Why is cedar such a big problem in Williamson County?
Ashe juniper (mountain cedar) is an aggressive invasive species that spreads rapidly, consumes large amounts of groundwater, crowds out native grasses and hardwoods, and increases wildfire risk. A mature cedar tree can consume up to 33 gallons of water per day.
When is the best time to clear brush or cedar in Texas?
Late fall through winter is generally the best window, since vegetation is dormant and the ground is easier to access. We clear land year-round and can prioritize urgent jobs any time.
Do I need a permit to clear land in Williamson County?
Most residential brush clearing doesn't require a permit, but larger projects tied to construction, drainage changes, or work near protected trees or waterways may need county or city approval. We can help you figure out whether your project needs one.
Will cedar grow back after clearing?
Cedar can regrow from stumps and seed if untreated. We offer stump treatment and return-visit maintenance plans to keep cedar from reclaiming cleared land, typically every 12 to 24 months depending on the property.
