Gatesville Land Clearing
Cattle Country Clearing in Coryell County
Gatesville is a working cattle town on the Leon River, and the land around it has been run as grazing country for well over a century. That history is written into the brush problem. Long grazing pressure and no fire meant juniper and mesquite moved steadily out of the draws and onto open range.
Apache Mulching clears Coryell County ranch ground with grass production as the goal. That usually means selective work. We open the uplands and the pasture and leave the draw cover that holds a place together. We offer mulching even in rocky terrain thanks to our steel track machines and special teeth, which is what this limestone country requires.

★★★★★
I am really glad I called in Apache to clear the land before we started building. It looks incredible. They made the land line clearly defined, as I requested. The final look to the property is great too. So glad we've worked together to prep this project.
★★★★★
Apache did a wonderful job clearing my property in record time. It was selective clearing requiring good communication and everything went smoothly. It was also a new property for me and heavily covered in dense jungle like coverage. Apache did a very nice job. I can highly recommend Apache for any clearing and mulching jobs.
★★★★★
They were on time every day and did what they said they could and would do for the price they said they could and would do it for. They had some good solutions for a few issues we needed to address. They are professional and awesome in their work ethic. The way things in the world are right now, that is saying a lot.
The Equipment
Built for Working Ranch Ground
Limestone uplands, Leon River bottom soil, and enough acreage that the machine has to keep running. We bring equipment that finishes.

Land Clearing Work We Do Around Gatesville
Recovering Carrying Capacity on Grazed Range
A Coryell County pasture that has been running cattle for generations without brush management will have lost a significant share of its grass production to juniper and mesquite. The trees take water and light, the grass thins, the soil gets less cover, and the cycle tightens. Reversing it starts with opening the canopy. Once the light reaches the ground again, the native grasses that are still in the seed bank come back on their own, generally within one or two growing seasons on this ground. We clear to a stocking goal, and we will tell you on site what the tract can realistically carry once it recovers.
Leon River Bottoms and Draw Work
The Leon River and its feeder draws run through most Gatesville-area ranches, and the bottoms behave differently from the uplands. Soil is deeper, hardwood is worth keeping, and the ground moves water during a rain event. We mulch in the bottoms and along the draws, hold back from the channel, and leave the cover that keeps a bank stable. Clearing a draw to bare dirt buys a season of tidiness and costs years of erosion.
Fence Lines, Gates, and Pipeline Access
Working ranches need lines that stay open. Fence rows brushed in to the point a four-wheeler cannot run them, gate approaches too tight for a trailer, and pipeline or utility corridors that need periodic clearing for access and inspection. Apache Mulching handles all of it, including fence and gate installation alongside the clearing. Cutting the line first is what makes the fence build fast.
Large-Acreage Clearing and Ranch Improvement
Coryell County jobs tend to be large, which suits how we are set up. Whole-pasture brush control, tracts being prepared for sale, and ranch improvement programs run over several phases. We also do the excavation work that follows the clearing, including stock ponds, ranch roads, and the dirt work that makes a place workable. Call us with the acreage and the goal and we will lay out the method and the sequence.
Coryell County Range Management
Why Coryell County Range Needs Brush Control
Grass is the product on this ground. Juniper and mesquite compete for the water and light that grass needs, and unmanaged they take more of it every year.
Stocking Rate
Opening a closed canopy is the single largest lever on grass production on Coryell County range. Carrying capacity follows the grass.
Water in the Profile
A mature juniper intercepts rainfall before it lands and draws heavily once it does. Thinning puts that water back where grass can use it.
Soil Cover
Mulched material left on the ground shades the soil, slows runoff, and breaks down into the profile over time.
Working Access
Open fence lines, gates, and ranch roads mean cattle work, fence repair, and pipeline inspection all get easier.
Common Questions
Gatesville Land Clearing FAQ
Do you clear land in Gatesville and Coryell County?
Yes. Apache Mulching works Gatesville, Copperas Cove, Evant, Jonesboro, Oglesby, and the surrounding Coryell County ranch country. We handle land clearing, cedar and mesquite removal, forestry mulching, excavation, and right of way work.
How much grass will I get back after clearing?
It depends on what is still in the seed bank and how long the canopy has been closed. On Coryell County range with a history of native grass, the response after opening the canopy is usually visible within one or two growing seasons. We will walk the tract and give you a straight read, not a figure we cannot stand behind.
Do you clear the whole pasture or leave cover?
Whichever the operation needs. Most ranchers here want open grass on the uplands with cover left in the draws for wildlife and shade. We clear to that target. If a tract needs to go flat for a specific reason we will do that too.
Do you do stock ponds and ranch roads?
Yes. Excavation is part of what we do, including stock ponds, ranch roads, pad work, and general dirt work. On most Gatesville jobs the clearing and the dirt work get scheduled together because the equipment is already on the place.
How large a job do you take in Coryell County?
We are set up for large acreage and whole-ranch work, and Coryell County is inside our regular range. Call with the acreage and the goal for the ground.
