Who does land clearing for developers in Central Texas?
9 Arrow Land Service does land clearing for developers across Central Texas and the Texas Hill Country. The family-owned Spring Branch company mulches mass acreage, clears lot lines and street corridors with Trimble GPS guidance, builds access roads from crushed on-site rock and cuts pad sites, so one contractor carries a raw tract through early site work.
Mass land clearing for developers on a schedule
Raw development tracts in Central Texas are often thick with cedar, brush and hardwoods. At 9 Arrow, we clear them with forestry mulching, grinding trees and vegetation where they stand. Nothing gets pushed, piled, hauled or burned, so there are no burn piles to wait on during a burn ban and no debris trucks leaving the site.
Our large articulated wheel machines clear about 1 to 3 acres per day with reasonable tree coverage, and our compact track machines handle tight access and slopes. Mulching leaves the soil intact, while dozing disturbs soil and raises erosion risk. Where foundations need the roots out, we grub with bulldozers and excavators and mulch the root balls on site.
Lot lines and street corridors cut to survey data
9 Arrow mounts Trimble geospatial data collectors and receivers on our forestry mulching machines and loads your licensed surveyor's CAD files. Our operators follow certified survey data with real-time GPS guidance. That is how our survey line clearing opens subdivision street corridors, lot lines, property lines between tracts and future road locations through dense timber.
Clearing from survey data reduces or eliminates survey-crew pre-staking, which can save tens of thousands of dollars on larger projects and cut delays. 9 Arrow is not a licensed surveyor and does not replace yours. We clear to the lines your surveyor certifies.
Access roads, rock and pads for development sites
Development sites need roads that carry heavy equipment and truck traffic. 9 Arrow handles access road building from clearing through rough grading, fine grading, culverts, drainage and erosion control. We grade every road with proper crown and drainage so it stays usable through changing weather.
When a tract has surface rock, our on-site rock crushing turns that rock into a fine, compactible road base. Processing your own rock eliminates imported material and reduces project cost. We also cut and fine-grade pad sites for foundations and future buildings and trench for low-pressure waterlines and electrical conduit.
A clearing contractor that keeps up with developer volume
"We exclusively use 9 Arrow for all land clearings, lot lines, and site prep scopes for our Texas projects. They are exceptional, keep up with our overwhelming volume, and deliver a level of quality and responsiveness we haven't seen anyone else rival." (Zach C., developer, 5-star Google review)
9 Arrow leaves a fine mulch finish that is easier to drive over and lets grass regrow faster, with the trees you mark left standing through selective clearing. We believe properly cleared and maintained land is healthier, more valuable and more enjoyable to own, and that matters when lots go to market.
Five-star Google reviews
John is one of the best in the business. 9 Arrow has cleared over a dozen properties for me, and every project has been handled with exceptional attention to detail.
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. They are so easy to work with and have great communication (which is hard to find!)!
Common questions
How is land clearing for a development priced?
9 Arrow prices development land clearing after a discovery call, a site visit or both. The estimate reflects vegetation density, tree size and species, topography, access, maneuverability and soil conditions, and we show it by the day or by the acre. Survey files and site plans help us understand the scope of the work.
Can 9 Arrow clear to our surveyor's lot lines?
Yes. 9 Arrow loads your licensed surveyor's CAD survey files onto Trimble receivers mounted on our forestry mulchers, and our operators follow the certified survey data with real-time GPS guidance. That approach reduces or eliminates pre-staking. 9 Arrow is not a licensed surveyor and does not replace one.
How many acres a day can 9 Arrow clear on a development tract?
9 Arrow's large, high-horsepower machines clear about 1 to 3 acres per 8-hour day with reasonable tree coverage, and up to about 5 acres in lighter conditions. Our smaller compact machines clear about half an acre to 1 acre per day. Density, tree size and terrain change the pace on every tract.
