Professional Land Clearing in Smithville
Smithville sits along the Colorado River in the southern Lost Pines, with loblolly pine, post oak, and yaupon defining the landscape. Legacy Oak Land Clearing provides forestry mulching, wildfire mitigation, and brush clearing throughout Smithville and the surrounding area.
Wildfire mitigation is one of the most critical services we provide here. A well-mulched 30–100 ft defensible-space perimeter around homes is the best protection against fast-moving pine-country fires.
We also handle yaupon understory clearing — the dense thickets that act as fuel ladders into the pines are both a fire hazard and an obstacle to native grass recovery. Mulching solves both problems in a single pass.
Every Smithville project is fixed-price after a free on-site visit. We work regularly along SH-71 and the FM 153 / FM 535 corridors.

Smithville Land Clearing FAQs
How much does land clearing cost in Smithville?
Smithville forestry mulching typically runs $1,700–$3,200 per acre. Yaupon-heavy understory work comes in higher. Defensible-space perimeters around homes are often quoted as a flat fee.
Do you bring your own equipment to Smithville?
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 Smithville job site.
Will forestry mulching damage my soil or existing oaks in Smithville?
No — quite the opposite. Forestry mulching leaves a 2"–4" layer of organic mulch that retains moisture, suppresses regrowth, and slowly enriches the sandy Bastrop 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 Smithville?
Most Smithville 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 Bastrop 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 Smithville or Bastrop.
