If you own property around Lake Travis, you already know the deal: cedar, mesquite, and scrub brush don’t just grow here—they take over. Whether you’re prepping a lot in The Hollows, clearing overgrowth on a Lakeway hillside, or need brush hauled after a contractor cut it down in Briarcliff, we’ve been doing this work since 2021. No job’s too tangled, too steep, or too out-of-the-way.
We’re K9 Junk Removal & Hauling, a family-owned operation out of the Austin area. Jean Guizzetti started this business from scratch, and we still run it the same way: show up when we say we will, do the work right, and haul everything off so you’re left with a clean, usable piece of land. We handle brush removal in Lake Travis TX for homeowners building, contractors needing site prep, and anyone who’s tired of looking at a jungle in their backyard.
Why homeowners and contractors in Lake Travis call K9 for brush removal
Lake Travis properties are beautiful, but they come with challenges. The terrain is rocky and steep in spots, lots are often wooded or overgrown, and HOAs around here have rules about what you can and can’t do. We’ve worked all over the lake—Lakeway, Bee Cave, Spicewood, Volente, Jonestown—and we understand what it takes to clear land without tearing up what you want to keep.
We’re not a giant operation. Jean and our crew personally handle every job, so when you call about brush removal near me, you’re talking directly to the people doing the work. We’ll walk your property with you, talk through what needs to go and what should stay, and give you honest advice—even if it means less work for us. That’s how we’ve built our reputation since day one.
We’re fully insured with both liability and workers’ comp, which matters when you’re working on hillsides, near structures, or clearing brush along fence lines. And we work weekends and after-hours, because we know Lake Travis folks are often juggling full-time jobs in Austin with property projects out here.
What’s included in our brush removal service
When we say brush removal and land clearing, here’s what we actually do:
- Cedar and mesquite removal — the two biggest culprits choking Hill Country properties
- Scrub brush clearing — yaupon, sumac, prickly pear, and all the understory growth
- Debris hauling — we load everything into our trucks and trailers, no burn piles left behind
- Lot prep for construction — clearing and hauling before builders or concrete crews arrive
- Post-storm cleanup — downed limbs, broken brush, and wind-damaged vegetation
- Fence line clearing — removing overgrowth along property boundaries
- Trail cutting and maintenance — clearing paths on larger properties
- Contractor support — hauling brush after tree services or land clearing crews cut and pile
We don’t leave anything behind. Everything gets hauled to the proper disposal sites, and you’re left with clear, clean land ready for whatever comes next—whether that’s building, landscaping, or just enjoying the view.
How the process works
We keep this simple. Here’s how most Lake Travis brush removal projects go:
- Call or message us with your address and a quick description. Photos help, but aren’t required. We’ll ask a few questions about access, terrain, and what you’re trying to accomplish.
- We visit the property (usually within a day or two). Jean or one of our crew will walk it with you, assess what needs clearing, and talk through any challenges like slopes, fences, or structures nearby.
- We give you a clear, straightforward quote. No hidden fees, no surprises. If you’re good with it, we schedule a day that works for you—including weekends if that’s better.
- We show up with the right equipment. Depending on the job, that might be chainsaws, brush cutters, trucks, trailers, or a combination. We handle the cutting, loading, and hauling.
- We haul everything off and leave your property clean. No piles, no debris, no follow-up needed. You’re done.
Most jobs take a day or less, but if you’ve got acreage or heavy cedar coverage, we’ll schedule what makes sense and keep you updated the whole way.
Lake Travis-specific considerations
Brush removal around Lake Travis isn’t like working on flat suburban lots. Here are a few things we run into regularly and know how to handle:
Steep terrain: Properties in Lakeway, The Hollows, and along Comanche Trail are often built on hillsides. We’ve cleared brush on slopes where equipment access is limited, and we know how to work safely without damaging your land or structures.
HOA restrictions: Many Lake Travis neighborhoods have covenants about tree removal, brush clearing, and what you can do with native vegetation. We’re happy to walk you through what’s typically allowed and help you stay compliant. We’ve worked in enough of these communities to know the drill.
Wildfire mitigation: The Hill Country has seen its share of wildfires, and defensible space matters. If you’re clearing brush to reduce fire risk around your home or barn, we’ll help you identify what should go and what’s worth keeping for erosion control or aesthetics.
Disposal rules: Travis County has specific requirements for green waste disposal. We’re dialed in on where everything goes, so you don’t have to worry about permits, dumping fees, or regulations.
Access challenges: Some Lake Travis properties have narrow driveways, locked gates, or no direct road access. We’ve worked through all of it. Just let us know what we’re dealing with upfront, and we’ll figure it out.
Why we’re the trusted brush removal choice in Lake Travis
Jean Guizzetti came to Texas as an immigrant and built K9 from nothing starting in 2021. This isn’t a franchise or a corporate hauling outfit—it’s a family business built on showing up, doing what we say, and treating people’s property with respect. We don’t say no to anything, and we don’t cut corners.
We’re fully insured with liability and workers’ comp, which you should ask every brush removal company about before they step foot on your land. We work weekends and after-hours because we know Lake Travis life doesn’t always fit into a Monday-through-Friday schedule. And we’re not the cheapest option—we’re the best service option. The kind where you call once, it gets done right, and you don’t think about it again.
If you’ve got brush that needs clearing, a lot that needs prepping, or a property that’s gotten away from you, we’d be glad to help. We’ve cleared land all over the lake, and we’ll give you straight answers about what your project needs.
