Land Clearing in Weatherford, TX
Land clearing is the process of removing trees, brush, stumps, and undergrowth from a property to prepare it for construction, landscaping, or improved use. In Parker County, land clearing demand is accelerating rapidly — Weatherford is growing at 5.46% annually according to recent census data, driving new residential construction on previously undeveloped acreage. Whether you are preparing a homesite, clearing fence rows, opening views on a ranch property, or removing overgrown brush, professional land clearing transforms unusable land into functional space.
L&L Landscape and Design provides land clearing services for residential properties and smaller acreage parcels throughout the Weatherford area. Our approach prioritizes selective clearing when possible — removing only the unwanted vegetation while preserving mature trees, native grass areas, and natural features worth keeping. This is a distinctly different approach from large-scale clearing operations that strip everything down to bare dirt.
For properties where clearing transitions into landscape design, we offer a significant advantage: the same team that clears your land also designs and installs your new landscape. This eliminates the communication gaps and duplicate mobilization costs that occur when separate contractors handle clearing and landscaping.
Land Clearing Services
Brush Removal
Parker County properties commonly accumulate dense brush growth — cedar (Ashe juniper), mesquite, greenbriar, and native understory. Left unmanaged, brush creates fire hazards, harbors pests, and reduces usable acreage. We cut, pile, and remove brush using equipment sized for residential and small acreage properties. Cedar removal is particularly popular in the Weatherford area, as these trees consume significant groundwater and crowd out native grasses.
Homesite Preparation
Preparing a homesite on raw acreage requires selective clearing, rough grading, and debris removal. We clear the building pad area plus buffer zones for driveway access, utility routing, and future landscaping. Our selective approach preserves mature live oaks, post oaks, and other desirable trees that provide shade, character, and property value. Many Weatherford homeowners find that preserving key trees during clearing saves thousands compared to planting equivalent specimens after construction.
Fence Row Clearing
Overgrown fence rows are a persistent issue on Parker County properties where cedar and brush grow into and around existing fencing. We clear fence lines to restore access for fence repair and replacement, improve property boundary visibility, and reduce fire fuel loads along perimeter lines. This is a practical, maintenance-driven service that most rural and semi-rural Weatherford properties need every 3-5 years.

Seasonal & Maintenance Services
Fall Cleanup
Weatherford's fall season brings heavy leaf drop from the region's abundant live oaks, post oaks, and pecan trees. Our fall cleanup service includes thorough leaf removal, dead plant material clearing, garden bed preparation for winter, and final mowing before dormancy. Proper fall cleanup prevents disease, removes pest overwintering sites, and sets a strong foundation for spring growth. We remove debris from the property — not just blow it to the curb. Most residential cleanups are completed in a single day.
Snow & Ice Services
While significant snowfall in Weatherford is uncommon (averaging only 1-2 inches annually), when winter storms hit North Texas they tend to be ice events that shut down unprepared properties for days. We offer responsive snow and ice removal for residential driveways, walkways, and patios. Our service focuses on safe, timely clearing that prevents slip hazards and protects hardscape surfaces from damage caused by improper ice removal techniques like metal shovels on natural stone.
Professional Mowing
Regular, professional mowing maintains your landscape investment year-round. We use commercial-grade equipment and proper mowing techniques — including appropriate blade height for Bermuda grass (1.5-2 inches) and St. Augustine (2.5-3 inches), sharp blades to prevent tearing, and alternating mowing patterns to prevent soil compaction and turf wear. Our client Kaleb Teverbaugh noted that Dan "did an absolutely exceptional job on our lawn and flowerbeds" giving his yard "the pop it needs." Regular mowing service is available weekly or bi-weekly during the growing season.
Very professional, actually showed up when he said he would, went above and beyond for me for a small old fencing haul off. Will definitely be using again for more landscaping to come!

Texas does not require a general permit for clearing vegetation on private residential land in most cases. However, specific situations may require permits or notifications: properties within city limits may have tree preservation ordinances (Weatherford does not currently have one for residential properties), land in a designated floodplain may require a floodplain development permit, and properties with wetland features may fall under federal Clean Water Act jurisdiction. Parker County does not impose additional clearing restrictions beyond state and federal requirements for standard residential parcels. Dan evaluates any potential permit requirements during the free consultation.
Yes. Weatherford, TX is experiencing significant growth at an annual rate of 5.46% according to recent population data. This growth is driven by the westward expansion of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex along the I-20 corridor, affordable land prices compared to cities closer to the urban core, and the construction of new residential subdivisions throughout Parker County. This growth directly drives demand for land clearing as undeveloped acreage is prepared for new home construction, as well as demand for landscape design as new homeowners invest in their properties.
Weatherford, Texas is in USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 8a, with average annual minimum temperatures between 10 and 15 degrees Fahrenheit. This zone information is critical for plant selection in softscape and planting projects, as it determines which species can survive Weatherford winters. Zone 8a is warm enough for many subtropical plants but still experiences periodic hard freezes that damage tropical species. We use this zone classification, combined with Parker County's specific soil and rainfall patterns, to select landscape plants with the highest probability of long-term success on your property.
During Weatherford's active growing season (April through October), Bermuda grass lawns should be mowed weekly at 1.5-2 inches. St. Augustine grass performs best at 2.5-3 inches with weekly mowing during peak growth and bi-weekly during transition months. From November through March, most Weatherford lawns are dormant and require mowing only 1-2 times per month or as needed. The most common mowing mistake in North Texas is cutting too short during summer heat, which stresses turf and increases water demand. Our mowing service maintains the optimal height for your grass type throughout each season.
