Quick Answer

What is forestry mulching?
Forestry mulching is a one-step land-clearing method that uses a forestry mulcher to grind brush, saplings, small trees, and invasive vegetation into mulch that stays on the ground as protective cover.
What does forestry mulching cost?
In Central Indiana, forestry mulching typically runs about $500–$1,500+ per acre for lighter vegetation, with dense or heavily wooded acreage costing more. Half-day and full-day rates are also available.
What types of vegetation can be cleared?
Light and heavy brush, saplings, small-to-medium trees, fence rows, vines, and invasive species such as honeysuckle, autumn olive, and multiflora rose.
How long does a forestry mulching project take?
Light, open acreage can be cleared in part of a day; dense, heavily wooded acreage takes one or more days. We give a realistic time estimate after a free on-site walkthrough.

What Is Fence Row Clearing?

Fence row clearing is the removal of the brush, vines, briars, saplings, and trees that build up along fence lines over time. On farms and rural acreage, fence rows become overgrown thickets that damage fencing, harbor pests, shade pasture, and make property lines impossible to maintain.

We clear fence rows mechanically with a Bobcat T76 forestry mulcher and skid steer, grinding growth into mulch on-site and pulling stumps where the fence is being replaced. We work carefully up to fencing you want to keep and clear fully where old fence is coming out.

A cleared fence row is easier to fence, easier to mow, and adds usable width back to fields and yards.

Removes pest and rodent habitat along the line

    Walk the Line

    We walk the fence row, confirm what stays and what goes, and check for utilities and buried wire.

  2. 2

    Estimate

    Free per-project pricing based on length, density, and whether fence is being kept or removed.

  3. 3

    Clear the Row

    Forestry mulcher grinds brush and saplings; excavator pulls stumps where new fence is going in.

  4. 4

    Finish

Fence Row Clearing Pricing

Fence row clearing is usually priced per linear foot or per project, based on the length of the row, how dense and mature the growth is, and whether stumps need to be pulled for new fencing.

Light fence-line brush is affordable to mulch; heavy rows with large volunteer trees and stump removal cost more. We provide a free on-site estimate.
