Land Clearing in Splendora, TX

Need land clearing in Splendora, TX? MTM Land Clearing clears wooded lots, acreage, and new homesites across Splendora and the US 59 corridor north of New Caney.

The soil here carries the town's name. The Splendora series is a fine sandy loam over loam and sandy clay loam that the USDA describes as moderately well to somewhat poorly drained, with a perched water table 15 to 28 inches down from December to April. The native cover is loblolly, shortleaf, and longleaf pine with water oak, willow oak, southern red oak, and sweetgum over a yaupon understory, and most of the land around town has been in timber. Peach Creek and Caney Creek run through it toward the East Fork of the San Jacinto, and both put water over FM 2090 and US 59 at high stages.

We clear for builders and homeowners across the area: new lots in Gemini and Townsend Reserve, homesites in The Canopies off TX-242, and one-to-five-acre wooded tracts in Northcrest Ranch and Rio Vista. We also clear raw acreage along FM 2090 East and toward the creeks. Estimates are free, the company is fully insured, and the lot is left ready for the builder.

Local Conditions in Splendora

Land Clearing Built for Splendora Ground

Splendora is a small city with a new tree ordinance, surrounded by county land under the county's rules. Inside the city limits, a tree preservation ordinance adopted in April 2025 protects trees three inches and up in caliper on vacant and undeveloped property, with owner-occupied single-family homes excluded. A tree removal permit is required before protected trees come out, and clear cutting before the permit is issued is prohibited. Treed areas over an acre need a tree survey from a licensed surveyor, engineer, or landscape architect. Trees inside the buildable area can be removed once permitted without replacement; trees outside it may need replacement or a payment into the city's reforestation fund. Land with an agricultural, timber, or wildlife exemption from the appraisal district is exempt, and so are invasive species like Chinese tallow and privet. The city also requires a floodplain development permit for filling, grading, or excavation in a mapped flood zone. Outside the city, Montgomery County's development permit regime applies: a residential non-structure permit for land disturbance unless the job fits an exemption, and a permit for any work in the 100-year floodplain. The water table sits close to the surface from December through April, so pads and driveways here usually need fill and a drainage plan along with the clearing. Growth is arriving fast. Gemini broke ground in late 2025 with 585 homes, The Canopies is building on 611 acres off TX-242, and the Grand Parkway interchange at New Caney put the whole corridor minutes from the loop.

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…

Splendora FAQs

Land Clearing in Splendora: Common Questions

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

Call (281) 432-7360

How much does land clearing cost in Splendora?
It depends on acreage, how dense the pine and yaupon are, how wet the ground is, access from FM 2090 or a subdivision street, and whether debris is mulched in place or hauled. A quarter-acre lot in Gemini and three wooded acres near Peach Creek are different jobs. We look at the property and give you a free, firm estimate.
Do I need a permit to clear land in Splendora, TX?
Inside city limits, usually yes. The 2025 tree preservation ordinance requires a tree removal permit before protected trees, three inches and up, come off vacant or undeveloped property, and clear cutting before the permit is prohibited. Owner-occupied homes and ag, timber, or wildlife-exempt land are excluded. Outside the city, the county's development permit applies unless your job fits an exemption.
My tract is on Peach Creek or Caney Creek. Can you still clear and grade it?
Yes, with the flood map in hand. Both creeks carry mapped floodplain, and the city and the county each require a floodplain development permit for fill, grading, or excavation inside it. Clearing outside the mapped zone follows the normal rules. We check the parcel on the FEMA map before quoting and keep the machines off saturated ground near the creek.
Why is my Splendora lot soggy from December to April, and can you still work it?
The Splendora soil series holds a perched water table 15 to 28 inches below the surface through the winter, so rain has nowhere to go. Tracked mulchers get back onto that ground sooner than wheeled equipment and leave a mulch layer that protects it. Grading and pad work wait for the ground to firm up, and the estimate stays the same.
Will clearing the pines change my timber exemption?
It can. The city's tree ordinance and the county's exemptions both key off the appraisal district's agricultural, timber, or wildlife status, and clearing a stand can affect that status. That is a question for the Montgomery Central Appraisal District before the work starts. Many owners keep a tree buffer for that reason, and we clear selectively around it.
