Fence Line & Right-of-Way Clearing in Canton, TX

Fence Lines in Canton

Fence lines disappear fast in Smith County. Yaupon and briar grow up through the wire, sweetgum saplings push the posts over, and within a few years you cannot walk the line, let alone fix it. Property lines go the same way, and so do pipeline easements, power line rights-of-way and the ranch roads that get you to the back of the place. I clear those strips back to a clean, consistent width the whole length of the line. For a fence that means mulching the brush off the old wire so you can pull it and set new posts, with a buffer on each side so it does not close back in by next summer. For a property line it means opening a clear sight line so a surveyor can find the pins and you can see where your land stops. For easements and lanes it means a strip wide enough to drive and maintain. Linear clearing is its own kind of work: you need a clean edge, a steady width and a machine that can work tight along wire without tearing up the pasture on either side. That is what the mulcher does best, and I do a lot of it on ranchettes and acreage from Lindale to Jacksonville and Canton to Gilmer.

Land clearing in Canton

Canton is the Van Zandt County seat on I-20, 35 miles west of Tyler, and most of Texas knows it for First Monday Trade Days, the enormous monthly flea market that fills the north side of town. The rest of the month it is a quiet courthouse town surrounded by ranch and acreage country along Hwy 19, Hwy 64 and Hwy 243, with Mill Creek Lake on its south side. This is the western edge of the piney woods. The ground is sandy loam and the trees are post oak, hickory and scattered pine, and the brush that takes over a neglected place here is eastern red cedar, greenbriar and sweetgum rather than the solid yaupon of Smith County. I clear homesites and drives for people building around Canton, mulch cedar and brush off pasture that has grown shut, clear fence lines and property lines on ranchettes toward Edgewood, Ben Wheeler and Grand Saline, and open up wooded tracts people bought for the weekend. Cedar is good news for a landowner: it grinds easily and does not grow back from the stump, so a mulched pasture stays clear with a little shredding. One operator, one machine, priced by the acre or the job after I walk the place with you.
