Comprehensive Land Clearing & Thinning Services
Whether you are a residential landowner, a rancher improving grazing, or a commercial developer, Dynamo Dusty’s provides the expertise to tackle any size job, from half an acre to large commercial projects.
Our service list is comprehensive and customized to your goals:
-
Forestry Mulching
An eco-friendly and cost-effective approach where vegetation and trees are finely mulched and spread across the site. This process leaves a clean, nutrient-rich mulch bed that provides erosion control and returns organic material to the soil.
-
Targeted Land Clearing
Utilizing various methods, including traditional clearing and advanced mulching, to ensure the right approach and machine are used for your specific terrain and goal.
-
Cedar Clearing
Addressing the invasive Ashe Juniper that chokes out heritage oaks and consumes massive amounts of water. We are highly effective and efficient at mass cedar removal to restore your property's health and views.
-
New Construction Site Preparation
Clearing building envelopes, roads, and utility paths. We ensure all root systems are managed away from the foundation area and offer services for site grading, sloping, and more.
-
Fence Line and Right-of-Way Clearing
Creating clear, wide paths for new fence installation or utility access, removing trees of any size quickly and efficiently.
-
Selective Thinning & Preservation
We don't just clear; we strategically thin out dense areas to preserve your property's valuable heritage trees and achieve that desired "park-like" aesthetic.

Frequently Asked Questions We Get about our tree trimming services!
How much does it cost to clear land in Texas?
The cost to clear land is entirely site-specific and varies widely based on the complexity of your project. Factors that influence the final investment include:
Acreage: Larger projects often benefit from economies of scale.
Vegetation Density: Clearing heavily forested or dense invasive species (like Ashe Juniper/Cedar) is more complex than lightly covered land.
Terrain Difficulty: Steep, rocky, or hard-to-access terrain requires specialized equipment and more time, increasing the execution complexity.
Scope of Work: Costs reflect the specific services needed, such as stump and root removal, site grading, and the chosen method for debris disposal (e.g., eco-friendly mulching vs. haul-off).
Because we apply a methodical, engineering-based mindset to every project, we recommend scheduling a Free, On-Site Collaborative Consultation. This ensures you receive a clear, detailed proposal that accurately reflects the scope and resources required to achieve your specific goals.
How much land can a bulldozer clear in a day?
The daily efficiency of land clearing is highly variable and depends on the power of the equipment and the density of the vegetation. Modern, high-horsepower forestry mulchers (which we utilize for eco-friendly clearing) can often clear several acres per day in moderately wooded areas. However, for complex selective thinning or difficult terrain, the pace will be slower. Our priority is precision and quality, ensuring the job is done right the first time rather than rushing the pace.
How do I know I’ve hired a truly professional tree service?
A professional tree service shows up prepared, trained, and committed to safety, quality, and communication at every step. At Dynamo Dusty’s, professionalism isn’t just a talking point, it’s built into how we operate. Our crew arrives on time, in uniform, with fully maintained equipment and full safety gear, including chainsaw chaps, helmets, protective eyewear, and high-grip gloves. Many crews skip these essentials, but we believe safety and professionalism should never be optional.
You’ll also notice the difference in how we approach your trees. We provide a detailed, collaborative on-site consultation, explain the “why” behind our recommendations, and deliver a clear, customized proposal, not a scribbled price on a notepad. We trim with intention, respect your property, clean up thoroughly, and communicate throughout the process so you always know what’s happening and why.
When you hire Dynamo Dusty’s, you’re hiring a veteran-owned, highly rated team that treats your property with care, works with precision, and takes pride in delivering top-tier results every time. That’s the difference a truly professional tree service makes.
Help! My trees are a mess and I don’t know where to start or what to do!
Don’t worry, you’re not alone, and the good news is: we do! At Dynamo Dusty’s, we specialize in turning chaotic, overgrown, or neglected trees into beautiful, healthy, intentional features of your property. We see the potential in every tree, no matter how wild it may look today.
During our on-site consultation, we walk your property with you, explain what we see, and create a clear plan that makes sense, from safety and structure to aesthetics and long-term health. Our team trims with an eye toward each tree’s future development, shaping it in ways that encourage strong growth, reduce breakage risks, and highlight the natural beauty of the canopy.
And when we’re done, your trees don’t just look “cleaned up”, they pop. Our work blends artistry, thoughtful pruning, and a deep respect for how each tree is meant to grow. We’ll guide you every step of the way so nothing feels overwhelming.
What does an on-site consultation with Dynamo Dusty’s look like?
An on-site consultation with Dynamo Dusty’s is a relaxed, collaborative walkthrough designed to help you understand your trees and feel confident about your options. As Central Texas’ most friendly tree service company, we take the time needed to help you clearly articulate your goals, whether that’s improving aesthetics, increasing clearance, enhancing safety, or preparing your property for sale or long-term health.
During the visit, we assess factors like canopy structure, limb breakage risks, deadwood, proximity to structures or fences, underbrush density, and overall tree health. We offer thoughtful, practical recommendations as if your property were our own, drawing on our expertise to guide you toward the best long-term solutions.
There is zero sales pressure, ever. Our goal is to educate, advise, and help you make the right decision for your home or land. After the consultation, you’ll receive a clear, detailed proposal outlining our plan, scope of work, and pricing, fully customized to your priorities.
How much does land clearing cost per acre?
The cost is determined by the logistical challenge of the acreage, not just the size. The cost per acre can decrease significantly for very large, multi-acre projects due to optimized workflow and equipment utilization. However, a small, heavily overgrown, or technically difficult half-acre lot may have a higher per-acre investment than flat, easily accessible ranch land. We focus on providing a premium-quality result that offers outstanding value for the high level of expertise provided.
Do I need a permit to clear land in Texas?
Permit requirements are strictly location-dependent and are determined by your specific county or municipality (such as the City of Austin or Hays County). Permits may be required if you plan to:
Remove large, protected, or heritage trees.
Clear land for building new homes, driveways, or commercial projects.
Work near public roads or utility easements.
Disturb protected environmental zones (like wetlands or floodplains).
It is the landowner's responsibility to verify and secure all necessary permits before work begins. We recommend contacting your local city or county planning department.
What is the cheapest way to clear land?
The cheapest way to clear land is often to do the work yourself. However, this is typically the most time-consuming and labor-intensive method, requiring you to source, rent, and operate the correct specialized tools safely. When evaluating cost, it is crucial to consider the true value of professional service:
Safety and Insurance: Avoiding severe safety risks and liabilities associated with large equipment and falling trees.
Speed and Efficiency: Professional crews complete large jobs in days, saving you weeks or months.
Quality of Finish: Ensuring proper clearing of invasive species (like Mesquite tap roots) and leaving a clean, high-quality finish.
We provide a fair and competitive price that reflects the high level of service and expertise delivered by our professional, veteran-owned crew.
I’m not sure how much this will cost — can you help?
Absolutely. At Dynamo Dusty’s, we understand that every property and budget is different, and we’re here to help you find the right approach without stress. During your on-site consultation, we’ll discuss your priorities, evaluate what needs to be done, and then work with you to build a plan that fits comfortably within your budget.
We can break the project into phases over time, or we can modify the scope of work to meet your financial goals while still delivering meaningful improvements to your property. Our team is relationship-focused, not transaction-focused—we care about earning your trust and supporting you for the long term, not pushing a one-time sale.
You’ll receive a clear, detailed proposal that outlines exactly what’s included, what it costs, and how we can scale or sequence the work to fit your needs. Our goal is to make high-quality tree care accessible, transparent, and aligned with what matters to you.
Do you really wear full safety gear while working on my property?
Yes, every single time. At Dynamo Dusty’s, safety is non-negotiable. Our crew wears full PPE, including chainsaw chaps, protective helmets, eye and ear protection, and high-grip gloves. Many crews skip these steps, but we take safety seriously, for our team, for your property, and for the quality of the work being done.
Wearing proper equipment allows us to work efficiently and confidently, especially when handling high-power saws, trimming overhead limbs, or working near structures. It also reflects our commitment to operating like the professional, veteran-led company we are.
When you hire Dynamo Dusty’s, you’re hiring a team that shows up prepared, protected, and trained to do the job the right way, every time.
