Land Clearing in Graford & Possum Kingdom Lake, TX
This is home. Our shop is in Graford, so clearing a lake lot or a hunting tract around PK is a short drive, not a mobilization charge.
Clearing around Possum Kingdom is its own kind of job. Most lake lots are steep, the soil is thin over limestone, and the cedar (Ashe juniper) grows in solid stands down the slopes. The goal is usually not bare ground — it is opening the view to the water, getting a house site and a drive in, and leaving the good oaks standing.
Off the lake, the tracts around Graford are mesquite, cedar and shin oak on rolling pasture. Those get cleared for grazing, for a building site, or to make a place huntable again, and we grub the roots so the brush does not come straight back.
The ground around Graford
Shallow rock is the rule here, not the exception. On a lot above the water, the rock and the slope decide what equipment can work safely and where the debris can go, which is why every PK estimate is given after we have walked the lot.
What we do most here
- Selective clearing on lake lots — brush out, hardwoods kept
- View cuts down to the water
- House site and driveway corridor clearing
- Cedar break removal on hunting and weekend tracts
- Fence line and property line clearing
- Debris piled, burned when conditions allow, or hauled
Worth knowing before you start
- Burn bans. Palo Pinto County sets burn bans through its commissioners court and they come and go with the weather. We check before any pile is lit; when a ban is on, debris is piled to wait or hauled off.
- Burning rules. Texas allows burning of land-clearing debris on site, but not within 300 feet of a neighbor's occupied structure unless the smoke blows away from it. On tight lake lots that often means hauling instead of burning.
- Anything on the water. Docks and other facilities over the reservoir bed need a Brazos River Authority permit (PK Lake Office, (940) 779-2321). Clearing on your own lot above the shoreline is between you and us.

Land Clearing in Graford — questions we get
Can you clear a steep lake lot at Possum Kingdom without tearing it up?
Yes. On steep lots we use smaller machines, work across the slope rather than straight down it, and leave root mass and ground cover where the hill needs holding. Stripping a PK slope bare is how it ends up in the lake after the first hard rain.
Can you open up my view of the lake but keep the big trees?
That is one of the most common jobs we do around PK. We take the cedar and underbrush and limb up what stays, so you see the water through the oaks instead of losing them.
How much does land clearing cost around Graford?
Light brush and cedar runs about $1,500 to $2,500 an acre, medium density $2,500 to $5,000, and heavy clearing with stumps $5,000 to $8,000 and up. Steep lake lots are priced on site because the slope and access change the job.
