Fence Line Clearing in Hillsboro, TX

Fence Line Clearing · Hillsboro, TX

Fence rows cleared so you can reach the wire

Fence line clearing takes a grown-up fence row back to open ground. Mesquite and Ashe juniper, the tree most people here call cedar, crowd in along the wire. Soon the fence is hard to find, let alone fix. We clear fence lines and property lines around Hillsboro with a skid steer and a forestry mulching head.

The mulcher grinds the brush and small trees where they stand, and the mulch stays on the ground. The method is forestry mulching, aimed at one long strip instead of a whole pasture. Fence line clearing is one part of our land clearing in Hillsboro and across Hill County. We clear ranch and farm fences and the line between two homes on acreage.

Cedar and Mesquite Fence Rows Across Hill County

Birds eat cedar berries and hackberries, then drop the seeds where they perch. A fence is a long row of perches. USDA rangeland notes for the Grand Prairie list fences among the first places cedar takes hold.

Mesquite moves in too, because cattle spread the beans in their droppings. Vines climb the posts, and elm comes up beside them. Trees that grow through the wire stretch it and push the posts out of line. One falling limb can flatten a whole span.

It happens on the black clay farmland around Hillsboro and in the limestone country toward Lake Whitney. A fence row left alone turns into a wall of brush, and the wire disappears inside it. Then cattle find the gaps before you do.

Can You Clear a Fence Row With the Fence Still Standing?

Yes. We mulch a strip along the standing fence and leave the posts and wire in place. The mulching head takes the brush down beside the wire, so you can see the fence and reach it again.

Before the work starts, show us where old wire lies in the brush. Loose wire can wrap around a mulching head, and old posts hide in thick growth. Big post oaks on the line are a job for a tree service, and we mulch the brush around them.

Brush past the line belongs to your neighbor. Talk with them before a shared fence row gets cleared, and both sides can open up at once.

Clearing a Property Line for a Survey or a New Fence

If you are not sure where the line runs, have it surveyed before the brush comes down. A licensed surveyor can find or set the corners, and we clear along those marks. That keeps the cleared strip on your side of the line.

For a new fence, fence row clearing comes first, and we leave an open strip of mulched ground. Stump grinding takes any stump in the way down to grade before the posts go in.

Before anyone digs post holes, call Texas 811 at least two business days ahead. The call gets buried utility lines marked. A water line you ran across your own land is yours to point out.

FAQ

Fence Line Clearing Questions, Answered

Common questions about fence line clearing around Hillsboro and the surrounding counties. If yours is not here, call or text and ask.

Call (817) 937-1506

How much does fence line clearing cost?
Length and brush thickness set most of the price for fence line clearing. The width of the strip and the size of the trees matter too. Old wire buried in the brush slows the work, so tell us about it up front. We look at the job and put the quote in writing before the work starts.
Will the brush grow back along the fence?
Some of it will. Cedar does not sprout from a cut stump, though seed in the soil can start new cedar. Hackberry cut at the base sprouts again from the root collar. A pass while the regrowth is small keeps the line open, just as brush clearing does for a pasture.
Do you build the new fence too?
A fence contractor builds the fence, and we clear the line ahead of them. Clearing first lets the builder see the ground the new fence crosses.
Do you do right of way clearing along a road?
We clear the fence row along your own road frontage. Past the fence, the strip may be county or state right of way. The county road and bridge office, or TxDOT on a state highway, says what can be cut there. Brush under a power line is work for the electric utility.
How wide a strip do you clear along a fence?
You choose the width when we look at the job. A narrow pass opens the wire for checks and repairs. A wider lane leaves a fence builder room to work.
Where do you clear fence lines?
Hillsboro sits at the center of our service area, and we work across Hill County. We also clear fence lines in the towns along I-35 between Waco and the south Dallas Fort Worth suburbs. Call or text (817) 937-1506 to set up a look at your line.
