activity. Outside the city, a project of an acre or more that drains into unincorporated Lubbock County sends a copy of its state stormwater notice to Lubbock County Public Works at 916 Main Street. Requirements vary by parcel, scope and jurisdiction, and the governing authority makes the determination.

Lubbock Land Clearing FAQ

Ask before booking. Inside the city, Lubbock's stormwater rules count clearing that disturbs an acre or more as construction activity. In unincorporated Lubbock County, a project that disturbs an acre or more sends a copy of its state stormwater notice to Lubbock County Public Works. Requirements vary by parcel, scope and jurisdiction, and the governing authority makes the determination.
Our rates run from $1,500 to $4,500 an acre, and an acre lands anywhere in its band depending on how many mesquite stems are standing and how big they are. Scattered young mesquite on open pasture sits at the low end; a dense stand of old, multi-stemmed trees sits at the high end. Small jobs are priced at our $1,500 project minimum, a minimum charge rather than a fee on top. All four bands are on the Lubbock pricing guide, and the Lubbock forestry mulching cost guide explains day rates and acres per day.
Expect it to. Texas A&M AgriLife explains that mesquite regrows from a bud zone on its root crown, and mulching cuts at the surface. Removing the crown below that zone, or treatment of the regrowth by a licensed applicator, is what stops it. Our Lubbock mesquite removal guide sets out the plan.
Yes. A mulching head steers between trunks, so flag the trees you want kept and our crew works around them. On open ground a few big mesquites near a house, pen or tank can be worth more standing than gone.
