The clearing trade
Cleared means finished —
not pushed into a pile and left.
Plenty of outfits will knock trees over. The difference between that and cleared ground is everything that comes after: roots raked so they don't sprout back, debris piled and burned under safe conditions, and the ground ripped to break the hardpan so pasture grass or pine seedlings can actually root. We run the whole cycle with one crew — no handing you between three subcontractors.
What it costs: our clearing starts at $5,000 per acre. Two things move the number: distance from our Heber Springs shop — we haul our own dozers statewide on our own trucks, and mobilization is priced in up front — and how big and thick the timber is. Light brush and saplings clear fast; a mature hardwood stand is real work. Text us photos of the tract and we'll tell you where yours lands.
Who calls us: homesite owners clearing a build spot, cattle folks reclaiming grown-over pasture, hunters cutting food plots, lanes and access roads, and timberland owners needing cut-over ground sheared, raked and ripped for replanting. Different jobs, same discipline.

Clearing & forestry scope
Four kinds of ground,
one way of working it.
Pasture Reclamation
Grown-over pasture pushed back to grass — cedar and brush cleared, roots raked, ground ripped so forage comes back thick. Fence line to full farm.
Food Plots, Lanes & Access
Food plots cleared and worked, shooting lanes cut, access roads pushed in. Ozark and Delta hunting ground worked the way you want to hunt it.
Forestry Site Prep
Cut-over timberland sheared, raked, piled, burned and ripped for replanting — cost-share practice standards welcome. The dirt-work half of growing trees.
Forestry Mulching, Burning & Haul-Off
Three ways the brush goes away: ground to mulch where it stands with our forestry mulcher head, piled and burned under safe conditions, or hauled off on our own trucks. The site picks the method.
Rock Never Stops The Job
Ozark clearing hits rock. We carry a 10,000-lb hydraulic hammer on an 80,000-lb excavator that breaks it in place — no blasting, no second contractor, no stalled job.

Clearing questions, straight answers
What Arkansas landowners
ask us.
How much does land clearing cost per acre in Arkansas?
Starts at $5,000 per acre. Two things move it from there: distance from our Heber Springs shop (we haul our own equipment statewide; mobilization is priced in up front) and how big and thick the timber is — light brush clears faster than a mature hardwood stand. Call 501-250-4490 or text photos of the tract and we'll give you a real number after a site walk.
What's included in a clearing job?
The whole cycle, one crew: trees and brush pushed, roots raked, debris piled and burned under safe conditions, and the ground left ready for what's next — pasture, pad, or replanting. Want it ripped to break the hardpan? We do that too.
Do you do forestry site prep — shearing and ripping for replanting?
Yes. On cut-over timberland we shear standing residuals, rake and pile the slash, burn the piles, and rip the ground so seedlings root deep. If you're working with your county office on a cost-share plan, we build to the practice standard it calls for.
How far will you travel?
Anywhere in Arkansas — Ozarks to the Delta. Distance is one of the two things that sets the per-acre price, so it's figured into the quote up front. No surprises on the invoice.
Do you clear hunting properties?
All the time — food plots cleared and worked, shooting lanes cut, access roads pushed in, staging areas graded. Tell us how you want the property to hunt and we'll shape the ground to it.
Is burning safe? Can you haul debris instead?
We've managed clearing burns for fifty years — piled right, sited right, burned under the right conditions. Where burning isn't allowed or wanted, we haul debris off on our own trucks. Either way the tract is left clean.
Do you do forestry mulching?
Yes — we run a forestry mulcher head. Mulching grinds brush and small timber where it stands: no burn piles, no haul-off, and the ground keeps a mulch cover that holds the soil. It shines on underbrush, selective clearing and keeping a wooded look. For heavy timber, stumps and pad-ready ground, dozer clearing takes over. We run both — so the method fits your land, not the one machine an outfit happens to own.
Do you do storm cleanup?
Yes. Downed timber, storm debris, and blocked access are the same clear-rake-haul work we do every day — dozers and loaders to open it up, our own trucks to haul the mess off. If a storm has made your place unusable or unreachable, call 501-250-4490 and we'll get iron headed your way.
