Somerset, in far southwest Bexar County, is open country where mesquite and huisache keep pushing into pasture and homesites. Brush clearing is the main job, with the occasional storm-worn hardwood near a house.

We Know Somerset

We work throughout Somerset and around local landmarks like SH-16, downtown Somerset, and the Medina River bottoms (nearby).

A Somerset landowner wanted 5 acres of mesquite knocked back for cattle; we cleared and mulched the worst of it and left scattered oaks for shade.

Understanding Somerset's Trees

Somerset is South Texas pasture country, and the defining job is reclaiming land from mesquite and huisache that have taken over grazing ground and homesites. This hot, dry brush country regrows thorny scrub aggressively, so clearing here is about restoring usable pasture and often mulching the cut material on site to avoid hauling across long rural tracts. The scattered live oaks worth keeping get preserved as shade. Storm-worn hardwoods near homes round out a job list dominated by pasture and homesite reclamation rather than fine pruning.

For most Somerset properties, that points to a few core services: land & lot clearing, stump grinding & removal, and tree removal.

Tree Care Tips for Somerset Properties

  • Clear brush in the cool season

    Winter clearing is easier on crews and equipment, and brush is easier to see and mark without leaves.

  • Keep a few shade trees

    A well-placed live oak or mesquite near the house cuts summer heat — clear around it.

  • Plan for resprouts

    Mesquite and huisache come back from roots; budget a light follow-up the next season.

Tree Service FAQs — Somerset, TX

Can you clear mesquite and huisache on my Somerset property?
Yes. We clear brush for homesites, driveways, and pasture, using mulching or grubbing depending on how much regrowth control you need. Huisache and mesquite both resprout, so we explain the follow-up plan up front instead of leaving you surprised by new shoots.
Is it better to mulch or haul brush in Somerset?
Mulching in place is usually cheaper and keeps the ground covered, which is good on open, windy land. Hauling makes sense near the house or where you want a clean, bare area. Many jobs use both: mulch the pasture, haul or chip near the homesite.
What's the best use of cleared brush on a Somerset property?
Mulching it in place protects bare soil from wind and sun, which matters on open land. Near the house, chipping and hauling or reusing the chips in beds keeps things tidy. Burning is subject to county burn bans, so check conditions first.
Can you grind mesquite stumps on my Somerset property?
Yes. Grinding below the bud zone helps stop mesquite from resprouting. On rocky or very dense ground, grubbing may be the better option.
