Eastern red cedar multiplies fast and poses a massive risk to Oklahoma pastures, farms, and ranches. We know land clearing can be a crippling expense—that's why my dad and I are working hard to bring you top-quality clearing at an affordable price.
💰 Did you know? Depending on your location, state and federal cost-share programs offer up to $50,000 to help landowners fund brush removal.

An 8-year Oklahoma State University study found that removing eastern redcedars increased soil water storage by 1.6 times and increased runoff by 4.5 times. In a state where drought is a constant challenge, that’s significant.
But water is only part of the story.
Eastern redcedars are one of Oklahoma’s greatest wildfire threats. Their dense growth and highly flammable oils can turn a routine grass fire into a fast-moving, intense wildfire that threatens homes, livestock, wildlife, and entire communities.
They also crowd out native grasses, reduce grazing capacity, and slowly transform productive rangeland into cedar thickets.
The challenge is that cedar removal is expensive. Mechanical removal, prescribed fire, and ongoing management require a significant investment of time and money. Many landowners know the problem exists, but tackling thousands of cedars across a property can be a daunting and costly task.
Yet the long-term benefits are clear: healthier grasslands, more available water, improved wildlife habitat, increased forage production, and reduced wildfire risk.
Good stewardship isn’t always cheap, but it’s one of the best investments we can make in the future of Oklahoma’s land.
