What Is Fence Line Clearing?

Fence line clearing removes brush, trees, and overgrowth along existing or former fence lines. Clear fence lines improve access for repairs, prevent damage to fencing, and clearly define property boundaries.

Fence line clearing is commonly needed for:

  • Farm and pasture fences

  • Boundary and property lines

  • Livestock containment

  • New fence installation

  • Reclaiming old or buried fence rows

  • Improving access and visibility

Our Fence Line Clearing Services

Every fence line presents unique challenges. We evaluate vegetation density, terrain, and fence condition to recommend the most effective clearing method.

Our fence line clearing services include:

  • Forestry mulching along fence lines

  • Skid steer bush hogging for maintenance clearing

  • Selective brush and sapling removal

  • Clearing for new fence installation

  • Reclaiming overgrown or abandoned fence rows

  • Access trail creation along fence lines

Traditional Fence Line Clearing with Heavy Equipment

For heavily overgrown fence lines, buried fencing, or full removal and reset projects, we also offer traditional fence line clearing using heavy equipment.

Using our 30-ton excavator and 30-ton bulldozer, we can handle large-scale and demanding fence line projects, including:

  • Removing large trees and root balls

  • Pushing and clearing decades of overgrowth

  • Excavating and removing buried fence material

  • Clearing wide corridors for fence replacement

  • Preparing ground for new fence construction

Traditional clearing is ideal when fence lines have been completely lost to time or when land is being fully reworked for agricultural or development use.

Forestry Mulching vs Traditional Fence Line Clearing

We help clients choose the best method based on their goals:

  • Forestry Mulching: Ideal for maintaining existing fence lines, minimizing soil disturbance, and controlling brush and saplings.

  • Traditional Clearing: Best for heavy timber, buried fencing, major realignment, or full fence replacement projects.

In many cases, a combination of both methods delivers the best long-term results.
