About Iron Star Land and Brush
Iron Star Land and Brush is a locally owned, fully insured land clearing company based in Willis, Texas. We provide land clearing, forestry mulching, and site preparation for homeowners, builders, and other property owners throughout the surrounding area.
Land Clearing in the Piney Woods
The wooded properties around Willis and Conroe are part of what makes this area appealing, but maintaining that land comes with its own challenges. Yaupon holly, vines, and small trees can grow thick beneath mature pines and hardwoods, making sections of a property difficult to access or maintain.
Iron Star Land and Brush helps property owners address that overgrowth while keeping the trees and areas they want to preserve. Some projects involve opening up woods that have become too thick to walk through, while others require more extensive clearing for a new home, driveway, or other improvements. We work with customers to understand the intended use of the land before determining the clearing needed.
The People Behind Iron Star
Our work involves more than getting equipment onto a property and removing vegetation. Before clearing begins, we want to understand which areas need attention, which trees should stay, and what the property owner has planned for the land.
We believe in clear communication, straightforward estimates, and being dependable throughout the project. Whether we’re discussing a small underbrushing job or preparing a wooded lot for construction, we take the time to review the work and make sure the scope is understood.
Corey Newsom
Co-Founder
I’m a native Texan, Christian, husband, and military brat. I’m also the proud father of two adult sons, one a mechanical engineer and the other a U.S. Marine.
I learned to operate and maintain equipment on a family farm in West Texas where I also worked my way through college. After graduating from Texas Tech University, I spent more than 25 years in marketing roles at Dow, Univar Solutions, and others. In that time, I learned the importance of attention to detail, leading teams and managing large projects with multi-million-dollar budgets. I had the opportunity to travel the world, develop speeches and presentations for CEOs and a former U.S. President, create award-winning marketing campaigns, and most importantly learned from some of the top business leaders in the chemical industry. While I enjoyed my time in the corporate world, I always wanted to do something that more directly helps improve the lives of others.
Our goal when we built our forever home near Willis, Texas, was to preserve the natural beauty around it and truly live among the trees. This is a beautiful place with some of the friendliest people around. I’m glad to be working with Jim. We share the same values, believe in doing things the right way, and bring different strengths to the table, all of which helps us take great care of our neighbors and clients.
Jim Crawford
Co-Founder
I’m a West Texas native, husband, and father of five who grew up in Midland, Texas, during the Friday Night Lights era as a wide receiver. I understand the hard preparation and discipline of two-a-days. I also bring 30 years of experience in the racing industry, including competitive racing, engine building, performance driving coaching, commercials, and military training. I’ve coached individuals ranging from celebrities and a President of the United States to some of our nation’s finest tactical military personnel. I built my career around precision, preparation, and attention to detail. These days, I’m just as likely to be found tending to my lawn or taking care of family ranch duties in Madisonville.
As a homeowner who has personally gone through the process of clearing land and preparing property to build a home, I understand the importance of doing the job right, and knowing what to look for along the way. I take pride in listening carefully to what customers want, paying attention to the details, and making sure the finished work meets or exceeds expectations. Partnering with Corey gives us the opportunity to combine our experience and shared commitment to quality to help property owners bring their vision to life.
How We Handle Each Project
Understanding the Property
We begin by discussing what you want done and how you plan to use the land. We can walk the property with you or review your address, photos, and project description by text to get the conversation started.
Planning the Clearing
Some projects call for removing nearly all the vegetation in an area, while others only need smaller growth cleared around established trees. We’ll discuss which areas should be opened up and which trees or sections should remain.
Reviewing the Estimate
Before work begins, we’ll provide an estimate outlining the scope, equipment, expected timeline, and cost. This gives you an opportunity to review the work and discuss any questions before moving forward.
Completing the Work
Once the details are agreed upon, we’ll schedule the job and carry out the clearing or property preparation discussed. Our goal is to complete the agreed-upon work while respecting the areas of the property that are meant to remain untouched.
