Fence Line ClearingProtect Fences, Define Boundaries

Fence line clearing costs $2-20 per linear foot depending on vegetation density and clearing width. Light brush: $2-5/ft. Moderate brush: $5-10/ft. Heavy brush/trees: $10-20/ft. For a mile of fence line with moderate brush (20-30 ft wide clearing), expect $26,000-$53,000. We provide exact quotes after assessment.

Standard recommendations: 10-15 feet minimum just to expose the fence. 20-30 feet for good access and maintenance (most common). 30-50 feet for vehicle patrol access and significant firebreak. Match existing cleared areas if you're extending previous work. We can advise based on your specific needs and budget.

Our operators are experienced with fence line work and take care not to damage fences. However, if brush has grown heavily into and around the fence for years, some wire may already be damaged or embedded in trees. We'll expose the fence carefully, but existing damage may become visible once brush is removed. This actually helps - you can now see and repair issues.

Yes. Many clients clear only their side of the fence line, especially along property boundaries with neighbors. We can clear to the fence line on your property without impacting the neighbor's side. For fences on your property line, you may want to coordinate with neighbors for clearing on both sides.

Clear first, then repair. Clearing exposes the fence so you can assess the full extent of damage. Trying to repair through thick brush is difficult and expensive. Once cleared, you (or your fence contractor) can efficiently inspect, repair, or replace the fence with full access.

A single forestry mulcher can clear approximately 1,000-3,000 linear feet per day depending on vegetation density. One mile of moderate fence line: 2-5 days. Heavy brush or very wide clearing: longer. Multi-mile projects: 1-3 weeks. We provide timeline estimates with your quote.
