Old fence rows across Montgomery County are often a tangle of privet, cedar, wild cherry, blackberry and rusted wire. Clearing a clean strip makes new fence building faster and keeps limbs from crushing it later.
Width and where the line runs
A typical fence corridor is wide enough for a machine to drive alongside the new fence, plus a few feet on each side. For a private drive, the cleared width needs to allow for the road surface, ditches and room for trucks. Tell the contractor the finished width you need.
If the line is a property boundary, have it surveyed and flagged before clearing. Clearing past the line onto a neighbor's land is one of the most common disputes in rural clearing. Talk to the neighbor first if the fence will be shared.
Old wire and buried hazards
Old barbed wire wrapped into tree trunks and lying in leaves can tangle in mulching heads and cutters. Ask whether the contractor will pull and dispose of old wire and posts, or whether you should handle that first. Note any steel T-posts, concrete corners or gates still in the ground.
Road frontage and utility corridors
Work along a county road or state highway such as US-80, US-82 or US-231 may involve the county engineer or ALDOT if it touches their right-of-way or needs a new driveway connection. Utility easements belong to the utility for access, so check with Alabama Power, your electric co-op or the gas company before clearing under lines or over pipelines, and call Alabama 811 before any digging.
Frequently asked questions
Can trees along the line be left?
Yes, if they will not interfere with the fence. Mark them and ask for selective brush clearing along the strip.
How is a long strip priced?
By length, width, density and wire removal. The cost guide explains what moves the estimate.
