Around Henderson County, fence rows grow up in hackberry, cedar elm, bois d'arc, sweetgum and pine, with vines and briars tying it all together. Old barbed wire and T-posts are often buried in the brush.
Width, wire and the line itself
Most fence projects want a cleared strip on one or both sides wide enough for a post driver and a tractor. Decide whether the old fence stays, comes out with the brush or gets rolled up by hand first, because wire tangled in a mulching head stops work fast. If the property line is in doubt, have it surveyed before anyone clears, so the new fence ends up in the right place.
Talk to the neighbor about trees on the line before they come down.
Roads and right-of-way strips
Ranch roads, firebreaks and access strips are cleared the same way, often by mulching to a set width. Utility and pipeline right-of-way belongs to its easement holder; check with the company before clearing on or near it, and call Texas 811 before any digging or grinding near marked lines.
Frequently asked questions
How wide should a fence line strip be?
Commonly wide enough for the fencing equipment on at least one side. Your fence builder can tell you what they need.
Can the old wire be removed too?
Often, but say so up front. Wire removal is slow handwork and changes the price.
