Fence Line Clearing in Marion County Horse Country
📞 Call (352) 780-7314Marion 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
- New fence routes — a clean 10–20 ft corridor, stumps ground low or grubbed on the post line
- Existing fence rescue — vines, volunteer oaks, and palmetto mulched tight against standing wire without wrecking it
- Property line definition — cut to the survey so the line is visible and defensible (good fences make good neighbors; visible lines make good closings)
- Cross-fencing corridors for pasture rotation on working farms
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.
Replacing fence entirely? Pair this with brush removal along the pasture edges and grading for gate approaches and farm lanes — one mobilization, one invoice.

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.
