Kilgore Land Clearing & Forestry Mulching
Pine and oak acreage, overgrown pasture and fence lines around Kilgore cleared with a tracked mulcher. The brush is ground into mulch on site, so there is nothing to burn inside city limits and nothing to haul.
Oil field country with iron capped ridges
Kilgore sits on the East Texas Oil Field, discovered in 1930, and the steel derricks downtown on the World’s Richest Acre are a reminder of how this ground was used. Most of the town is in Gregg County, with the south end in Rusk County. The creek valley just east of town is Carrizo sand, the Reklaw beds around it weather to red clay soils, and to the south Rusk County runs to deep sandy loam over clay with iron capped ridges.
On the uplands the woods are pine, post oak, blackjack and hickory. In the bottoms along Bighead Creek and down toward the Sabine, which runs just north of town, it turns to oak, ash, walnut, gum and elm, with cypress along the creeks. Around Kilgore we clear wooded acreage, pasture that has grown up in brush, and fence lines out toward Liberty City, New London, Laird Hill and White Oak.

Burning, floodplain and city limits
Kilgore’s city code only allows land clearing brush to be trench burned with a permit from the fire marshal, and only when there is no practical alternative to burning. Mulching is that alternative: the brush is ground in place and nothing is burned.
The city also has a flood damage prevention ordinance that requires a development permit for work in a mapped floodplain, so land along Bighead Creek and the other creeks in town should be checked with the city first.
Rural Gregg and Rusk County land outside the city generally needs no clearing permit unless it is in a floodplain. We flag what applies to your property when we quote.

What moves the price on a Kilgore job
We quote every property on its own. Around Kilgore, these make the biggest difference.
Brush density
Open pine and oak with scattered brush goes quickly. A thicket grown solid takes real machine time.
Ironstone ridges
Iron capped ridges and steep slopes slow the machine compared to flat sandy ground.
Creek bottoms
Bottoms along Bighead Creek and toward the Sabine hold water. We wait for them to dry.
Trees to keep
Keeping good pines and hardwoods means careful work around each trunk, which takes longer.

Kilgore land clearing questions
How much does land clearing cost in Kilgore, TX?
It depends on how thick the brush is, the size of the trees, the ridges and bottoms, and the access. We quote each Kilgore property individually. Text photos and a pin to (903) 952-9217 for a straight estimate.
Can I burn brush from clearing land in Kilgore?
Inside city limits, only by trench burning with a fire marshal permit, and only when there is no practical alternative. Mulching is the alternative: the brush is ground in place and nothing is burned.
Can you clear under my pines without hurting them?
Yes. Flag the pines and hardwoods you want, and we mulch the understory around them without a blade near the trunks.
Do I need a permit to clear land in Kilgore?
Inside city limits, work in a mapped floodplain needs a development permit under the flood damage prevention ordinance. Rural land outside the city generally needs no clearing permit unless it is in a floodplain.
What happens to the brush after you clear it?
It gets mulched in place. Nothing is burned or hauled off, and the mulch keeps sandy and red clay ground from washing.
How long does a Kilgore clearing job take?
A homesite or a fence line can be a day. A larger tract takes longer. We give you a day count with the estimate.
Can you quote from photos?
Usually. Send a few photos of the thickest areas, the gate or road in, and a map pin. If we need to walk it, we will say so.
Do you work outside Kilgore?
Yes. We are based in the Canton area and clear land around Liberty City, New London, Laird Hill, White Oak and Gladewater. Ask about your location when you call.
