Right-of-way clearing opens a corridor so a pipe, a road or a ditch can go in. We clear brush, cedar, mesquite, huisache and trees off utility, pipeline, road and drainage rights-of-way and easements. On a new easement, the clearing comes before the trench for water and sewer lines. We do right-of-way clearing across San Antonio and about 50 miles around the city.
Global Contractors LLC has done commercial and government sitework since 2006. On a right of way, our forestry mulcher grinds the brush where it stands. Excavators pull the stumps where a line or a road goes in, and dump truck hauling takes the rest. Call (253) 606-9497 and we will come look at the corridor first.

A right-of-way job starts with the paperwork. Bring the easement document or the plan sheet, and we go over the corridor with you on site. The stakes or the plan set the edges, and the machines stay inside them.
The wheeled forestry mulcher works down the corridor first. Its drum head grinds brush, cedar, mesquite and small trees where they stand, and the chips stay on the ground. Skid steers with mulching heads take the tight spots. This is forestry mulching on a long, narrow strip.
Where a trench or a road goes in, the stumps come out too. A root ball left in the ground gets in the way of a trench and settles under a roadbed. Our excavators pull stumps and roots along that line. Clearing a whole lot or tract is land clearing work.
Texas law says a permit, the owner's permission or an easement does not excuse the one-call notice. The same law counts mechanized digging that disturbs soil 16 inches or deeper as excavation. Pulling stumps out of an easement can reach that depth. So before a stump comes out, a locate ticket goes in.
The notice goes in at least 48 hours before digging starts, not counting weekends and legal holidays. It cannot go in more than 14 days ahead. The law also has the one-call center warn that water and sewer lines may not get the notice. On a water or sewer easement, ask the water utility where its pipes already run.
Bexar County Public Works controls all construction in county-maintained rights-of-way by permit. Its inspection section wants 24 hours' notice, with the permit number, before work starts. Comal County's Order 566 requires a permit for construction in a county road's right of way. It also makes the applicant dispose of trees and brush cleared there for a utility line.
The Texas A and M Forest Service says oak wilt can enter through any fresh oak wound. Wounds from cedar clearing count, and the service says to avoid wounding oaks from February through June. Inside San Antonio, the city's oak wilt ordinance wants cuts and wounds on oaks painted within 30 minutes. When oaks stand along a corridor, we plan the timing with you.
Texas Parks and Wildlife says golden-cheeked warblers nest only in central Texas mixed Ashe juniper and oak woodland. The birds come to Texas in March to nest and leave in July. If an easement crosses mature cedar and oak in a ravine, look into that before any cedar comes out.

(253) 606-9497From the first call to the final grade, here is how it goes.
Call (253) 606-9497 and tell us what the site needs: a lot cleared, a house down, a pad built. We ask enough questions to know what machines the job takes.
We drive out and read the ground: access, slope, trees, utilities, what is standing and where the dirt can go. On a build we go through the plans with you.
The scope and the price go in writing, broken out so you can see each part of the job. Estimates are free, and so is the site visit.
Permits and utility locates come first where they apply, including the Texas 811 call before anyone digs. Then the excavators, the trucks and the mulcher go to work.
Spoils get hauled off or spread on site, and the ground is graded before we pull off. We go over the finished job with you while the equipment is still there.

Forestry mulching grinds cedar, mesquite and brush into mulch right where it stands. The chips stay on the ground as cover, so nothing leaves the property.
