Bulverde land and where forestry mulching fits
Bulverde is a rural city in Comal County, north of San Antonio. US 281 runs along the east side of town, State Highway 46 crosses it at an interchange, and Cibolo Creek runs just south of Bulverde along the line between Comal and Bexar counties.
Property around Bulverde runs from acreage homesites to working ranch land. Much of it is shallow, rocky soil over limestone, with cedar, live oaks and brush filling in wherever nobody has cleared for a few years. Forestry mulching grinds that growth where it stands, so the soil stays put and nothing has to be piled or hauled.

Twenty acres at the Bulverde Market Day grounds
Bulverde work is already part of our record. Ashley Cooke hired 9 Arrow to clear the 20 acres where Bulverde Market Day is held and later left a Google review about the result.
“They cleared our 20 acres in Bulverde where Bulverde Market Day is held and did a great job! A year and a half later the land looks incredible.” Ashley Cooke, Google review
The line we care about most in that review is the year and a half. We don't consider a job finished unless we're proud of the result, and a result worth being proud of still looks right long after the machines leave.
Selective mulching around Bulverde live oaks
Live oaks are a big part of what makes Bulverde property worth owning. Selective forestry mulching takes out the cedar, brush and smaller trees you mark and leaves the oaks standing with open ground beneath them.
Drought stress and oak wilt are common in Central Texas. Oak wilt spreads in defined paths, and an infected tree cannot be restored. Selective clearing is often the best option to protect the surrounding trees, so what stays and what goes gets settled during the site visit, before a machine starts.
Getting a Bulverde lot ready to build, sell or use
We don't just clear land. We stage property. A mulched Bulverde lot shows buyers and builders the lay of the land, the trees worth keeping, and where a house or barn could sit.
When the plan calls for a house pad, land clearing for a building site adds grubbing with dozers and excavators where root balls must come out, such as under a foundation. When you need a way in, access road building covers drives graded with proper crown and drainage.

Questions from Bulverde landowners
Have you cleared land in Bulverde before?
Yes, 9 Arrow has cleared land in Bulverde, including the 20 acres where Bulverde Market Day is held. The Google review from Ashley Cooke reads, “A year and a half later the land looks incredible.” Our home base in Spring Branch sits just north of Bulverde on US 281.
How long does forestry mulching take on a Bulverde acreage?
Forestry mulching on a Bulverde acreage moves at about half an acre to an acre a day on smaller machines and about 1 to 3 acres a day on larger machines with reasonable tree coverage. Thick cedar, big trees and rocky slopes slow the pace, and the estimate accounts for that.
What does a Bulverde lot look like right after forestry mulching?
A Bulverde lot right after forestry mulching is open ground covered in fine mulch, with the trees you chose still standing. Our crews call the material toothpicks or hamster chips. A fine finish is easy to drive over, keeps the soil covered, and lets grass come back faster than a rough one.
Can you mulch the old brush piles on my Bulverde property?
Yes, old brush piles on Bulverde property can be mulched in place, including bulldozer piles as large as a house. Mulching them avoids burning, which is often prohibited during burn bans. The piles end up as fine mulch spread on the ground, with nothing left to haul away.
Can you mulch around the old rock walls on Bulverde land?
Yes. Dry-laid rock walls built between the 1850s and 1890s still line pastures around Bulverde, many along FM 1863. A compact track mulcher clears the cedar and brush up to a wall without pushing the rock around the way a dozer blade would. Point the walls out on the site walk and we work to them.
