Pafford Land & Home is a family-owned, locally operated business based in Gilmer, TX. We provide land clearing, forestry mulching, site preparation, grading, driveway construction, and home remodeling services to private landowners and ranches throughout Northeast Texas.
We started the business in March 2024, but the experience behind it goes back much further. Chad Pafford, the owner and operator, brings nearly two decades of combined experience in the landscaping and construction industries. That’s not just time in the field — it’s the kind of experience that helps you see a property, understand what it needs, and execute without wasting your time or money.
Chad grew up in this part of Texas and has spent most of his career working with land and with his hands. He started Pafford Land & Home after seeing how much demand there was for quality land clearing work in Northeast Texas — particularly for forestry mulching, a more efficient and environmentally sound approach to clearing than traditional methods.
The business was built around serving private landowners and ranchers — people who take their land seriously and want a contractor who will do the same. Chad operates the equipment himself and takes personal responsibility for every job his crew takes on.
On the equipment side, Chad invested in a professional-grade forestry mulching head for the skid steer — a $170,000 piece of machinery — because doing the job right means having the tools to back it up. He’s not cutting corners on equipment, and he’s not sending someone less experienced to handle your property.
Nearly two decades of combined experience in land services and the trades. That’s what Chad Pafford and his team bring to the table. Since opening in March 2024, Pafford Land & Home has built its reputation on showing up, doing the work right, and treating landowners the way they deserve to be treated.
