Forestry Mulching & Land Clearing in Athens, TX
Athens is the county seat of Henderson County and the hub of a busy lake area, with Lake Athens close in, Cedar Creek Lake to the west and Lake Palestine to the east. Texas Homestead Company provides forestry mulching and land clearing around Athens for lake lots, weekend places and acreage that has filled in with brush.
Why property owners in Athens clear land with forestry mulching
A lot of property around Athens is bought for weekend or retirement use near the lakes. Owners want the yaupon, vines and small trees cleared for a cabin site, a view or a path to the water, while keeping the shade trees.
Away from the lakes, Henderson County has rolling post oak and pine ground and old pasture. Mulching is a simple way to open it up for cattle, a garden or a homesite without burning.
Athens is roughly an hour and 15 minutes southwest of Hawkins by way of Tyler, and US-175, SH-31 and SH-19 put most of Henderson County within reach.
Our services in Athens and Henderson County
Forestry mulching is our main service. One machine grinds brush, vines, small trees and stumps into mulch where they stand. The mulch stays on the ground to protect the soil and hold back erosion, so there are no burn piles to manage and nothing to haul off. How forestry mulching works.
Land clearing and brush removal covers homesites, pasture reclamation, fence lines, trails and lots. Land clearing details.
Site prep comes after the clearing: excavation, grading, house pads and driveways. See site prep.
