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

Fence Lines in Van

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 Van

Van is a small Van Zandt County town on I-20 between Lindale and Canton, best known for the Van oil field that was discovered under it in 1929 and still has pumpjacks nodding in the pastures around town. Hwy 110 runs north from the interstate through Van, FM 314 runs south toward Edom, and the land on all sides is a mix of sandy pasture, post oak and pine woods, and old lease ground that nobody has cleared since the oil boom. It is cheaper than Lindale and Tyler and an easy run to Dallas on I-20, so acreage around Van is moving. I clear homesites and drives for people building out here, mulch understory on wooded tracts off Hwy 110 and FM 314, clear fence lines and reopen lease roads and pipeline rights-of-way on old oil field acreage, and take back pasture that has gone to sweetgum, briars and cedar. The ground is sandy and the brush comes back fast, so I lean on mulching: it clears everything in a pass, leaves chips on the ground instead of bare sand, and costs less per acre than a push-and-burn clear. Per-acre or per-job price, set after I walk the tract with you.
