Land Clearing
Wooded lots, overgrown acreage and future homesites cleared with our own dozer — trees and brush out, clean workable dirt left behind.

Dozer work out of Buna is where this company started back in 1990. A dozer is a blade on tracks. It pushes growth out of the way, piles it, spreads dirt, and cuts ground to grade. The tracks spread the weight, so the machine keeps working on soft ground that stops wheels. Most bulldozer services come down to those four moves. We have run dozer work on small lots and on whole tracts, family owned and operated for three generations.
Our dozer runs alongside an excavator and a tracked mulcher, so the right machine goes on the right job. A lot of dozer work starts as dozer clearing, with the blade pushing trees and brush into piles. Other days it is pond digging and banking, where the blade shapes the dirt into a bank that holds. Every job starts the same way. We come look at your ground for free and tell you what the dozer can do with it.

The blade is the difference. A dozer pushes material ahead of it in bulk, then piles it, spreads it and cuts ground to grade. Wide tracks float the weight, so it keeps moving on wet or sandy ground. That is why the dozer is the first machine on most clearing and dirt jobs. Bulldozer work moves the most material with the least fuss, and it leaves a surface you can build on.
The other two machines do different work. An excavator sits and digs, then lifts what it digs, which is what digging ponds, basins and ditches calls for. The mulcher grinds standing brush and small trees where they stand. That is forestry mulching, and it leaves chips on the ground instead of a pile. Moving a big pile of dirt across a site is the dozer's job. The dozer is the machine this company is named for.
Most dozer work around here falls into a handful of jobs. The biggest is the clearing push. The blade takes out trees and brush and stacks them in piles out of the way. That is the heart of our land clearing jobs, and roots come out with the push. Once the ground is open, the same dozer builds it back. It cuts house and barn pads to grade, then spreads fill in layers until the pad sits level.
The dozer also cuts lanes. It opens a road through the pines to a homesite or a pond site. That lane often turns into one of our gravel drives and ranch roads. On water jobs the blade pushes and shapes pond dams and banks until they hold their line. We run this work out of Buna and take it all across Texas. Close to home that means Evadale, Kirbyville, Silsbee, Vidor and Orange.
Rain sets the calendar here. NOAA's 1991 to 2020 normals for the Port Arthur airport station put a normal year at 62.13 inches of rain. August is the wettest month at 6.89 inches and February the driest at 3.09. So the ground gets a long wet stretch in summer and a drier one in late winter. Dozer work goes faster and cleaner in those dry windows, and it leaves less damage behind.
The dirt matters as much as the rain. The Evadale soil series has its type location in Jasper County. It is poorly drained, with very slow permeability, and saturated from the surface through the cool season. South of us the Beaumont clay runs 42 to 60 percent clay and drains just as slowly. Some of the ground we work is sand and sheds a rain in a day. Wet clay smears and ruts under the tracks, so we pick our days. Our guide to the best time of year to work ground has more.
It starts with a free on-site estimate. We come out, look at what is standing, and see how water moves across the ground. Have your property lines marked and know what stays and what goes. Gate width and access matter too, because the machine has to get in. Before anything gets dug, utilities have to be located. The Railroad Commission of Texas says the call to 811 is free. It must be made at least two business days before digging, so we build that wait into the plan.
We keep the scope plain. The dozer moves dirt on your place, and material brought in gets spread and shaped with the blade. Concrete and asphalt belong to a different trade. Finish grading is its own step, and land grading and leveling is where that job lives. Weather and the size of the tract set the pace. When your ground is ready for a look, request a free on-site estimate and we will set a time.
From the first walk of the property to the last pass of the blade, here is exactly how it goes.
We come see the property — the trees, the brush, the ground under it, and how wet it runs. What you want cleared, what's worth keeping, and what the job really takes. No blind quotes over the phone.
You get a free estimate with a real number and a real timeline. It covers what's included — clearing, dirt, shaping, debris — and it holds unless the scope changes.
The dozer, excavator or mulcher shows up when we said and does the job the way we quoted it. Anything unexpected in the ground, you hear about it immediately, not on the invoice.
We walk the finished ground with you before we call it done. Clean lines, shaped banks, a pad you can build on or a pasture you can mow. Done means you say it's done.

Dozer, excavator and tracked mulcher under one roof. Clearing, dirt work, grading and the pond get done as one job with one estimate — not three contractors pointing at each other.
We walk the property, tell you what the ground actually needs — and what it does not — and hand you a real number. No phone guesses, no surprise extras.
Sandy uplands, gumbo clay bottoms, wet winters and brush that never quits — this is the only dirt we have ever worked, and we build for what it does.
