Land Clearing
Wooded lots, overgrown acreage and future homesites cleared with our own dozer — trees and brush out, clean workable dirt left behind.

Pollard's Dozer Service does fence line clearing in Buna, TX and across Jasper, Orange, Hardin, Newton and Jefferson counties. Our tracked forestry mulcher grinds the brush, vines and small trees in a fence row while the fence stays standing. Tree line clearing and property line clearing work the same way, and the keeper trees stay put. Where no fence stands yet, our dozer cuts a new line through the woods so a fence can go in.
A fence line job stays on the strip you want opened, from one corner to the next. When a whole lot or the floor of the woods has grown up, that job is brush and underbrush clearing. Mulching a whole tract, a trail or a shooting lane is forestry mulching, and opening acreage is land clearing. Each job starts with a free on-site estimate, where we come look at your ground and the line.

Plenty of rain and a long growing season let brush close a fence line fast here. NOAA's 1991 to 2020 normals give Port Arthur 62.13 inches of rain in a normal year. USDA gives the Evadale soil series of Southeast Texas a frost-free period of 240 to 300 days. Its woods are mainly loblolly pine, water oak and sweetgum, and their seedlings come up in an open line.
A study from the Arthur Temple College of Forestry and Agriculture at Stephen F. Austin looked at yaupon, Chinese privet and Chinese tallow spreading in East Texas woods. Birds spread tallow seed, and the U.S. Forest Service reports 24 bird species eating that seed in coastal Texas. Tallow also sprouts back hard after it is cut. In coastal Texas, the tallest sprouts reached 11 to 12 feet a year after cutting.
It depends on whether a fence is still standing on the line you want cleared. Along a standing fence, our tracked mulcher grinds the brush, vines and small trees in place. The fence stays up, and the ground-up brush stays on the ground as mulch. Tree lines and property lines get the same work, and the keeper trees you want saved stay standing.
Where no fence stands yet, a new line through the woods is dozer work. The dozer pushes trees and brush into piles out of the way and opens a lane for the new fence. If the lane needs smoothing after that, the next step is land grading and leveling. On the free on-site estimate, we look at the line and tell you which machine fits it.
Buna sits in Jasper County, and USDA's Evadale soil series has its type location near Evadale in the same county. Across Southeast Texas, mainly east of the Trinity River, USDA says it is used mostly for timber and native pasture. It is poorly drained, and water moves through it very slowly. Through the cool season, it stays saturated from the surface down to its clay layer.
Our tracked machines are light on soft ground, but after a wet spell the line has to dry out. NOAA's normals for Port Arthur make February the driest month at 3.09 inches and August the wettest at 6.89. February still falls in the cool season, when this soil stays saturated, so timing comes down to the last rain. We clear fence lines in Buna, Kirbyville, Mauriceville, Silsbee and Evadale, and throughout the surrounding counties.
We clear the line, and the fence work stays with you or your fence builder. We do not build, repair or remove fence, set posts or stretch wire. We also do not spray the line, and we do not survey or mark property lines. You end up with an open line and room to build a new fence or fix the old one.
We clear your side of the fence, and the neighbor's side needs the neighbor's OK first. If you are not sure where the line runs, have it marked before work starts. When a job moves dirt, the free call to 811 must be made at least two business days before digging. When you are ready, ask for a free on-site estimate and we will come look at your ground.
From the first walk of the property to the last pass of the blade, here is exactly how it goes.
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.
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.
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.
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.
