About Our Company
Family Owned & Operated for 3 Generations
Pollard's Dozer Service is a family owned and operated, Texas-based
LLC — est. in 1990. From our home base in Buna we provide land
development and forestry mulching throughout Texas: clearing land,
grinding brush, building pads, shaping grades and digging ponds. Word
of mouth built this business; we keep it by building trust with our
clients and serving with integrity.
Family owned and operated since 1990, with three generations on the same iron. The name on the machine is the family doing the work — and answering the phone.
One Crew, Whole Job
Dozer, excavator and tracked mulcher under one roof. Clearing, dirt work, grading and the pond get done as one job with one estimate — not three contractors pointing at each other.
Straight Answers, Free Estimates
We walk the property, tell you what the ground actually needs — and what it does not — and hand you a real number. No phone guesses, no surprise extras.
Southeast Texas Born
Sandy uplands, gumbo clay bottoms, wet winters and brush that never quits — this is the only dirt we have ever worked, and we build for what it does.
Our Services
Explore Our Services
From standing thicket to finished ground — clearing, dirt and water work for homes, land and businesses throughout Texas.
From the first walk of the property to the last pass of the blade, here is exactly how it goes.
1
Walk the Land
We come see the property — the trees, the brush, the ground under it, and how wet it runs. What you want cleared, what's worth keeping, and what the job really takes. No blind quotes over the phone.
2
Straight Estimate
You get a free estimate with a real number and a real timeline. It covers what's included — clearing, dirt, shaping, debris — and it holds unless the scope changes.
3
Bring the Iron
The dozer, excavator or mulcher shows up when we said and does the job the way we quoted it. Anything unexpected in the ground, you hear about it immediately, not on the invoice.
4
Leave It Right
We walk the finished ground with you before we call it done. Clean lines, shaped banks, a pad you can build on or a pasture you can mow. Done means you say it's done.

We're based in Buna and we provide service throughout Texas. Closest to home that's Buna, Evadale, Kirbyville, Vidor, Mauriceville, Orange, Silsbee, Lumberton, Kountze, Sour Lake, Jasper and down to Beaumont — but we travel. If you've got ground anywhere in Texas, call and the answer is usually yes.
What services do you offer?
If it's dirt or brush, it's probably our work: land clearing, brush and underbrush clearing, forestry mulching, dirt work and pad building, excavation, land grading and leveling, and pond construction. One family crew with a dozer, excavator and tracked mulcher — from wooded lot to build-ready ground.
Do you do stump grinding?
No — stump grinding is one thing we don't offer, and we'd rather tell you that straight than book a job we don't do. Tell us what you're trying to end up with, and we'll tell you honestly what our equipment handles and what it doesn't.
How much does land clearing cost?
It depends on the acreage, how thick the growth is, the ground conditions, and what you want done with the debris. That's why we look at the property first — the estimate is free, and you get a real number instead of a phone guess. For ballpark market ranges, see our land clearing cost guide on the blog.
What's the difference between land clearing and forestry mulching?
Clearing with the dozer removes trees and brush entirely — you end up with open, workable dirt, ready for grading or a pad. Forestry mulching grinds brush and small trees into mulch that stays on the ground, so there's no burn pile or haul-off and the topsoil stays put. We do both, and we'll tell you which fits your land and budget.
Can you build a pond on my property?
Yes — ponds are one of our favorite jobs. We dig and shape stock ponds and retention ponds, use the spoil dirt on site where it makes sense, and leave you clean, shaped banks. If you have a spot in mind, we'll come look at it and give you a straight answer on whether the ground will hold water and what it'll take.
How do estimates work?
They're free, and they happen at the property, not over the phone. Clearing and dirt prices live in details you can't see from a call — how thick the growth is, how wet the ground is, access for the equipment. We walk the land with you, talk through what you want, and give you a real number.
How do I get started?
Call (409) 289-0802 or (409) 673-8073, or send the form on this site. You'll be talking to the family, not a call center — we'll talk through the job, come walk the property with you, and get you a free estimate.
Land to clear, a pad to build, brush that's won too many summers, or a
pond you've been thinking about for years? Call or send the form and
we'll walk the property with you and hand you a free estimate — straight
answers from the family that's worked this dirt since 1990.
