From forestry mulching and site prep to grading, excavation, and environmental cleanup, we handle the heavy work so your land is ready for what’s next — serving Rusk and communities from East Texas down to San Antonio.
Owner Michael McAuliffe has spent three decades working in land clearing and the oil industry before starting Glass Finn LLC. That experience means fewer surprises, faster problem-solving, and a crew that knows how to handle challenging terrain.
We run both a dedicated large-acreage forestry mulcher and a Cat 299 land management machine for smaller properties, so you're not paying for more machine than your project needs — or waiting on equipment that's too small to get the job done.
From the first tree cleared to the final grade, Glass Finn LLC handles land clearing, site prep, grading, excavation, and trenching under one roof, so you're not coordinating multiple contractors for a single project.
You'll work directly with the owner, reach us by call or text, and get a free estimate before any work begins — no call centers, no runaround.
Glass Finn LLC provides full-scope land services across East Texas — from initial land clearing and forestry mulching through site prep, grading, excavation, trenching, and specialized environmental cleanup. Whether you’re preparing a home site, developing commercial acreage, or managing farm and ranch land, we bring the right equipment and experience to get your property ready. We serve Rusk and the surrounding region, with project work extending south toward San Antonio for larger acreage jobs.
Whether you’re clearing a few acres or a few hundred, our land clearing services turn overgrown, wooded, or brush-covered property into usable land. We run a dedicated forestry mulching machine for large tracts and a Cat 299 land management machine for smaller lots, so the equipment always matches the job. From pasture reclamation to lot clearing ahead of construction, we clear efficiently while leaving the ground in better shape for what comes next.
Once your land is cleared, we prepare and grade it so it’s ready to build on, farm, or develop. Our site prep and grading services level uneven ground, establish proper drainage, and create a stable base for foundations, driveways, or agricultural use. We work closely with landowners and contractors to make sure the site meets the specific requirements of the next phase of the project.
Our excavation and trenching services cover everything from basement and foundation digs to residential pool excavation and utility line trenching. We handle the groundwork accurately and efficiently, whether you’re building new or upgrading existing infrastructure. Every excavation project is scoped ahead of time so there are no surprises once equipment is on site.
With three decades of experience in the oil industry, we provide environmental clean-up and remediation services for spills, drilling site incidents, and land affected by industrial operations. Our team understands the EHS requirements involved in oil field site cleanup and works quickly to restore affected land. This specialized experience sets Glass Finn LLC apart from general land clearing companies that don’t have an oil field industry background.
Glass Finn LLC was founded by Michael McAuliffe in Rusk, Texas, after three decades of hands-on experience in land clearing, site work, and the oil industry. What started as years of running equipment for other outfits became a business of his own in 2026 — one built around doing the job right the first time. Today, Glass Finn LLC serves residential landowners, commercial developers, farmers, and ranchers throughout East Texas and beyond.
From forestry mulching and land clearing to full site prep, grading, excavation, trenching, and specialized environmental cleanup, Glass Finn LLC brings the right equipment to every job — including a dedicated mulching machine for large acreage and a Cat 299 land management machine sized for smaller properties. Every estimate is free, every job is handled directly by an owner-operator who answers his own phone, and every project gets the same straightforward, no-surprises approach.
From forestry mulching and land clearing to grading, excavation, and environmental cleanup, Glass Finn LLC is ready to help you get your property where it needs to be. Every project starts with a free estimate — no obligation, no pressure.
Reach out by phone, text, or the form on this site, and we'll walk you through the scope of your project. Most estimates for larger tracts are based on satellite imagery and available plat information, since many landowners don't have a formal survey on hand.
We review the site, confirm boundary lines and any environmental considerations, and coordinate any permitting your project requires before equipment ever hits the ground.
Our crew clears, mulches, grades, excavates, or trenches according to your project scope, working efficiently to keep large tracts and multi-day jobs on schedule.
Once work is complete, we walk the site with you, address any final questions, and leave the property ready for what's next — whether that's building, grazing, or resale.
Glass Finn LLC provides land clearing services and full sitework to landowners throughout East Texas, based in Rusk and reaching south toward San Antonio for larger acreage projects. Our primary service area includes the following communities:
Land clearing costs vary based on acreage, brush density, and terrain, which is why we provide a free estimate for every project. Larger tracts cleared with our dedicated mulching machine are typically priced per acre, while smaller properties may be scoped individually using our Cat 299 land management machine. Contact us with your property details and we’ll walk you through pricing specific to your project.
Forestry mulching pricing depends on the density of brush and trees being cleared, the size of the tract, and which machine is the right fit for the job. Because pricing varies so much from property to property, we provide a free, no-obligation estimate for every forestry mulching project. Reach out with your acreage and general brush conditions to get started.
Preparing land to build a house typically starts with clearing brush and trees, followed by grading to create a level, stable building pad, and may include excavation for the foundation. We handle each of these stages — land clearing, site prep, grading, and excavation — so your site is ready for the builder without needing to coordinate multiple contractors.
Basement and foundation excavation costs depend on soil conditions, depth required, and site accessibility. Because every property is different, we provide a free estimate after reviewing your project details rather than a flat rate. Contact us with your project scope and we’ll walk you through the process and pricing.
Yes — with 30 years of experience in the oil industry, Glass Finn LLC provides environmental cleanup and land remediation for spills and other site incidents tied to oil field operations.
