Fence Line Clearing in Marion County Horse Country

📞 Call (352) 780-7314

Marion County is horse country — more than a thousand horse farms ring Ocala, and every one of them lives and dies by its fence. Fence line clearing cuts a clean corridor along new fence routes, buried old fence rows, and property lines, so fence crews can build fast and you can maintain the line with a tractor instead of a machete.

What we clear

Width and cost

Ten feet is the working minimum for a fence crew; 15–20 feet keeps oak limbs off the wire long-term and lets you mow the corridor. Pricing runs by the linear foot and density — Marion County perimeter jobs commonly land in the $1–$4 per linear foot range, with vine-choked old fence rows at the top of it. On a 10-acre parcel, a full perimeter is roughly 2,600 linear feet: call it a $3,000–$8,000 project depending on what's grown into it.

Sequence tip that saves money: clear before you get fence quotes. Fence contractors price uncleared routes with a padding factor — a cleared corridor routinely brings the fence bid down enough to cover a chunk of the clearing.

Replacing fence entirely? Pair this with brush removal along the pasture edges and grading for gate approaches and farm lanes — one mobilization, one invoice.

Common Questions

How wide do you clear a fence line?

A 10-foot corridor is the working minimum for fence crews; 15–20 feet keeps oak limbs off the wire long-term and lets a tractor mow it.

What does fence line clearing cost?

Priced by the linear foot and density — vine-choked old fence rows cost more than open pine. Marion County perimeter jobs commonly land in the $1–$4 per linear foot range.

Can you clear along an existing fence without wrecking it?

Yes — mulching heads work tight against standing fence. It's the standard prep before fence replacement, too: clear first, and the fence crew's quote drops.
