Pasture Reclamation in East Texas
If your pasture has been overtaken by brush, weeds, and saplings, you’re not alone. In East Texas, pastures can decline quickly when invasive growth is left unmanaged. Arrowhead Outdoor Services specializes in pasture reclamation, helping landowners and ranchers restore overgrown fields into productive, usable grazing land.
Pasture reclamation isn’t just about clearing vegetation. It’s about giving your land the opportunity to function again by opening sunlight, improving soil conditions, and allowing desirable grasses to reclaim their place.
What Is Pasture Reclamation?
Pasture reclamation is the process of removing invasive and unwanted vegetation that prevents healthy forage from growing. Unlike routine mowing, reclamation addresses the root cause of pasture decline by eliminating brush, woody plants, and saplings that choke out grasses.
The goal is to restore balance to the field so it can support livestock, hay production, or long-term land use without constant struggle against regrowth.
The Cost of a Neglected Pasture
When a pasture is allowed to go unmanaged, the consequences add up quickly.
Declining Forage Quality
Invasive species such as yaupon, mesquite, and woody weeds provide little nutritional value and crowd out productive grasses.
Reduced Grazing Capacity
As brush spreads, usable acreage shrinks, forcing livestock to compete for limited forage or requiring supplemental feeding.
Increased Pest and Predator Cover
Thick overgrowth creates ideal habitat for pests and predators, increasing risks to livestock.
Lower Property Value
Overgrown, unproductive pasture is far less valuable than land that is accessible, manageable, and producing.
Our Pasture Reclamation Process
Every pasture is different, which is why we take a thoughtful, step-by-step approach.
Property Assessment and Planning
We walk the pasture with you to understand the current conditions, problem species, soil type, and your long-term goals for grazing or hay production.
Initial Clearing and Brush Removal
Using forestry mulchers and heavy-duty shredders, we remove small trees, thick brush, and invasive growth. This step opens the canopy and allows sunlight to reach the soil again.
Soil-Friendly Restoration
The mulched material is left to break down naturally, returning organic matter to the soil and helping improve moisture retention and soil structure.
Long-Term Maintenance Strategy
We help you plan next steps to keep your pasture productive, whether that’s periodic maintenance, selective clearing, or combining services like fence line clearing or grading.

Pasture Reclamation FAQs
Do you serve ranches throughout East Texas?
Yes. We’re based in Tyler, Texas, and work with ranchers and landowners across the East Texas region.
How is pasture reclamation different from brush removal?
Brush removal focuses on clearing invasive growth, while pasture reclamation is a broader process aimed at restoring long-term pasture productivity.
Will my pasture grow back after clearing?
Yes. By removing invasive species and allowing sunlight to reach the soil, desirable grasses are given the opportunity to return and thrive.
Can you help with fence lines and access once the pasture is cleared?
Absolutely. Many pasture reclamation projects include fence line clearing, right-of-way clearing, or grading to fully restore access and functionality.
