30 Years in the Field, a Company Just Getting Started

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.

Built on 30 Years in the Field

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.

What We Handle

Glass Finn LLC’s work centers on two connected areas. The first is land clearing and site work — forestry mulching, brush and lot clearing, site preparation, grading, excavation, and utility trenching for residential, commercial, farm, and ranch properties. The second is environmental services, specifically spill cleanup and remediation work for oil and gas operators, an area (EHS) that Mike has direct experience in from prior work in the industry.

 

Two different types of equipment support the land clearing side of the business: a Cat 299 Land Management machine, well suited to smaller acreage, and larger dedicated mulching equipment brought in for bigger-acreage jobs. Matching the machine to the property is part of how a project gets scoped from the start.

Where We Work

Glass Finn LLC is based in Rusk, TX and takes on projects throughout East Texas, with a service reach that extends south to San Antonio. Land clearing is the primary focus right now, with site prep, grading, trenching, and environmental cleanup work growing alongside it as the business does.

How Our Land Clearing Services Work — Start to Finish

Free Estimate

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.

Planning & Permitting

We review the site, confirm boundary lines and any environmental considerations, and coordinate any permitting your project requires before equipment ever hits the ground.

Execution

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.

Cleanup & Walk-Through

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.
