★★★★★
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.

Land Clearing Work We Do Across Hays County
Land Clearing in Wimberley and the Blanco River Corridor
Wimberley sits at the confluence of the Blanco River and Cypress Creek, surrounded by some of the most cedar-dense terrain in Central Texas. Land clearing in and around Wimberley requires care and the right equipment: forestry mulching is our standard method here because it leaves ground cover on banks and slopes where erosion is a real concern after rain events, and because the Blanco River watershed demands that kind of restraint. We work ranch and large-acreage properties throughout the Wimberley area, from clearing new development tracts on the rocky ridgelines to cedar management programs on larger tracts along the river corridor. We also serve Woodcreek, Fischer, Canyon Lake, and the rural areas of western Hays County.
Commercial Site Prep and New Development Clearing in Buda and Kyle
The growth corridor running along US-35 through Buda and Kyle has made commercial site prep one of the most common calls we get from Hays County landowners. New development tracts in this part of the county tend to have lighter brush and flatter terrain than the western Hill Country portions of Hays, which means faster clearing times and more straightforward grading work. We work directly with developers, builders, and civil contractors to clear and prep large-acreage tracts in Buda, Kyle, San Marcos, and Uhland on the timelines their projects require. We also serve the growing development in Niederwald and unincorporated southeastern Hays County.
Ranch Land and Cedar Management in Western Hays County
Western Hays County, from Wimberley toward Dripping Springs and into the Driftwood corridor, is classic cedar belt. Cedar encroachment on ranch land here follows the pattern of the rest of the Edwards Plateau: decades of fire suppression and changing land use have allowed Ashe juniper to spread across what was once productive native grass. Cedar removal in this terrain requires tracked equipment that handles the rocky slopes without tearing up the hillside the way a wheeled machine or a dozer would on steep ground. We bring that equipment to Hays County ranch clearing jobs regularly, and we understand the land management goals, from pasture productivity to wildlife habitat to water recovery, that drive most cedar clearing on this side of the county.
Excavation and Pond Work in Hays County
Earthwork and excavation in Hays County covers commercial site prep in the fast-growing eastern communities, pond and stock tank construction for ranch properties in the western Hill Country, and road and driveway work throughout the county. We build earthen ponds and stock tanks for landowners who need reliable livestock water on Hays County ranch land, including site selection, dam design, excavation, and spillway installation. For new development tracts in Buda, Kyle, and San Marcos, we deliver rough grading, foundation prep, and coordination with the concrete contractor. Rock road and driveway construction for rural Hays County properties is also regular work for us.
Why Apache Mulching

Common Questions
Hays County Land Clearing FAQ
Do you serve all of Hays County?
Yes. We work throughout Hays County: Wimberley, Buda, Kyle, San Marcos, Dripping Springs, Driftwood, Woodcreek, and unincorporated areas in between. If you have land in Hays County that needs clearing, call us and we will schedule a site visit.
What is the best clearing method for Hill Country terrain in Hays County?
Forestry mulching is the right call on the rocky limestone slopes and cedar-heavy terrain common in the western half of Hays County. It keeps soil disturbance low and leaves ground cover in place on slopes where erosion is a concern. For flatter eastern parts of the county with lighter brush, dozing and grading move faster.
Is cedar removal worth it on Hays County ranch land?
For most Hays County landowners, yes. Cedar removal recovers native grass, reduces water consumption on the property, and can restore springs and seeps that went dry under dense cedar. Pasture productivity improves and the land becomes more usable and more marketable. The investment typically pays off within a few growing seasons.
Can you clear land near Cypress Creek and the Blanco River?
Yes. We work near water features throughout Hays County. Forestry mulching is preferred in riparian zones because it leaves ground cover in place, reduces runoff, and avoids the soil disruption of dozing. We follow best practices for buffer zones near creeks and the river corridor.
How do you quote a clearing job in Hays County?
We come to your property, walk the land with you, and give you a firm quote based on what we see. We do not quote clearing jobs over the phone. What is in the ground, how dense the brush is, and how the terrain lays all affect pricing. The site visit is free and takes about 30 minutes.
