Our company
Owner-operated land services
Crosscut Land Clearing is a land services company built on experience, integrity and a commitment to doing the job right. Owners Jordan LaVine and Christian Carter bring hands-on knowledge and a deep respect for the land to every project.
Our work covers land clearing, forestry mulching, selective clearing, pasture restoration, excavation and pond building and a wide range of ranch and property improvements. We also support USDA and NRCS grant projects, helping landowners improve and maintain their property with practical, reliable solutions.
Every job is approached with care, attention to detail and a focus on efficiency, because your land deserves work that lasts. From dense timber to open pasture, we take pride in results that are both functional and thoughtfully done.
Leadership
Meet the owners
President & CEO
Jordan LaVine
Jordan brings over 30 years of experience across the construction, excavation and forestry industries. He oversees operations, sets the company’s direction and leads the sales side, which is why he’s the one most landowners meet on the first walk-through.
He’s always looking for better methods and machines to improve how the work gets done. Off the clock he’s with his wife and three daughters, running, fishing, hiking or out on the lake.
COO
Christian Carter
Christian brings 15 years of experience in land clearing and wildland firefighting. He served as a federal wildland firefighter across the western United States and spent off-seasons on wildfire fuels reduction projects on state and federal land.
That work taught him how land behaves under pressure, and it shows in a disciplined, safety-first approach to clearing and restoration across Central Texas. He lives outside Austin with his wife and family.
How we work
Four things every Crosscut job has in common
From the first phone call to the last pass of the mulcher, this is what landowners tell us they noticed.
An owner walks your land first
Every project starts with Jordan on the property with you, not a salesman and not an estimate drawn from a satellite photo. You flag what stays; he matches the machine to the ground.
Book a free walk-throughWe work for the land, not against it
Oaks stay. Mulch stays on the soil instead of burn piles. We avoid wounding oaks in oak wilt season and leave a clean site behind, so the ground is better for the work, not just barer.

If a pond site won’t hold water or a job should wait for drier ground, we say so on the walk-through. The plan, machine, schedule and price are in writing before anything unloads.

Ranchers, homesteaders, hunters and families on acreage are who we work for. Jobs run on our own crews and our own haul truck, and every one is treated like it matters, because to you it does.

Reviews
Landowners say it better than we do
“In my 37 years ranching, Christian is by far the best operator I have ever worked with, very easy to talk to and friendly.”
Paul S.RancherCrosscut customer
“We had cedar piles that had become fire hazards and far too many cedars choking out some beautiful oaks. Hired Crosscut — problems solved!”
Tira J.Ranch owner, Johnson City, TXCrosscut customer
“The crew was very professional and took care of everything we had requested in a timely manner. They kept us informed of their progress and how much time was left.”
