Land Clearing Services in Central Texas
Cedar Eaters performed this land clearing service on a 400-acre property near Meridian, Texas in Bosque County. In just under two weeks, we opened up a little more than 54 acres and cleared cedars from around numerous desirable hardwoods.
The landowner will now experience the benefit of mulching, as his native pasture land has been returned, leaving a light layer of beneficial mulch that will enhance his native grass growth. With time, they will also notice that their oaks will thicken in canopy coverage as they flourish from the increased moisture retained by the blanket of insulating mulch left underneath them.

Cedar Mulching in Meridian and Bosque County
Bosque County sits where the Hill Country limestone gives way to blackland prairie, and properties here often have both — shallow rocky ridges running down into heavy clay bottoms. Ashe juniper takes the ridges and the draws, crowding out grass and pulling water that native grasses and hardwoods would otherwise use. Most of the work we do around Meridian is reclamation: opening up pasture that’s been lost to cedar over fifteen or twenty years, restoring sightlines across a property, and getting grass to come back without stripping the topsoil to do it.
Forestry mulching suits this county well. Grinding cedar in place leaves a mulch layer that holds soil on the slopes and breaks down into the ground rather than leaving bare dirt that washes at the first heavy rain. No burn piles means no waiting on a county burn ban to lift.

Common Questions About Land Clearing in Bosque County
Rarely all of it. Selective clearing that leaves hardwood mottes and cover for wildlife usually produces better grass recovery and better hunting than clearing fence to fence. We’ll walk it with you and lay out what’s worth keeping.
No. A mulch layer of a few inches suppresses regrowth of the cedar you just removed while grass comes up through it. On slopes it’s doing double duty as erosion control.
Usually the first full growing season after clearing, faster where there’s an existing seed bank in the soil. Properties that have been under dense cedar for decades sometimes need reseeding.
Yes. Mulching existing piles is common work for us in this county — it clears the ground without burning and puts the material back into the soil.
