Lot clearing, forestry mulching, and site prep across New Caney, Roman Forest, and the SH-99 corridor. Twenty minutes from our shop, free estimates.

Land Clearing in New Caney, TX

New Caney is twenty minutes from our shop, straight across the Grand Parkway, which makes it some of the fastest work we do. MTM Land Clearing clears lots, acreage, and development ground across New Caney, TX and east Montgomery County, from the I-69 corridor out to the county line. Our own skid steers, forestry mulchers, and excavators do the work, and estimates are free at (281) 432-7360.

This is flat-to-rolling Piney Woods: loblolly and shortleaf pine over oak, sweetgum, and blackgum, with the yaupon and greenbrier understory that turns an untouched lot into a wall in a few seasons. Caney Creek and Peach Creek both run through the area on their way to the East Fork of the San Jacinto, and wide mapped floodplains follow them, so plenty of properties carry a wet, low section that needs a machine with tracks and an operator who reads ground.

The Grand Parkway turned New Caney into a construction zone in the best way. Master-planned communities like Valley Ranch, Tavola, and Harrington Trails keep adding sections, Roman Forest holds its half-acre wooded lots, and older creek-side neighborhoods like Peach Creek Forest and Woodbranch always have an overgrown lot changing hands. We clear for builders, new lot owners, and long-time locals alike, and the quote we give is the price you pay.

Local Conditions in New Caney

Land Clearing Built for New Caney Ground

New Caney is unincorporated east Montgomery County Piney Woods, flat to gently rolling, with loblolly and shortleaf pine over hardwoods on sandy and loamy soils. Caney Creek and Peach Creek carry wide mapped floodplains through the area, and Montgomery County, under rules updated October 2025, requires a development permit for clearing and dirt work unless an exemption applies, with floodplain work always permitted, review for anything within 100 feet of a floodplain, and drainage signoff once disturbance passes 15,000 square feet; the small incorporated cities inside the 77357 ZIP, Roman Forest, Woodbranch, and Patton Village, add their own city permitting. Debris burning is the wrong plan here: this corner of the Houston air-quality region treats open burning of land-clearing debris as prohibited, and county burn bans stack on top in dry years, so mulching on site or hauling off is how cleared material actually leaves a New Caney job. Growth is the constant: the SH-99 and I-69 interchange anchors Valley Ranch and its expanding districts, new sections keep opening at Tavola and Harrington Trails on SH-242, and commercial pads keep clearing along the corridor.

If you need land cleared and trees removed don’t hesitate to call MTM Land Clearing Services. I needed to clear about 3 acres — they showed up with state of the art equipment and got the job done at the quoted price…

Mark Henley2 months ago · Google review

The owner was professional, timely, and thorough. He cleared some land for us in Conroe and hauled away everything, including debris that was left over from the previous owner. It was something he did extra — on his own accord…

New Caney FAQs

Land Clearing in New Caney: Common Questions

Local answers on permits, cost, and what to expect on New Caney property.

Call (281) 432-7360

How much does land clearing cost in New Caney?
Lot size, brush density, wet ground near the creeks, access, and debris handling set the price. Because New Caney sits twenty minutes from our shop, mobilization is cheap, which helps smaller jobs make sense. We walk the lot, scope it, and hand you a free, firm estimate.
Do I need a permit to clear land in New Caney?
Montgomery County updated its rules in October 2025: a development permit covers clearing unless an exemption applies. Most residential clearing outside the floodplain is exempt, up to half the property capped at 2.5 acres with no drainage changes, but Caney Creek and Peach Creek floodplain work always needs a permit, and commercial clearing past 15,000 square feet does too. Inside Roman Forest, Woodbranch, or Patton Village, city rules add on. We check the maps and tell you what applies.
Can you burn the cleared debris?
Plan on not burning in New Caney. This part of the Houston air-quality region treats open burning of land-clearing debris as off the table, and county burn bans stack on top in dry years. We mulch debris in place with the forestry mulcher, which most owners prefer anyway, or haul it off. Either way the lot ends clean, without smoke or a standing pile.
Do you clear lots along Caney Creek or Peach Creek?
Yes, carefully. Both creeks carry wide mapped floodplains, and lots near them often hold soft, low ground. We run tracked equipment, time wet tracts for drier spells, and flag anything that crosses into the floodplain where a county development permit applies. You get the lot cleared without ruts, surprises, or a permit problem.
Do you work with builders in Valley Ranch, Tavola, and Harrington Trails?
That corridor is a core part of our week. We clear and grub lots, cut pads, and grade build-ready ground for builders and owner-builds across the SH-99 and I-69 corridor and SH-242. Close range means fast scheduling and quick turnarounds, which is what a build timeline actually needs.
