Cedar hills and creek bottoms around Brady

Brady is the McCulloch County seat, and it calls itself the Heart of Texas: the state's geographic center is about 15 miles northeast of town. The county sits on the Edwards Plateau, rolling to hilly, with the Brady Mountains running east to west across it. Brady Creek runs right through town, and Brady Lake, completed in 1963 for flood control and water supply, sits on the same creek.

The land here splits cleanly. The hills grow cedar and post oak; live oak, mesquite and pecan crowd the streams; and the soils run from deep black loam in the valleys to sandy uplands. Forestry mulching takes cedar down on the hillsides and leaves the soil in place, and brush clearing opens up creek-bottom thickets while keeping the pecans and live oaks.

A short haul down US 377

From Early it's about 50 miles south on US 377, crossing the Colorado River where it forms the line between Brown and McCulloch counties. That makes Brady the closest of our town pages after Brownwood. Brady is also a crossroads, where US 87, US 190, US 283 and US 377 all meet, so land in any direction from town is within easy reach.

With 5,118 people at the 2020 census, Brady is surrounded by open country, and jobs run from homesites at the edge of town to whole pastures. Land clearing, grubbing where roots need to come out and junk removal for old fencing and scrap often go together. San Angelo is west on US 87, Brownwood is back up US 377, and the service area page covers the rest.

FAQs: Brady

Land clearing in Brady: common questions

How far is Brady from DropTine?

About 50 miles. We come straight down US 377 from Early, across the Colorado River into McCulloch County. After Brownwood, Brady is the closest of the towns we have pages for, and anywhere around it is well within our roughly 150-mile range.

Can you clear cedar off the hills around Brady?

Yes. The hills in McCulloch County grow cedar and post oak, and that's what forestry mulching is built for: the mulcher grinds it where it stands and leaves the mulch on the slope, with no piles to burn or haul. If you want certain oaks kept, we mark them at the estimate and work around them.

Do you work on land along Brady Creek?

Yes, on private property. Creek-bottom ground can stay soft after a rain, so we check access and footing during the estimate and schedule around wet stretches. Live oaks and pecans along the creek can stay while the brush and mesquite come out.

How much does land clearing cost in Brady?

It depends on acreage, how thick the cedar or brush is and whether roots need to come out. We give you a clear price at a free on-site estimate before any work begins, and we explain our two-day minimum billing up front.

Is a small lot in Brady worth calling about?

Yes. There's no minimum acreage. Every job has a two-day minimum billing, though, so on a smaller lot it pays to combine work, like clearing the brush, pulling the stumps and hauling off old fencing in the same visit.

Do I need to be there while you work?

Usually not. Once the estimate is done and the scope is confirmed, we can clear your Brady property without you on site and let you know when it's finished.
