Fence Line and Access Lane Clearing in Longs, SC

Fence Line Clearing · Longs, SC

Overgrown Fence Lines, Mulched in Place

Fence line clearing gets your boundary back after brush takes it over. We work out of Longs, SC, in the farm country where pasture and crop land run up against the woods. Wax myrtle and briars climb the wire fast here. A fence row that was clean three seasons ago can disappear under green. Our Bobcat T300 carries a forestry mulcher head and grinds that growth down where it stands. The chips fall along the line as mulch. You get a clean edge you can see and mow again.

Fence line clearing usually comes up after land gets away over a few wet seasons. Owners want the wire visible before a survey or before new fence goes up. We clear up to the fence and leave it standing. We do not build or repair fence, so a fence crew can work a clean line behind us. The T300 is a compact track loader, so it fits between the wire and the tree line. Tracks spread the weight on our sandy, wet ground. When a whole field has gone to brush, that job is Pasture Reclamation.

How Does the Fence Line Get Cleared?

Fence line clearing starts with a look at the line. We ask how long the run is and how thick the growth has gotten. Then we set a day and bring the T300 in on a trailer. The mulcher head takes the brush down in passes, from the outside edge toward the wire. Saplings and volunteer trees in the line go the same way. Everything ends up as chips on the ground. There is nothing to burn and nothing to haul off.

Fence row clearing goes faster on a line that has been kept up. A line with heavy vine and saplings in the wire takes more passes. One fence line on a small farm is often a single day of work. Longer runs on bigger tracts can take two days or more. We can leave the mulch thin so grass comes back through it. On a lane you drive, a thicker layer holds up better in wet weather.

Boundary Lines Before a Survey

Property line clearing opens a corner or a whole boundary so you can see it. Surveyors need a sight line before they can set pins. New fence needs a cleared strip before posts go in. We mulch a working width along the line and stop where you tell us. Pin flags and corner markers stay where they are when you point them out first. On lines with no fence yet, we work off your survey map or your flags.

An access lane is a path on your own land, cut wide enough to drive. Owners use one to reach a back field or a spot they plan to build on. We mulch the growth down to a drivable width and keep the run where the ground is firm. Width is your call, and we can open it wide enough for a truck or a tractor. Utility corridors along power lines and pipelines are outside what we do.

Hunting Tracts and Yearly Upkeep

On a hunting tract, the work is about sight lines and getting around. We cut trails between stands so you can move without fighting briars. Shooting lanes go to the width and length you mark. Edges of a food plot can be cleaned up the same day. Flagging tape on the corners ahead of time speeds up the day. Nothing gets hauled off, so the chips stay down and hold the dirt. We stay off wet bottoms when the water table is up.

Fence line clearing does not last forever on this ground. Wax myrtle and briars come back, and vines find the wire again. A fence you want kept clean is worth a pass every year or two. A lane you drive often stays open longer on its own. We cover about fifty miles around Longs, SC. That takes in Horry and Georgetown counties in SC, plus Brunswick and Columbus counties in NC.

What does fence line clearing cost?
Length of the line sets the base. Thick growth with vines and saplings in the wire takes more passes, which adds time. Access matters too, since a tight gate or a wet approach slows the machine down. We look at the line first and quote the job before any work starts. Estimates are free.
Can you clear right up to my fence without tearing it up?
Yes. The T300 is compact, so it works close to the wire without leaning on it. We come at the growth from the open side and take it back in passes. Vines woven into the wire come off by hand where the head cannot reach. Show us weak spots or old posts first and we will keep off them.
Can you cut a hunting trail or shooting lanes on my land?
Yes, on private property. We cut trails between stands and open shooting lanes to the width you want. Flag the route or the lane ends and we follow your marks. The growth gets mulched into the ground, so nothing is left piled in your lane. Best time is well ahead of season.
Do you build or repair the fence after clearing?
No. We clear growth off the line and stop there. We do not set posts or run wire. What we can do is leave a clean strip so a fence crew can come behind us and work. Clearing first also makes it easier to get a fence price, since the line is visible.
What if the brush runs wider than the fence line?
That happens on old lines that have not been touched in years. We can take a wider strip along the fence, or clear the block behind it. Once the work moves off the line and into open acreage, it falls under Forestry Mulching. Same machine and head, quoted by the area instead of the length of the line.
