Tyler, Texas has seen steady growth in both residential and commercial development over the past several years, and that growth means more landowners need professional help getting their property ready. Whether you’re clearing timber, prepping a home site, digging drainage, or tearing down an old structure, RTS Construction & Land Clearing brings 25 years of hands-on experience to every project in the Tyler area.
We’re a veteran-owned, family-operated company based in Fruitvale, Texas — just a short drive west of Tyler on US-80. We serve Tyler and the surrounding communities regularly, and we understand the terrain, the soil conditions, and the pace of work that property owners here expect.
East Texas property can be stubborn. Dense pine and hardwood stands, heavy underbrush, and years of unchecked overgrowth are common challenges for landowners in the Tyler area. Our land clearing services are built to handle exactly that. We remove trees, brush, stumps, and vegetation so your property is ready for whatever comes next — whether that’s a home, a barn, a pasture, or a recreational space.
We work on residential lots, rural acreage, and large tracts alike. Every project is assessed individually because no two properties are the same, and we bring the right equipment for the job.
If you’re looking for an efficient, lower-impact way to clear land, forestry mulching is worth considering. Instead of hauling debris off-site, we grind trees and brush into mulch on the spot. That mulch stays on the ground, protecting the soil, suppressing weeds, and reducing erosion — all without the mess and expense of hauling. It’s a particularly good fit for fence row clearing, trail creation, and overgrown acreage in the Tyler area.
Our excavation services cover a wide range of needs — from driveway grading and utility trenching to drainage work and dozer grading. If your property needs dirt moved, leveled, or reshaped, we have the equipment and the experience to handle it efficiently. We also do site preparation and gradingfor new construction, ensuring your pad is properly graded and ready for building.
East Texas landowners frequently want ponds for livestock, fishing, fire suppression, or simply aesthetics. Our pond construction team handles everything from site selection to digging to drainage design. We take the time to make sure your pond is placed correctly and dug to the right depth so it holds water and functions the way you need it to.
Old barns, dilapidated structures, concrete foundations, and unwanted fence rows don’t disappear on their own. Our demolition services give Tyler property owners a safe, professional way to remove what’s no longer wanted. We operate carefully to protect surrounding structures and minimize disruption to your land.

Forestry mulching grinds all that material into mulch in place, which protects the soil and reduces the cost of debris removal.
