Professional Land Clearing in Castroville
Castroville — the 'Little Alsace of Texas' — sits along the Medina River in eastern Medina County, where historic architecture, mature oaks, and rolling ranchland create a unique Hill Country setting. Legacy Oak Land Clearing provides forestry mulching, cedar removal, and selective brush clearing throughout Castroville and the surrounding area.
Most Castroville work is selective clearing — removing invasive Ashe juniper from the understory, opening up Hill Country views, and creating defensible space without touching the heritage oaks that define the landscape. Our equipment has the agility to work between mature trees without scarring trunks or compacting roots.
We also handle ranch-scale clearing on the larger acreage west of town, where cedar reclamation and pasture restoration are the primary goals. Because we mulch in place, there are no slash piles to burn or haul off.
Every Castroville quote is fixed-price after a free on-site visit. We batch with Hondo and Natalia work for competitive Medina County pricing.

Castroville Land Clearing FAQs
How much does land clearing cost in Castroville?
Castroville forestry mulching typically runs $1,600–$3,000 per acre. Selective river-corridor work tends to come in lower per acre because we're not removing 100% of the canopy. Every quote is fixed-price after a free site visit.
Do you bring your own equipment to Castroville?
Yes. We arrive with our own compact track loaders, mulching heads, and rock grinders on a heavy-duty trailer. There is no need for you to provide power, water, or any equipment — we are fully self-contained on every Castroville job site.
Will forestry mulching damage my soil or existing oaks in Castroville?
No — quite the opposite. Forestry mulching leaves a 2"–4" layer of organic mulch that retains moisture, suppresses regrowth, and slowly enriches the rocky Medina County soil. We work carefully around mature oaks, cedars you want to keep, and any specimen trees you point out before we start.
How fast can you start a project in Castroville?
Most Castroville projects are scheduled within 1–2 weeks of your free site visit. For wildfire-mitigation emergencies or property closings, we can often move faster — call (512) 641-5658 and we'll do our best to fit you in.
Are you licensed and insured to work in Medina County?
Yes. Legacy Oak Land Clearing is fully licensed and carries general liability and equipment insurance. We can provide a Certificate of Insurance for your HOA, builder, or lender on request before any work begins in Castroville or Hondo.
