Fort Bend County
Land Clearing
Complete Land Clearing for Development, Agriculture & Infrastructure
Overview
Land clearing is the essential first step in transforming raw, undeveloped property into productive land for construction, agriculture, or infrastructure projects. Lone Star JC Construction provides comprehensive land clearing services throughout Fort Bend County, removing trees, brush, stumps, and debris to prepare sites for their intended use.
Fort Bend County's landscape includes dense bottomland hardwoods along the Brazos River, overgrown agricultural land, and suburban parcels with mature tree cover. Each clearing project requires a tailored approach that considers tree density, site access, environmental regulations, and the project's end use.
Our land clearing capabilities range from selective clearing — preserving designated trees while removing unwanted vegetation — to complete clearing of multi-acre tracts for large-scale development. We handle everything from initial tree felling and brush removal to stump grinding, root raking, and topsoil stripping.
Owner Jesus Coria works directly with developers, landowners, and project engineers to develop clearing plans that balance development needs with environmental requirements. We coordinate with arborists when tree preservation is required and ensure compliance with local tree ordinances and wetland regulations.
Whether you're clearing 5 acres for a new commercial building or 200 acres for a master-planned community, Lone Star JC Construction has the equipment and experience to clear your site efficiently and prepare it for the next phase of development.

Project Types We Handle
Equipment & Technology
Our Process
Site Assessment & Permitting
We assess the property to determine tree density, species, site access, and any environmental constraints. Required permits are identified and obtained before clearing begins.
Boundary & Preservation Marking
Property boundaries are confirmed and protected trees, wetlands, or buffer zones are clearly marked. Equipment operators are briefed on the clearing limits.
Tree Felling & Timber Removal
Marketable timber is felled, sectioned, and removed. Remaining trees are pushed with dozers and stacked for disposal. Brush is mulched or hauled off-site.
Stump Removal & Root Raking
Stumps are ground or extracted based on project requirements. Root rakes clean the site of remaining root systems and debris, preparing a clean surface for earthwork.
Debris Disposal & Site Cleanup
All clearing debris is disposed of properly — burned (where permitted), hauled to licensed disposal facilities, or mulched on-site. The site is left clean and ready for grading.

Timeline Expectations
- Light brush clearing (1-5 acres): 1-2 weeks
- Medium density clearing (5-20 acres): 2-4 weeks
- Heavy timber clearing (20-50+ acres): 4-8 weeks
- Selective clearing with preservation: Add 25-50% additional time
Cost Considerations
Clearing costs depend on vegetation density, tree size, site access, and disposal method.
Heavy timber stands cost more to clear than light brush but may generate timber revenue to offset costs.
Stump removal adds cost but is essential for construction sites where subsurface obstructions would interfere with foundations or utilities.
Environmental restrictions (wetland buffers, tree preservation ordinances) can limit clearing methods and increase project duration.
