Land Clearing in Waller, TX

Need land clearing in Waller, TX? MTM Land Clearing clears pasture, fence lines, wooded acreage, and building lots across Waller and the US 290 corridor. Waller sits on the seam where the Katy Prairie gives way to the timbered country of northeast Waller County, so one job can be open rice ground and the next can be pines. We come from Spring by way of FM 2920 with skid steers, forestry mulchers, and excavators. Call (281) 432-7360 for a free estimate.

South and west of town the soils are the Katy series sandy loams of the old coastal prairie: flat, slow to drain, and grown up in Chinese tallow, huisache, and Macartney rose wherever cattle and hay have stopped. North and east the ground turns to Hockley loamy fine sands and the poorly drained Waller series flats that stay saturated from December to April under water oak, willow oak, sweetgum, and loblolly pine. Cypress Creek starts nine miles southeast of town and Spring Creek starts near Fields Store, so a lot of the acreage here drains toward one of those two creeks.

We clear for homeowners, builders, and landowners across the area: new lots in Beacon Hill and Attwater, one-to-two-acre estate lots at Lakeview on FM 362, and wooded tracts of an acre and a half and up in Saddle Creek Forest. We also clear the old hay and cattle parcels along FM 362 and FM 2920 that are turning into homesites. Estimates are free and the company is fully insured.

Local Conditions in Waller

Land Clearing Built for Waller Ground

Waller straddles Waller County and Harris County, and the city limits are small, so most clearing jobs answer to a county. Inside the city, the Permits and Inspections office requires permits for new construction and site work, and contractors have to be registered with the city. The floodplain ordinance requires a development permit for filling, grading, or excavation in a mapped flood zone, with new homes elevated to the base flood or 500-year elevation, whichever is higher. The city's code focuses on building and floodplain permits rather than tree preservation. On the Waller County side, the County Engineer in Hempstead has required a development permit for all new development since 2013, covering fill, driveways and culverts, water wells, and septic, and the fee doubles if work starts before the permit issues. The county allows no structural fill in flood hazard areas, requires one-for-one compensating storage for any fill up to the 500-year elevation, and sets a 1.5-acre minimum lot for a private well and septic. Dividing a tract into pieces of ten acres or less requires a plat. On the Harris County side, north of the city toward Fields Store and Hockley, the Harris County Engineer permits floodplain work and grading. Growth along US 290 is steep. The county's population rose about 40 percent to more than 66,000, and three new communities inside the city are planned to roughly triple its population. Beacon Hill's new US 290 exit and business park are pulling both homes and jobs to the north side of the highway.

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…

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…

Waller FAQs

Land Clearing in Waller: Common Questions

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

Call (281) 432-7360

How much does land clearing cost in Waller?
Open pasture with tallow and huisache is the low end. Wooded Saddle Creek Forest tracts with pines to remove and stumps to grub are the high end, and access, wet ground, and debris handling move the number in between. We look at the property and give you a free, firm estimate for your land.
Do I need a Waller County development permit before you clear, fill, or set a culvert?
For fill, driveways and culverts, wells, and septic, yes. The County Engineer in Hempstead has required a development permit for all new development since 2013, and the county doubles the fee for work started before the permit is issued. You need a 911 address first. Mulching brush on its own is not on the county's permit list, but dirt work is.
Which side of the county line am I on, and who issues the floodplain permit?
The city of Waller crosses the line, and the acreage around it does too. Parcels in Waller County go through the County Engineer in Hempstead, who is the floodplain administrator. Parcels in Harris County, including Oakwood Estates and the land toward Fields Store and Hockley, go through the Harris County Engineer. Your appraisal district record tells you which, and we check it before quoting grading near Cypress Creek or Spring Creek.
Can you bring in fill to raise a pad on a low, wet lot?
Outside a mapped flood hazard area, yes, with the county permit. Inside one, Waller County allows no structural fill and requires open foundations like pier and beam, and any fill up to the 500-year elevation has to be offset with equal storage on the site. The Waller series flats northeast of town stay saturated through the winter, so drainage often matters more than height.
I bought 10 or more acres of old rice and hay pasture off FM 362. Can you clear it without a plat?
Yes. Tracts over ten acres are exempt from Waller County platting, and clearing fence lines, mesquite, tallow, and brush is not a subdivision. A driveway or culvert onto a county road still needs the county development permit, and a well and septic go through the county's environmental office. We clear the fence lines and cut the drive in the same trip.
