Fence line clearing
We keep clear access along your boundary fences and stop overgrowth from damaging posts and wire.

Vegetation issues we address
Common problems
- Vine entanglement. Climbing vines that pull on wire and posts.
- Tree overhang. Branches that fall on or grow through the fence.
- Grass build-up. Tall grass that traps moisture and rusts wire.
- Woody weeds. Lantana, blackberry and other invasive species.
- Root damage. Vegetation that loosens and undermines posts.
Our solutions
- Selective clearing. We target the problem and keep useful vegetation.
- Access corridors. Wide enough for vehicles and equipment.
- Preventive maintenance. Regular visits to slow regrowth.
- Chemical-free options. Mechanical clearing for sensitive areas.
- Debris management. We mulch or remove the cleared material.
How it works
Assessment
We walk the fence lines, note problem areas and check access for vehicles and equipment.
Planning
We plan the clearing to suit the fence type, the vegetation and the width you need.
Clearing
We clear with the right tools and techniques, working carefully around posts and wire.
Maintenance
We can set up an ongoing program to keep the fence lines clear and accessible.
Equipment we use
We use electric Kress hand tools for regular clearing, which keeps the work quiet and free of on-site emissions. For overgrown or large areas, we use a 36-inch petrol Bobcat zero-turn mower.
Hand tools
- Brush cutters. Precise work near posts and wire.
- Hedge trimmers. Shaping and tidying cleared areas.
- Hand saws. Careful work around fence fittings.
Machinery
- Bobcat zero-turn mower. Wide corridors on large or overgrown blocks.
- 4WD access. Reaching remote fence lines.
Safety gear
- Protective clothing. Cut-resistant and high-visibility gear.
- Face protection. Helmets with mesh visors.
- First aid. A full kit for work on remote properties.
