Your land has a story to tell, and that story may include the native, environmentally important Ashe juniper (cedar). At Texas Wildscapes’ Billy Goat Clearing LLC, we make a distinction between land clearing and land restoration. Unless the goal is to restore grasslands, the complete removal of Ashe juniper populations in a given area may not be restorative for forests or wildlife. Whether the objective is land clearing for usable space or land restoration for healthier ecosystems, we are fully capable of providing land services that align with the goals of the landowner.
Whether you are reclaiming your backyard, prepping for a new build, or improving land, we believe that land clearing in Canyon Lake TX can be done in a responsible manner. Our approach focuses on keeping your land strong, helping your soil stay intact, and preparing your property for whatever comes next. Bulldozers and other heavy equipment with shredder attachments are efficient and sometimes a cheaper option for land clearing. However, these methods also have destructive, long-term second- and third-order consequences that should be considered. Bulldozers disrupt important insect and soil microbiomes in topsoil and kill desirable grasses and understory plants. Shredders leave behind ragged stumps and produce thick mats of coarse wood debris. These mats, which take much longer to decompose than fine mulch, can effectively kill trees and prevent new growth by sealing the soil off from oxygen and water movement. Another important consequence of using heavy equipment is soil compaction in the root zones of desirable trees. In most situations, the nutrient- and water-absorbing root hairs of a tree are present within the first six inches of soil. If that soil is compacted by heavy equipment, the soil porosity critical for water, oxygen, and nutrient uptake is destroyed, leading to potentially serious decline in tree health. Compacted soil is also susceptible to water runoff and erosion. At Texas Wildscapes’ Billy Goat Clearing, our Canyon Lake land clearing techniques include least-destructive methods of manual clearing and forestry mulching: minimizing environmental destruction, contributing to soil health, and improving growing conditions for trees and other desirable plant species.
What we do revolves mostly around sustainability. Low-impact methods help us to maximize the long-term health of your property by reducing disturbance. We transform cut vegetation into mulch that preserves the soil and supplies nutrients for the next phase of land use instead of simply disposing of it or burning it away. Our land clearing Canyon Lake TX approach gives your land the best chance to stay rich and healthy for many years to come.
