How Much Does Brush Removal Cost in Dripping Springs and Spicewood?
If you live in Dripping Springs or Spicewood, it doesn’t take long for a little yard cleanup to turn into a very large brush pile.
Maybe you trimmed trees around the house. Maybe you cleared cedar and overgrown vegetation from part of your property. Or maybe a landscaping project left you staring at a mountain of branches, logs, and yard debris wondering, Now what am I supposed to do with all of this?
That’s where professional brush removal comes in.
At Dash Away Hauling, brush hauling starts at $250, but the final price depends on how much material you have, how accessible the pile is, how heavy it is, and what equipment or number of loads the job requires. Our current pricing page lists brush hauling and land clearing starting at $250.
Here’s what homeowners and property owners in Dripping Springs and Spicewood should know before requesting a quote.
How Much Does Brush Removal Cost?
There isn’t one flat price that works for every brush pile.
A small pile of branches sitting right beside the driveway is a completely different job from several acres of overgrown vegetation that need equipment, multiple loads, and additional cleanup.
For Dash Away Hauling, small brush removal jobs can start around $250. Larger jobs are quoted based on the actual scope of work.
The biggest factors are:
How much brush you have
How large and heavy the branches or logs are
Where the pile is located
Whether we can pull the truck close to it
Whether equipment is needed
How many loads are required
Disposal costs
Whether you need simple hauling or actual land clearing
The easiest way to get an accurate number is to send us photos of the brush pile along with your ZIP code.
Small Brush Piles vs. Large Brush Removal Jobs
Not every brush job requires heavy equipment.
If you already trimmed your trees and stacked everything near the driveway, the job may simply involve loading the material and hauling it away.
That’s very different from a property where brush is scattered across a large area or where vegetation still needs to be cleared.
Small Brush Pickup
A smaller job might include:
Tree branches
Shrub trimmings
Limbs
Small logs
Landscaping debris
A manageable pile of yard waste
These are usually the simplest jobs because the material has already been cut and gathered.
Larger Brush Hauling
Larger projects may involve:
Multiple large brush piles
Heavy logs
Storm debris
Brush spread throughout the property
Large quantities of cedar or other vegetation
Multiple dumpster loads
The more material there is to load and haul, the more time and disposal capacity the project requires.

What Makes Brush Removal More Expensive?
Two brush piles that look almost identical in a photo can sometimes require very different amounts of work.
Here are some of the biggest reasons.
1. Access to the Brush
Access can make a huge difference.
A pile sitting ten feet from where we can park the truck is much easier to remove than brush located down a steep hill, behind a fence, or hundreds of feet from the driveway.
Properties around Dripping Springs and Spicewood can also have gates, long driveways, uneven terrain, and limited areas for trucks and equipment to maneuver.
The easier it is to reach the material, the easier the job usually is to complete.
2. The Size of the Material
A pile of small branches takes up space, but large logs and heavy sections of trees are a different story.
Larger material may require additional cutting, equipment, or more careful loading.
That’s why photos are so helpful when we quote a project. They show us much more than simply how tall the pile is.
3. How Many Loads It Takes
This is a big one.
A brush pile can look manageable from the front and turn out to be much deeper than expected.
If your project requires several loads, the cost has to account for the additional hauling time, fuel, disposal, and trips involved.
4. Whether Equipment Is Needed
Sometimes manpower is enough.
Other times, a skid steer or other equipment makes sense—especially when dealing with large properties, heavy material, or extensive vegetation.
Once equipment becomes necessary, you’re moving beyond a simple brush pickup and closer to a land-clearing or site-preparation project.
Dash Away Hauling provides brush removal as well as larger land-clearing and site-preparation services.
Brush Removal vs. Land Clearing: What's the Difference?
This is something customers ask us a lot.
Brush removal usually means the vegetation has already been cut, trimmed, or piled up and you need someone to haul it away.
Land clearing is a larger project where we may be removing vegetation, small trees, brush, rock, or other material from the property itself.
For example:
If you spent the weekend trimming trees and now have a giant pile beside the driveway, you probably need brush hauling.
If you have an overgrown section of property that needs to be cleared before landscaping, construction, or another project can begin, you may need land clearing.
Not sure which one you have? Send us photos. We can usually tell pretty quickly.
What About Chipping the Brush?
Depending on the project, chipping can sometimes be another option.
Instead of hauling every branch away whole, brush can be processed into smaller material. Whether that makes sense depends on how much brush you have, the size of the vegetation, equipment access, and whether you want the chipped material left on the property or removed.
For very large piles, it’s worth comparing brush hauling vs. chipping rather than assuming one option is automatically cheaper.
That’s actually one of the reasons we like seeing photos before quoting a large job—we can look at the pile and talk through the practical options.

Living on a larger property? No problem. Just send us enough photos to show the size of the pile and how easy—or difficult—it will be for us to access it.
Can I Rent a Dumpster for Brush Instead?
Sometimes that makes more sense.
If you’re doing the clearing yourself and will be generating brush over several days, a dumpster rental can give you one place to put your accepted debris as you work.
Dash Away Hauling offers 17-yard dumpsters for cleanouts, construction projects, renovations, and other approved materials throughout Dripping Springs, Spicewood, and our surrounding service area.
If the brush is already piled and you simply want it gone, full-service brush removal may be easier because we handle the loading for you.
How Do I Get a Brush Removal Quote?
This part is easy.
Take a few photos of your brush pile from different angles and send them to us along with your ZIP code.
For a larger project, it also helps to include:
A wide photo showing the entire pile
Something in the photo for size reference
Photos showing access to the pile
Approximate measurements if you have them
Whether the material has already been cut
Whether there are logs, rocks, dirt, or other heavy materials mixed in
The more we can see, the easier it is to understand the job.
