Welcome to Texas Wildscapes’ Billy Goat Clearing LLC, where our mission goes beyond trimming trees. We help landowners reclaim property from overgrown cedar thickets, brush, and storm-damaged forests. The Texas Hill Country is renowned for its rugged beauty, but years of unchecked Ashe Juniper (cedar) growth may have affected the biodiversity of your land. Cedar thickets reduce the availability of water, light, and soil nutrients necessary for the flourishing of other plant species. That is where we can make a difference! Our land clearing Hays County TX services are offered to restore your property: recover grasslands, open up forests for new growth, improve wildlife habitats, and preserve land for future generations.
Land clearing in Hays County TX is an opportunity to address values of good stewardship and conservation while making decisions about how to utilize your property.

Whether your goals involve cedar removal or thinning to mitigate wildfire risk, restoring forest biodiversity and grasslands, or preparing a building site, we take a “lightest footprint possible” approach: accentuating the natural beauty of your property while minimizing soil ecosystem disruption.

The Texas Hill Country is a place of unique, natural beauty derived from an environment that must be managed with care. At Texas Wildscapes’ Billy Goat Clearing LLC, we recognize the need to conserve and protect our natural resources while simultaneously improving the utility and productivity of your land. Serving Hays County, Blanco, Canyon Lake, Dripping Springs, Driftwood, Fischer, Wimberley, and the rural areas of Kyle and San Marcos, we assist property owners in creating vibrant, healthy wildscapes from overgrown areas.
Restoring land is about enabling the land to realize its natural potential. If overgrown cedar thickets, heavy underbrush, and storm-damaged trees are present, the risk of wildfire intensity and spread increases. Other native trees, grasses and ground cover plants are crowded out as cedar thickets compete for available groundwater, soil nutrients, and light. In the Texas Hill Country, our specialized land clearing and land restoration techniques create space for other native hardwood trees and grasses to flourish, while also reducing soil erosion and increasing groundwater retention. Using precise and least-destructive methods, we create sustainable wildscapes that generate long-term benefits for the environment as well as for the landowner.
At Texas Wildscapes’ Billy Goat Clearing, we believe that every piece of land has a purpose, and we are here to help you uncover it.
Whether you are restoring pastures, grasslands, or forests, building trails, or getting ready for new development, we spend time learning about your goals and creating a strategy for your site. Our commitment to quality, sustainability, and customer satisfaction is what sets us apart in the Texas Hill Country.

Choosing the right team for land clearance goes beyond simply selecting someone with equipment; it also involves working with experts who respect the land, are knowledgeable, and approach land clearing and restoration carefully. At Texas Wildscapes’ Billy Goat Clearing, our work is motivated by a desire to restore and conserve land for future generations. Our primary goal is to support efforts to enhance and sustain the beauty of the natural environment in the Texas Hill Country through our core work: managing native Ashe juniper populations to increase forest biodiversity, eradicating invasive plant species, enhancing soil quality and groundwater retention, and improving sustainable wildlife habitats.
Although native to the Texas Hill Country and a beneficial tree for wildlife, unmanaged propagation of Ashe junipers (commonly known as cedar trees) leads to monocultural thickets that are impassable and create heavy fuel potential for wildfires. The fast-growing Ashe juniper competes with and prevails over other native hardwoods, understory trees, plants, and grasses for water, nutrients in the soil, and light. In the Texas Hill Country, our precise and light-footprint cedar clearing and thinning services improve the health and sustainability of your property: fostering the growth and maintenance of balanced forest ecologies and healthier grasslands, while also reducing available fuel in the event of a wildfire.

Selective cedar clearing and thinning in the Texas Hill Country is one of the most common needs for new landowners. The native Ashe juniper (commonly referred to as a cedar tree) is an important species in our natural environment, contributing to soil retention and new soil production while also providing habitat and food for native wildlife, including the endangered Golden-cheeked warbler. However, if left unmanaged, the fast-growing Ashe juniper can quickly overrun large areas of forests and grasslands, outcompeting for available groundwater, soil nutrients, and light. Clear-cutting cedar trees, however, is not always the best answer for the health of the land or for wildlife. Considerations should be made for the tree canopy cover, especially on sloped areas, to protect against soil erosion and water run-off. Removing entire stands of cedars from around larger oaks and other hardwoods can lead to a loss of wind break and comingled root support, resulting in sudden tree failures during high wind events. On larger properties where wildlife habitat improvement is a goal, it may be beneficial to allow some areas of cedar thicket to remain intact to provide shelter for deer, turkey, foxes, armadillos, porcupines, etc.
Our areas of expertise also include brush control and mulching, which lowers the potential risk from wildfire spread and intensity by creating fuel breaks: converting understory deadwood and vegetation clutter to fine mulch and spreading it. Spreading mulch at an appropriate depth around trees is also very beneficial: reducing competition from other flora, retaining moisture in the soil, and adding important organic matter to the soil as it decomposes.

To help landowners in the Texas Hill Country reclaim the natural beauty and productivity of their properties, Texas Wildscapes’ Billy Goat Clearing specializes in professional cedar removal, cedar thinning, and storm damage remediation in forested areas. Proper management of the profligate Ashe juniper (commonly referred to as a cedar tree) is an important component of the long-term health of your forests, grasslands, and wildlife habitats. Complete cedar removal may be ideal in some areas (e.g., reclamation of grasslands) or for specific applications (e.g., for construction sites, roadways, etc.). Alternative management techniques, such as selective cedar thinning and careful cleanup of storm damaged trees, may be a better option when the goal is to retain important wildlife habitat, encourage healthy forest growth, increase groundwater retention, and protect against soil erosion.
After the initial land clearing or land restoration work is completed, new cedar growth will occur around and underneath existing trees and within grasslands as Ashe juniper seeds from other areas are spread by wildlife. Periodic, routine monitoring and scheduled maintenance is recommended every 5 to 7 years to control new-growth cedar and inspect the overall condition of forested areas.
Texas Wildscapes’ Billy Goat Clearing is your reliable partner in establishing and maintaining healthy forests and grasslands. As your neighbors in Hays County and the Texas Hill Country, we offer professional land clearing and land restoration services that respect land and water conservation efforts, as well as the sustainability of limited natural resources. Call us now for a free on-site consultation to find out how our high-quality cedar removal, cedar thinning, and storm damage remediation services can help you transform your property into a beautiful and useful wildscape!
