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

Fence Lines in Flint

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 Flint

Flint is the unincorporated country southwest of Tyler along Old Jacksonville Highway (FM 2493), Hwy 155 and FM 346, and it is where South Tyler is growing fastest. Gresham on the north end runs straight into the city, Noonday is just down the road, Lake Palestine is a few minutes west, and the south end of Loop 49 has put all of it within an easy drive of town. The result is that wooded tracts that were pasture or timber for generations are being carved into acreage homesites, and every one of them has the same yaupon understory under the pines and post oaks. I spend a lot of my year in Flint. I open house pads and drives on new lots off FM 2493 and FM 346, mulch understory on tracts so the owner can walk them, clear the lots on the east side of Lake Palestine along Hwy 155 so there is a view, take down dead pines before a storm does it, and clear fence lines for the small horse places that are everywhere out here. The soil is deep sand, which makes mulching the right call: a chip layer keeps a fresh clearing from washing down the slope toward the lake. One operator, one machine, a per-acre or per-job price set after a walk.
