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

Fence Lines in Jacksonville

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 Jacksonville

Jacksonville is the biggest town in Cherokee County, about 30 miles south of Tyler on US-69, the old Tomato Capital with the Tomato Bowl downtown and Love’s Lookout on the ridge north of town looking out over miles of pine. Lake Jacksonville sits southwest of the city, US-79 runs east and west through it, and the land in every direction is deep East Texas timber on steep red clay hills. Cherokee County is thicker and hillier than Smith County: loblolly and shortleaf pine, red oak, hickory, sweetgum, and yaupon as dense as it gets. I clear homesites and drives on acreage off US-69 and US-79, underbrush lake lots at Lake Jacksonville, open up hunting and recreational tracts toward Rusk and New Summerfield, mulch fence lines and lanes on timber tracts, and clear hazard pines around homes before a storm does it. The clay hills here gully badly when they are stripped, so mulching in place is more than a preference. The chip layer holds the slope through the next hard rain, which a bare dozer cut never does. One operator, one machine, priced by the acre or the job after I walk the tract with you.
