Two kinds of country around San Angelo

San Angelo grew up where the North and South Concho rivers meet, on the northwestern edge of the Edwards Plateau. Tom Green County splits into two kinds of land: Osage Plains to the east, mostly farmed, and Edwards Plateau ranch country to the north, west and far southwest. Mesquite grows throughout the county, and pecans line the river bottoms.

That split shapes the work. On plateau ranch land, mesquite and brush close in on grazing country, and forestry mulching takes it down in one pass without burn piles. On farmed ground and tracts headed for building, grubbing pulls the roots so the ground can be worked. Soils run from silty clay loams to stony clays, so we check footing and access at the estimate.

River bottoms, lakes and the edges of town

The city has three lakes, Twin Buttes Reservoir, O.C. Fisher Reservoir and Lake Nasworthy, and the Concho river bottoms run right through it. Private land along the water fills in with thick brush, and brush clearing opens it back up while keeping the pecans and oaks you want.

San Angelo grew from 93,200 people in 2010 to 99,893 in 2020, and that growth means acreage on the edges being readied to sell or build. Land clearing takes a tract back to usable ground, and junk removal hauls off old fencing and debris in the same trip. San Angelo is toward the west side of our range; Abilene is to the northeast, Brady is east on US 87, and the service area page has the rest.

FAQs: San Angelo

Land clearing in San Angelo: common questions

How far is San Angelo from DropTine?

About 100 miles. We drive west from Early on US 67 through Santa Anna and Ballinger. That's inside our roughly 150-mile range, so San Angelo and most of Tom Green County are jobs we take. Call with your property's location and we'll confirm.

What's the best way to handle mesquite on Concho Valley pasture?

For grazing land, forestry mulching grinds mesquite and brush to the ground in one pass and leaves the mulch to protect the soil. Mesquite can sprout back from its base, so where you're farming, fencing or building, grubbing pulls the roots out. Plenty of jobs use some of each.

Do you work on ranch land outside San Angelo?

Yes. Much of Tom Green County to the north, west and far southwest is Edwards Plateau ranch country, and that's work we're set up for: pasture reclamation, fence lines, ranch roads and hunting land. Tell us roughly where the property is when you call.

Can you clear brush along the Concho river bottoms?

On private land, yes. Bottomland can stay soft after rain, so we check ground conditions and access during the estimate and schedule around wet spells. Where there are pecans or oaks you want to keep, we clear around them.

How much does land clearing cost in San Angelo?

It depends on the acreage, how thick the growth is and which method fits. We give you a clear price at a free on-site estimate before work begins. There's no minimum acreage, but every job carries a two-day minimum billing, and at 100 miles from Early we explain how that fits your project up front.

Do I need to be on site while you clear my San Angelo property?

Usually not. Once the scope is set at the estimate, we can do the work without you there and let you know when it's finished. Gates, livestock and access are worked out ahead of time.
