Land Clearing in Cypress, TX

Land clearing and lot clearing in Cypress, from thick woods northeast of US 290 to prairie brush, with free estimates.

Land Clearing in Cypress, TX

Need land clearing in Cypress, TX? MTM Land Clearing Services clears wooded lots and overgrown acreage across Cypress, one of Houston's largest suburbs. The area is unincorporated Harris County and runs along US 290, roughly between FM 529 and Highway 249. We come to Cypress from our base in Spring, to the northeast in Montgomery County. Call (281) 432-7360 for a free estimate, and tell us how you plan to use the land.

US 290 splits Cypress into two kinds of ground. Northeast of the highway, the land is forested and thickly wooded, so a building lot usually needs clearing and grubbing. That means the trees and brush come down and the stumps and root mats come out. Southwest of 290 is mostly ranch land and grassy prairie with scrub brush and scattered live oaks and post oaks. There the work leans toward brush clearing, and we mulch around the oaks you want to keep.

You choose what happens to the cleared debris. We mulch it on site with the forestry mulching head or haul it off in our trucks and roll-off containers. Overgrown pond banks and drainage ditches get a remote-controlled compact machine that fits where bigger equipment cannot. We take jobs anywhere in Cypress, from established communities like Stone Gate to growing ones like Bridgeland and Dunham Pointe. Estimates are free, and MTM is fully insured.

Our Land Clearing & Site-Work Services in Cypress

Land clearing and lot clearing lead our Cypress work. Brush clearing and forestry mulching take care of prairie brush and old pasture. Tree removal takes down big pines and oaks, and stump grinding handles what is left. Site preparation, with grading and dirt work, gets a house pad ready. We also do excavation, trenching, demolition of old houses and barns, and fence line mulching.

Local Conditions in Cypress

Land Clearing Built for Cypress Ground

Cypress sits entirely inside Houston's extraterritorial jurisdiction but outside any city, so site work answers to Harris County. The Office of the County Engineer requires a permit for all development and serves as the floodplain administrator. Its definition of development names filling, grading, paving, and excavation, but not clearing vegetation. That definition is open-ended, though, so we check what your parcel needs during the free estimate. Along Cypress Creek, stretches of coastal prairie are broken up by forests of pine and oak. The USDA's Hockley soil series, first described in Harris County, follows this inland edge of the coastal prairie. It has sandy topsoil over sandy clay loam, with a perched water table 3.5 to 6 feet down in winter. Cypress lies in the Cypress Creek and Little Cypress Creek watershed. Floodplain lots carry extra fill rules, so we check them against the flood map first. Cypress stayed mostly rural until the early 1990s. Bridgeland alone covers 11,500 acres of old rice fields and pasture. Segment E of the Grand Parkway, opened in December 2013, runs right through it.

Areas we serve in & around Cypress: Bridgeland, Towne Lake, Fairfield, Coles Crossing, Cypress Creek Lakes, Stone Gate, Dunham Pointe, Telge Road, Huffmeister Road, Spring-Cypress Road.

If you need land cleared and trees removed don’t hesitate to call MTM Land Clearing Services. I needed to clear about 3 acres — they showed up with state of the art equipment and got the job done at the quoted price…

The owner was professional, timely, and thorough. He cleared some land for us in Conroe and hauled away everything, including debris that was left over from the previous owner. It was something he did extra — on his own accord…

Cypress FAQs

Land Clearing in Cypress: Common Questions

Local answers on permits, cost, and what to expect on Cypress property.

Call (281) 432-7360

How much does land clearing cost in Cypress, TX?
It depends on the ground. A thickly wooded lot northeast of 290 takes more machine time than prairie brush on open pasture. Tree size, stumps and root mats, wet spots, and access all change the work. So does your choice to mulch the debris or haul it off. For market ranges, see our guide to land clearing cost per acre in Texas. Your exact number comes from a free estimate.
Do I need a permit to clear land in Cypress, TX?
Cypress is unincorporated, so Harris County's Office of the County Engineer handles permits. The county requires a permit for development, and its examples include filling, grading, paving, and excavation. Clearing vegetation is not named, but the list is open-ended, and floodplain parcels carry their own rules. We check what your parcel needs during the free estimate. Our guide to land clearing permits in Harris County has the details.
Can I clear land near Cypress Creek or in the floodplain?
Check the flood map first. Clearing itself is not named as development, but fill and grading are, and the floodplain adds its own rules. No fill is allowed in a floodway. In the 100-year floodplain, fill cannot be used to raise a building. Lost 500-year floodplain storage has to be offset one to one. Lowest floors sit at least 24 inches above the 500-year level, or 12 inches above the street crown if higher.
Is clearing prairie brush different from clearing a wooded lot?
Yes. Prairie and old pasture southwest of 290 usually need brush clearing. The mulching head grinds scrub brush and saplings in place, so little needs hauling. A wooded lot northeast of 290 is heavier work. If you plan to build, the stumps and root mats come out too. The free estimate sorts out what your parcel needs.
What happens to the trees and brush after you clear my land?
That is your call. We can mulch brush and small trees on site, which leaves a mulch layer on the ground. Or we haul the debris off in our trucks and roll-off containers. Stumps and root mats come out as part of clearing and grubbing. Texas law requires a call to 811 two business days before any digging.
