Land Clearing
Services
Whether you need your land cleared, a beautiful pond excavated, or a full site prepared for construction, our professionals at J C Boyd Custom Builders, LLC are always ready to assist you.
What's Included in Land Clearing Services?
Our land clearing and site preparation services go well beyond simply removing trees and brush. We prepare your property from the ground up — ensuring it is ready for construction, agriculture, or recreation, whatever your plans may be.
Land Clearing & Brush Removal
Whether your land is dense cedar or scattered brush, we deploy the right equipment and experienced crew to clear it efficiently and leave it ready for what comes next.
Site Preparation & Grading
Proper grading establishes drainage patterns, prepares the foundation bed, and creates the level, stable base that everything built on top of it depends on.
Pond Development & Excavation
A well-designed pond adds beauty, wildlife habitat, recreational value, and meaningful property value. We design and excavate custom ponds for North Texas landowners.
Property Development
From raw acreage to a build-ready site, we manage the full land development process — including clearing, grading, utility coordination, and foundation preparation.
Stump Removal
After tree removal, we handle stump grinding and full excavation to leave your property clean, safe, and ready for landscaping or construction.
Drainage & Erosion Control
Proper drainage protects your property and your future home's foundation. We address drainage patterns and erosion control as part of every site preparation project.
Pond Development for North Texas Landowners
A well-designed pond is one of the highest-return improvements a North Texas landowner can make to their property. It adds aesthetic beauty, creates thriving wildlife habitat, provides year-round fishing for the family, and meaningfully increases market value.
Our team designs ponds to complement your land's natural topography — selecting the ideal site, sizing the pond for your intended use, and excavating it to specifications that ensure it holds water reliably through North Texas's variable seasons.
Whether you want a farm pond for livestock and irrigation, a recreational fishing pond for the family, or a swimming pond as a natural alternative to a conventional pool, we have the equipment and experience to make it happen.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in land clearing services?
Land clearing services include vegetation and brush removal, tree clearing, stump grinding and removal, site grading, drainage planning, and erosion control. J C Boyd Custom Builders also offers pond excavation and full property development — managing everything from raw acreage to a build-ready site prepared for construction.
How much does land clearing cost in North Texas?
Land clearing costs in North Texas depend on acreage, vegetation density, terrain, and intended use. Heavily wooded parcels with dense cedar cost more to clear than open land with scattered brush. Contact J C Boyd Custom Builders for a site visit and an accurate estimate based on your specific property.
How long does land clearing take?
A typical residential land clearing project in North Texas takes 1–5 days for smaller parcels under 5 acres. Larger or heavily forested properties may take 1–2 weeks or more. J C Boyd Custom Builders will walk your property and provide a realistic timeline before any equipment is mobilized.
Do I need permits for land clearing in Texas?
Permit requirements for land clearing vary by municipality and county in Texas. Some jurisdictions require permits for clearing above a certain acreage or in areas with protected vegetation. J C Boyd Custom Builders is familiar with requirements throughout Cooke, Denton, and Grayson counties and will advise you on what's needed.
Can you clear land and excavate a pond in the same project?
Yes. J C Boyd Custom Builders frequently combines land clearing and pond excavation into a single mobilization, which saves both time and cost. If your plan includes a pond, we incorporate it into the site preparation phase so clearing and pond shaping are completed together in one coordinated project.
