Why Fence Lines Need Annual Cutting
Briars, saplings, and woody brush love a fence line — it’s where birds drop seeds, equipment can’t reach, and a few extra inches of sun lands at ground level. Left alone for a couple seasons in McNairy County, you get:
- Wire grown into trunks — saplings swallow the wire as they thicken, making future repair impossible without cutting trees out.
- Posts pushed out of plumb by root growth and brush leaning against them.
- Sagging bottom strands shaded out and unable to dry, accelerating rust.
- Brush bridges that let livestock work the bottom strand loose.
- Invisible damage — downed wire and bent t-posts hidden in the growth until you walk into them.
An annual or every-other-year pass keeps the line clean, the wire visible, and small repairs easy to spot before they become big ones.
How We Clear Without Cutting Wire
The trick to fence-line bush hogging is knowing where the wire is at all times. Our standard approach:
- Walk the line first with the property owner to flag downed sections, hidden t-posts, gate hardware, and corner braces.
- Cutter offset on the side of the tractor away from the fence, giving a clean cut without bringing the deck into the wire.
- Two-side passes — we cut both sides where the property allows, since pasture-side and outside-side both grow in.
- Width typically 6–10 feet back from the fence line, depending on what’s in the way and how thick it’s grown.
Pricing Approach
Fence-line work is usually priced by the linear foot or by the hour depending on how thick it is, how clean the line currently is, and whether we’re doing one side or both. We give a written quote after we know what we’re looking at. Here’s how our quotes work.
