Why Greenville Matters For Ranchers & Landowners
What ranchers & landowners dirtwork in Greenville, TX actually takes
Hunt County is the heart of this work, farms, ranches, and rural acreage with Greenville and Commerce as the centers. Fence-line opening, food plots before bow season, fire lanes, full pasture clears, and stock ponds on Houston Black and Bell clay that holds water in wet years and turns to brick in dry ones. Toward Lake Tawakoni in the southeast, the work shifts to moving water across longer runs.
We bring equipment sized to acreage, clear honestly by species, and dig ponds bowl-shaped to your watershed with the banks compacted to hold. On clay this active the wet-dry cycle drives the design, so we cut swales and pond slopes to survive both seasons instead of failing in one.
You own acreage, a working ranch, a hunting lease, a weekend place, or family land that's been in the family longer than you've been alive. You need fence lines opened, a stock pond dug or cleaned out, food plots prepped before bow season, or an access road graded so the trucks stop tearing it up. You want a crew that shows up with the right equipment and doesn't have to learn what East Texas dirt does.
Soil
Houston Black and Bell clay with Wilson clay-loam toward the Sabine holds a pond well but swings hard wet-to-dry, so swales and pond banks get cut to hold grade through both extremes.
Scale
Hunt County acreage runs long, so pasture and fence-line work is measured in linear feet and a real outlet plan, not a yard regrade; cedar comes out fast, post oak and hardwood take longer and we quote both honestly.
Permits
Unincorporated Hunt County is minimal-permit on residential clearing under your own ownership; Greenville and Commerce city limits add stormwater requirements on disturbed acreage.

Cedar comes out fast; post oak and hardwood take longer. We quote both honestly and get the work done before the season window closes.

Right rock for the application, right base depth, right compaction. The difference between a driveway that holds for years and one that ruts out after a hard rain.

Ranchers & Landowners FAQ
Questions we get from ranchers & landowners
- Q01What does land clearing cost per acre?
- Density and finish set it: light cedar mulches fast and prices low, mature post oak takes real time, and grubbing for a building site costs more than mulching for pasture. We walk the tract and quote the finish you actually want, firm and free, see land clearing.
- Q02Can you dig a new stock pond, or clean out an old one?
- Both. New ponds get sized to the watershed and tested for seal before final shaping; silted-in ponds get dug out, reshaped, and their dams and spillways corrected while the equipment's there. If the pond leaks, we find why, see a stock pond that won't hold water.
- Q03Can you have food plots ready before season?
- Yes, if we schedule it like a deadline, which we do: plots cut, cleared, and disked in late summer so seed goes down on time. Book the walk early, the weeks before bow season fill up fastest of anything on our calendar.
- Q04The trucks are tearing up my access road. Can you fix it permanently?
- A compacted base matched to the soil, geotextile where the ground is soft, a crown that sheds water, and culverts sized to the crossings, that combination carries ranch traffic year-round. Rock dumped on dirt washes; a built road holds, see driveways and ranch roads.
- Q05Can you work around livestock and fences?
- That's ranch work. Gates get closed behind equipment, fence lines get cleared without dropping the wire, and staging keeps machines out of whichever pasture is holding cattle that week. Tell us how the rotation runs and we plan the work around it.
- Q06Do I need a permit for work on my own ranch land?
- In the unincorporated counties we work, mostly no, residential and ag work on your own land is permit-light, with 811 utility locates the one constant. Stormwater rules only reach bigger disturbed areas near city limits. We confirm before equipment rolls.
- Q07How much can you clear in a day?
- Open cedar and understory, several acres a day with the mulching head; thick mixed brush and mature hardwood, less. It depends on what's standing, which is why we quote off a walk instead of an aerial photo.
- Q08Can you stage a big clearing job over time?
- Yes. Plenty of landowners take a tract in phases, fence lines and access first, then pasture, then the building envelope, spreading the cost while the property improves each round. We plan the phases so each one stands on its own.
