Fence Line Clearing in Ada, OK

Fence Line Clearing · Ada, OK

A clean corridor before the fence crew shows up.

Fence line clearing opens up an old fence row so you can work it again. Brush and cedar grow into the wire a little more every year. After a few seasons the line disappears and the fence goes with it. We clear that corridor back to bare, workable ground. A Cat D6 dozer and a 30,000 pound excavator do the heavy work. A tracked skid steer cleans up behind them. Stumps come out of the ground, so the line stays clear instead of sprouting back. Debris gets piled and burned on site where burning is allowed, or hauled off. Call (580) 344-7473 for a free estimate on your fence line.

Fence line clearing and fence building are two different jobs. We clear the line. A fence builder we work with sets the posts and strings the wire. That split keeps both crews moving. A fence crew needs room, and most want at least four feet of open ground on each side. When they arrive to a cleared corridor, the build goes faster and the line runs straighter. We clear corridors for new fence and old rows that have grown shut. We also open lanes along property lines. Old wire and rotted posts come out with the brush when you want them gone.

What grows into a fence line in this part of Oklahoma?

Ada sits in the Cross Timbers, the oak woodland belt that runs through central Oklahoma. Post oak and blackjack oak are the trees you see most, with eastern redcedar mixed in. All of them find a fence row and settle in. Birds perch on the wire, eat cedar berries and drop the seed right along the line. Seedling density runs higher along fencelines that give birds a place to sit. That is why a cedar hedge so often follows a fence exactly. Cedar keeps coming once it takes hold, and that bigger job falls under cedar removal on pasture and rangeland.

An old fence row does not stay a thin strip. Brush leans over the wire, then trunks swallow it. Roots push under the line and lift posts out of plumb. By the time it is bad enough to call about, the fence is part of the tree. Pontotoc County reported 349,662 acres in farms in the 2022 ag census, and 209,046 acres of that is pastureland. Pasture means fence. Opening up an entire tract is a different scope, handled under mechanical land clearing on acreage.

What does the job look like on the ground?

We start by setting the width you want opened. A new fence build usually needs more room than a repair. The D6 pushes the heavy growth off the line and piles it in a windrow. The excavator picks stumps and root balls out whole and shakes the dirt off. The skid steer works the edges and cleans up what the dozer leaves. Debris gets burned on site where the county allows it, or loaded and hauled off. What is left is a corridor a fence crew can drive and work.

Old wire is the part people forget about. Barbed wire hidden in brush winds into tracks and final drives and cuts seals. We pull what we find, roll it up and stack it separate. Wire does not burn, so it gets hauled off rather than piled. Rotted posts and broken T-posts come out the same way. If the strip is rutted once it opens up, we can follow with grading and leveling the cleared strip.

Is it worth clearing the line before the fence goes up?

Clearing first usually costs less than fighting brush during the build. A fence crew with hand tools moves slowly through a heavy row. Saws and loppers take hours to do what a dozer does in minutes. A cleared corridor also lets the crew pull a straight line and set posts on grade. Crooked fence usually starts with a crooked path through the brush. The other reason is safety, since a post driver hitting buried wire ruins the day. Clearing also gives you a chance to see where the line actually runs.

Most of this work is on ranches and acreage where the perimeter runs long. The average Pontotoc County farm was 302 acres in the 2022 ag census. A square 302 acre place has close to 2.7 miles of fence around it. Add cross fencing and the mileage climbs fast. One ongoing ranch project near Sulphur is past 350 acres cleared, so long runs are normal here. We work a roughly 50 mile radius around Ada and travel further for large projects. The towns in that radius are listed under the areas we cover around Ada.

Call (580) 344-7473

Do you build the fence after you clear the line?
We clear the line, and a fence builder we work with builds the fence. Fence line clearing is where our work stops. We open the corridor, pull stumps and take out old wire, then hand it off. The fence crew shows up to ground they can work instead of a brush row. We can line both parts up.
What drives the cost of fence line clearing?
Length and how thick the growth is drive most of the cost. Published market guides put fence row clearing around $3–$12 per linear foot. Brush grown into an existing fence line runs about $2–$5 per foot. Stump removal, buried wire, access and haul-off move the number. A real price takes an on-site look at your line.
How wide do you clear a fence line?
Most new fence builds want about four feet of open ground on each side. That gives the fence crew room to set posts and run wire. Some ranchers want a wider strip so a truck or a sprayer can drive it. Tell us the width you want and we cut to it.
Can you take out the old fence while you clear?
Yes, old wire and rotted posts come out with the brush when you want them gone. Broken T-posts come out too. Buried barbed wire is worth pulling anyway, since it winds into tracks and final drives and cuts seals. Wire does not burn, so it gets stacked separate and hauled off.
Do you grind the brush and leave it, or take the stumps out?
We take the stumps out of the ground. Fence line clearing here is mechanical, done with a dozer and an excavator, so roots come up with the tree. Ground with stumps left in it sprouts back and fights a post driver. A cleared line with the roots gone stays open and mows clean.
