Before the first shovel of a new build goes in, the lot has to be cleared — correctly. Done well, it sets up a smooth project; done poorly, it creates drainage, grading, and tree-protection headaches. With so much new construction around Belton and Stillhouse Hollow lakes and across fast-growing Bell County, here's how professional lot clearing works in our area.
Site Assessment
We start by walking the lot with you to mark what stays and what goes. Mature live oaks, pecans, and cedar elms add real value, shade, and resale appeal — selective clearing lets you keep the trees worth keeping.
Clearing and Removal
Our crew removes trees, brush, and dense Ashe juniper ("cedar") stands, then grinds or extracts stumps so the site is ready for grading. All debris is chipped and hauled away with spotless cleanup.
Protect the Oaks You Keep
Construction wounds on oaks are a classic way to introduce oak wilt. We paint any necessary cuts immediately and time oak work to avoid the February-through-June high-risk window whenever the schedule allows.
Grading-Ready Results
The goal is a clean, level, grading-ready surface your builder can work with immediately — no surprises, no leftover stumps in our heavy clay.
Whether it's a single lakeside lot or a larger Bell County parcel, Raymundo Tree Service handles clearing from start to finish.
