Serving homeowners, ranchers, and oil-industry operators along US Highway 79 and US 259, throughout Rusk County’s East Texas Oil Field region.
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’s full range of land clearing, site prep, excavation, and environmental services is available throughout Henderson and Rusk County — from lease-adjacent acreage near Joinerville to residential lots near Lake Forest Park.
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.
Henderson sits on the Sabine Uplift of the Coastal Plains, on the ridge that separates the Sabine River watershed from the Neches River watershed, where Rusk County’s sloping hills, narrow valleys, and glens make for a more varied terrain than the flatter ground found elsewhere in East Texas.
That hilly, mixed terrain sits directly on top of the East Texas Oil Field — discovered near Henderson at Joinerville in 1930, once the largest oil field in the world — which means Rusk County land clearing and environmental cleanup work often go hand in hand, whether it’s brush clearing ahead of a new well pad or environmental remediation on an established lease near Overton or Kilgore.
Glass Finn LLC brings 30 years of hands-on land-clearing, dirt-work, and oil-industry environmental cleanup experience to Rusk County, running equipment sized for everything from a residential lot near downtown Henderson to a multi-day ranch or lease-site job out toward Tatum.
Henderson sits on the Sabine Uplift, right on the ridge dividing the Sabine and Neches river watersheds, and Rusk County’s sloping hills and narrow valleys mean Glass Finn LLC’s crews grade and clear with slope and drainage in mind on nearly every job, not just the flat-ground jobs common elsewhere in East Texas.
We run equipment along US 79, US 259, and Texas Highways 64, 43, and 42, reaching property from inside Henderson’s city limits out toward Overton, Tatum, and Joinerville.
We’ve cleared and graded acreage near Lake Forest Park, worked lease-adjacent land toward Joinerville — ground zero for the 1930 East Texas Oil Field discovery — and handled ranch and pasture clearing along Highway 43 toward Tatum.
Because so much of Rusk County sits within the historic East Texas Oil Field, environmental awareness isn’t optional here — we handle oil field site cleanup and land remediation alongside standard clearing and grading work, and we stay mindful of watershed boundaries given Henderson’s position on the ridge between the Sabine and Neches drainages.
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:
Pricing depends on acreage, brush density, and access, but most Rusk County land clearing jobs run in the range of $2,700 per acre. Every estimate is free, so Henderson landowners get an exact number before any equipment shows up. Larger acreage and multi-day jobs typically see a lower effective rate than small, one-off lots.
Yes. Joinerville, where the East Texas Oil Field was discovered in 1930, sits within our Rusk County service area, and we handle both land clearing and oil field environmental cleanup on lease-adjacent property.
Yes — we regularly clear and grade residential lots near Lake Forest Park and throughout Henderson’s city limits.
We can take on jobs of any size within Henderson city limits since travel distance is short, but our equipment is best suited to a half-acre and up. Give us a call and we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a good fit.
A one-acre residential lot usually takes a single day; larger ranch or lease-adjacent acreage toward Tatum or Overton can run several days depending on brush density. We’ll give you a realistic timeline with your free estimate.
Yes — this is one of our core services here. Rusk County sits within the historic East Texas Oil Field, and Michael McAuliffe brings 30 years of hands-on oil-industry environmental cleanup experience to spill remediation and land cleanup for operators and landowners.
