Pasture Reclamation in San Antonio, TX
Bring your overgrown pastures back into production
What Is Pasture Reclamation?
Pasture reclamation targets farmland that has been partially or fully taken over by woody vegetation — eastern red cedar, privet, multiflora rose, persimmon, and other invaders that steal grazing acreage. Forestry mulching is the preferred method because it leaves the soil intact and deposits a mulch layer that actually improves the pasture base.

Frequently Asked Questions
- How quickly will grass grow back after mulching?
- In ideal conditions (spring or fall, adequate moisture), grass seed germinates in 2–4 weeks and provides usable cover in 60–90 days. Adding lime and fertilizer significantly improves results.
- Will cedar come back?
- Individual cedars mulched below the root crown will not regrow. However, seedbank in the soil means ongoing seedling control is needed — typically annual mowing or targeted spot spraying.
- Is pasture reclamation eligible for USDA cost-share programs?
- Yes. NRCS EQIP programs often cover 50–75% of reclamation costs for qualifying livestock operations. Contact your local FSA/NRCS office before scheduling work.
- Can the mulch be harmful to livestock?
- No. The mulch layer is safe for cattle and horses to graze through. Once grass establishes, the mulch naturally incorporates into the soil.
