4CWM LLC provides forestry mulching, land clearing, soil conditioning, brush clearing, pasture reclamation, gravel delivery and driveway work, tree services, and storm damage cleanup throughout Osage County, Oklahoma — the largest county in Oklahoma by land area, home of the Osage Nation, Pawhuska, the Tallgrass Prairie Preserve, and Skiatook Lake. We serve Pawhuska (the county seat and Osage Nation capital), Hominy, Skiatook, Barnsdall, Fairfax, Wynona, Shidler, Burbank, Foraker, McCord, Webb City, Avant, and the vast ranch country and lake-area properties around Skiatook Lake, Hulah Lake, Birch Lake, Bluestem Lake, and Lake Pawhuska.

Osage County, Oklahoma is the largest county in the state — over 2,200 square miles of rolling tallgrass prairie, Osage Hills, cattle country, and oil-and-gas pasture. The Tallgrass Prairie Preserve outside Pawhuska is the largest remaining stretch of tallgrass prairie left in the world, and the rest of the county is similarly defined by wide-open ranch land, scattered creek-bottom timber, and cedar encroachment that has become a serious problem for working ranchers. Properties range from massive ranch tracts in the northwest to wooded lake-area acreage on Skiatook Lake and Hulah Lake. Whether you run cattle outside Pawhuska, own a cabin on Skiatook Lake, or have hunting acreage near Hominy or Barnsdall, our skid steer mulcher is built for Osage County terrain.

How It Works

Getting started is simple, even if your property isn’t.

Use our pricing tool to check if the numbers work — it takes 60 seconds. Call us to schedule a free site walk. Osage County terrain varies widely — a flat tallgrass prairie pasture outside Pawhuska is a very different job than a wooded shoreline lot on Skiatook Lake or a creek bottom near Hominy — so Timothy always walks the property in person before quoting. You get a firm written quote before he leaves.

We show up on the scheduled day, run the mulcher, run the soil conditioner if seedbed prep is part of the job, and haul in gravel if your driveway or pad needs it. Most Osage County jobs book within 1–2 weeks. Large ranch projects may run multiple days — we schedule accordingly. When we leave, your land is clean, conditioned, and usable.

Osage County’s mix of working ranches, Osage Nation tribal allotments, oil-and-gas pasture, lake-area cabins, and Pawhuska-area homesteads creates a wide range of clearing and ground-prep needs. Ranchers want cedar gone from their grazing ground — it’s the number one Osage County job we do. Skiatook Lake property owners want shoreline views back. Builders need site prep and gravel driveway access. Hunters want shooting lanes and food plots. We’ve done all of it across the county.

What We Clear for Osage County Property Owners

The Pawhuska rancher with 40 acres of cedar-invaded tallgrass pasture. A rancher outside Pawhuska called about pasture where eastern redcedar had spread aggressively over the past two decades, dropping his herd’s carrying capacity by nearly half. We mulched the entire stand over five days, back-graded throughout, ran the soil conditioner across the open areas to leave a seedable surface, and within one growing season native tallgrass was returning across the entire cleared area. He coordinated NRCS cost-share paperwork that covered a significant portion of the project.

The Skiatook Lake cabin owner needing view restoration. A cabin owner on a wooded slope above Skiatook Lake called about brush and small cedar that had grown up between the cabin and the water over the past several years. The lake views they bought the property for had disappeared. We cleared the understory and small invading cedar while leaving the mature hardwood canopy intact — they got their views back and the cabin still had its shade.

The Hominy landowner needing a creek bottom cleared for cattle access. A Hominy-area rancher had a creek bottom where dense brush, willow, and small cedar had cut off cattle access to a key water source. We mulched a working corridor through the brush down to the creek, opened up the water access, and the cattle had a usable watering point within a week.

The Barnsdall property owner needing soil conditioning for a new build site. A property owner near Barnsdall had a lot that had been roughly cleared but was left compacted and full of root debris. They wanted it conditioned before seeding for grass and grading for a new build. We brought in the Harley rake / soil conditioner, broke up the compacted ground, pulverized the remaining debris, and left a smooth, level seedbed ready for the seed truck and foundation work.

The Fairfax-area ranch needing fence line clearing and gravel for a new ranch road. A Fairfax-area rancher had several miles of perimeter fence line being overtaken by cedar and thorny locust, plus a new ranch road that needed gravel run in for hauling cattle and equipment. We ran the mulcher along the fence rows in a clean 30-foot corridor, then hauled in and spread gravel for the new ranch road — one mobilization, two completed jobs.

Osage County Land Clearing FAQ

Do you do soil conditioning and seedbed prep after clearing?
Yes. We run a Harley rake / soil conditioner attachment that breaks up compacted ground, pulverizes remaining debris, and leaves a smooth, level seedbed ready for grass or pasture seed. It’s a common follow-on to forestry mulching and a job we can do on its own when ground has already been cleared but needs conditioning.

Do you deliver and spread gravel in Osage County?
Yes. We handle gravel delivery, driveway installation, and spreading throughout Osage County — new ranch driveways and roads, lake-area access drives, road repair, pad prep, and gravel touch-ups on existing drives. We can usually combine a gravel job with clearing work to save you a trip charge.

Do you handle large ranch acreage in Osage County?
Yes — large ranch tracts are a major part of our Osage County work. We can clear 20-, 40-, even 100-acre tracts and quote volume pricing for the right size projects. Call us to discuss scope.

Do you work around Skiatook Lake, Hulah Lake, and Birch Lake?
Yes. Lakefront lot prep, view clearing, defensible space, and shoreline brush management are common jobs for us on all three lakes. Our skid steer mulcher handles the steep slopes and tight access that lake property typically requires.

Are there grants for cedar removal in Osage County?
Yes — the Oklahoma Conservation Commission runs cost-share programs that can reimburse up to 90% of removal costs (up to $50,000/landowner) and the USDA NRCS EQIP program offers additional funding. Read our 2026 cedar cost-share application guide for the step-by-step on how to apply.

How much does land clearing cost in Osage County?
Our average rate is approximately $700/acre for normal overgrowth with a 3-acre minimum (starting around $2,100). Dense cedar, steep terrain, or extreme conditions may run toward the higher end. Large ranch tracts may qualify for volume pricing. Standalone soil conditioning, gravel work, and smaller jobs can be quoted as flat-rate.

Do you work with Osage Nation tribal landowners?
Yes — we work with all Osage County property owners including Osage Nation tribal allotment holders. Same pricing, same process, same firm quote before any work starts.

How quickly can you start a job in Osage County?
Most jobs book within 1–2 weeks. We typically walk the property first to give you a firm quote, then schedule the work. Large ranch projects may need multiple days on the schedule. Peak season (spring through early fall) books up faster — sooner is better.
