"Barrientos cleared 22 acres of cedar in three days. The crew showed up when they said they would, kept us in the loop, and left the property cleaner than we expected. Best money we've spent on the ranch."

The Challenge
What we walked into.
Heavy mesquite had cut effective stocking rate by more than half. Owner wanted a long-term solution without herbicide.
Our Approach
How we got it done.
Heavy-class mulching of mesquite down to grade, with strategic shade tree retention. Returned three weeks later for a touch-up pass on regrowth.
The Result
What the owner got.
Pasture returned to full stocking capacity by the following spring. Owner reported the strongest grass year in over a decade.
Scope of Work
- Mesquite removal
- Shade tree retention
- Touch-up pass
- Soil-friendly process

"We needed a homesite cleared fast before our build start date. Art and his team got us a quote within a day and had the lot ready a week ahead of schedule. Total professionals."

"I've worked with a lot of clearing crews over the years. These guys are different — fair pricing, honest timelines, and they actually care about the work. We use them on every project now."

"Storm took down half our fence line and a row of oaks. Barrientos was on-site the next morning. Cleanup was spotless and they hauled everything off. Couldn't ask for better."

"Selective mulching done exactly the way we asked — kept every mature oak and cleared the underbrush we wanted gone. The mulch layer they left is already helping with erosion."
