Lot and fence-line clearing around Lufkin
Brush, saplings and scattered trees, priced by the acre or the job.

Inside Lufkin
- Burning: the fire department's rules say land clearing requires a permit. Ask the department before planning a burn.
- Hauling: Solid Waste Services says contractors handle their own debris, and can rent a container from the city.
- Other permits: we didn't find city clearing or grading rules in a form we could cite. Ask the City of Lufkin what your lot needs.
Outside the city
In Hudson, Diboll, Huntington or the unincorporated county, ask the city or Angelina County about burning and clearing rules before work starts.
Before machines go in
Pulling stumps or root-raking with powered equipment to 16 inches or deeper counts as excavation under Texas law, so the 811 notice rules apply. See stump grinding.
