Brush Clearing & Underbrush Removal in Spring, TX

Overgrown lots and wooded acreage opened back up

Brush clearing opens up ground that has grown over and puts it back to use. MTM Land Clearing Services works out of Spring, Texas, and covers Montgomery County and north Houston. Some owners want every bit of undergrowth gone, down to bare dirt. Others want the small stuff cut out so the good hardwoods and pines have room again.

Brush comes off a property one of two ways, and the choice is yours. We can mulch it in place with a compact track loader and a forestry mulching head. That leaves a chip layer on the ground instead of a burn pile, and how mulching works explains it. The other way is to cut the brush and haul it off in our trucks and roll-off containers.

Some of this work sits on ground a full-size machine cannot get to. We run a remote-controlled compact machine for brush on pond banks and ditch lines instead. A grown-in fence row is its own job: see clearing a fence line. We cover Spring, The Woodlands, Conroe, Tomball, Humble and the rest of the towns we serve.

The Work We Do

Brush Clearing Services in Spring, TX

Underbrush & Undergrowth Removal

We take out the low growth under a tree canopy: vines, saplings, briars and scrub. The big trees stay. You end up with woods you can see and drive through.

Overgrown Lot & Acreage Cleanup

A lot that has sat for years grows in thick. Lot clearing on a homesite or acreage tract puts it back to ground you can build or sell on. For the whole property, see our land clearing service.

Thicket & Invasive Brush Removal

Yaupon holly, Chinese privet, Chinese tallow and greenbrier take over fast here. Privet grows back from cut stems and lateral roots, so we grub the root mats when you want it gone.

Pond Bank & Ditch Clearing

Brush crowds pond banks and ditch lines where a full-size machine cannot safely work. We use a remote-controlled compact machine to clear those edges instead. It reaches spots a track loader cannot get to.

Brush Pile Removal & Haul-Off

Old brush piles and the brush we cut go into our roll-off containers and off the property. Stumps left behind are a separate job: see stump grinding and removal.

What It Costs

How Brush Clearing Pricing Works

Brush clearing is priced by the job, and a handful of things move the number. Acreage counts, along with how thick the brush is and how big the stems have grown. Wet clay, slopes, tight gates and hauling brush off instead of mulching it all add time. Tell us the address and how clean you want the ground, and we will set up a free estimate.

Frequently Asked Questions

Brush Clearing Questions, Answered

Straight answers on how our brush clearing works, what it costs, and what to expect.

Call (281) 432-7360

How much does it cost to clear 1 acre of brush?
There is no flat rate for an acre of brush. Price follows how thick the growth is, how big the stems are and where the debris goes. An acre of light undergrowth clears much faster than an acre of yaupon thicket. Our guide to land clearing cost per acre lists the drivers, and a free estimate prices your lot.
How do you get rid of underbrush in the woods?
We run a compact track loader with a forestry mulching head through the understory. It cuts the brush and small stems low and turns them into chips on the ground. The trees you want keep standing, and you get sight lines and room to drive. Expect some regrowth, because most woody plants resprout from their roots or crowns after cutting.
Is brush clearing the same as forestry mulching?
They overlap, but they are not the same thing. Brush clearing is the result: an overgrown lot or a grown-in pond bank opened back up. Forestry mulching is one method, where a mulching head grinds the brush into chips on site. We also cut and haul brush off when that suits the lot, and our forestry mulching page covers the method.
Do you haul the brush away or mulch it?
Either one, and the call is yours. Mulching leaves a chip layer on the ground, and the material stays on site. Hauling clears the ground completely, and we load the brush into roll-off containers and take it away. On most lots we talk it through at the estimate and pick the one that fits the site.
What is the best time of year to clear brush around Houston?
Brush clearing runs year round here, but two things shape the timing. Texas Parks and Wildlife lists a nesting season from March 15 to September 15, and some owners clear outside it. Wet ground is the other factor, since our clay soils hold water after a hard rain. For more on timing, read the best time to clear land near Houston.
Do I need a permit to clear brush in Montgomery County?
Sometimes, and it depends on the lot. Since October 1, 2025, Montgomery County's development permit has covered land clearing. The county engineer's exemptions include residential clearing of up to half a lot of 2.5 acres or less. Flood hazard areas and city rules change that, so read our Montgomery County permit guide first.
