Fence Row Clearing In Central Illinois

A fence row that's gone to brush is a few feet of lost ground on both sides, a home for groundhogs and tree seed, and a headache come planting and spraying. Let it go ten years and it's a tree line. The fix is to clear it back to the line and reclaim the strip.

Brohez Trucking LLC clears overgrown fence rows across central Illinois — brush, saplings, volunteer trees, and the old fence buried in the middle of it. We cut and push the growth out, grub the stumps and roots, pull the old woven wire, barbed wire, and posts, and grade the strip back so you can farm it, mow it, or run a new fence straight down it.

The point isn't just to knock it down — it's to leave workable ground. Stumps grubbed so the planter and the post auger run clean. Roots out. Debris piled and burned or hauled. Old wire gone so nothing wraps an axle or a brush hog later.

🚜 The Right Iron For The Row

Cat D6N dozer to push out brush and small trees and grade the strip back. Komatsu PC150LC-6 excavator with a thumb to pull trees, grub stumps, and load debris. Takeuchi TL150 and Cat 259D3 track loaders and the JCB 8040ZTS mini for tight work and cleanup. See the full fleet at /equipment/.

One contractor for the cut, the push, the stumps, the wire, the haul-off, and the finish grade. Call and we'll come walk the row. The estimate is free.

Our Fence Row Process

Whether it's a brushy line or a grown-up tree row, the steps are the same.

STEP 01

Walk The Row

We walk the fence line, look at how heavy it's grown in and how big the trees are, ask what you want the strip for after, and write a straight number. Free.

STEP 02

Pull The Old Fence

Woven wire, barbed wire, T-posts, and old line posts come out first — including wire that's grown into the trees — so nothing gets buried in the debris pile.

STEP 03

Cut & Push Out

Brush, saplings, and trees cut and pushed out with the dozer or pulled with the excavator and thumb, worked off the row to keep field disturbance to the strip.

STEP 04

Grub Stumps & Roots

Stumps and root balls grubbed out so nothing's left to catch tillage, fight a post auger, or send up suckers next spring.

STEP 05

Burn Or Haul

Debris piled and burned on-site where conditions and rules allow, or hauled to a proper disposal site. Firewood logs set aside if you want them.

STEP 06

Grade The Strip

The cleared strip graded back smooth and ready — to disc and farm, to mow, or for a fence crew to set a straight new line. Buried tile outlets located and protected.

Every Kind Of Overgrown Line

From a brushy line between two fields to a grown-up tree row that's eating an acre.

Reclaim Cropland

Clear the brush and trees that have crept into the field on both sides of the row, grub the stumps, and grade the strip back into production. Get those headland acres farming again.

Clear For New Fence

A straight, open, stump-free line ready for the fence crew. Old fence pulled, roots grubbed, post line clean for the auger. We make the ground ready; we don't build the fence.

Old Wire & Post Removal

Woven wire, barbed wire, T-posts, and rotted wood posts pulled and hauled — including wire grown into the trees — so nothing wraps a brush hog or an axle later.

Brush & Sapling Clearing

Multiflora rose, honeysuckle, autumn olive, and volunteer saplings cut and pushed out before they turn into a tree line.

Tree Row Removal

Grown-up Osage orange, elm, mulberry, and volunteer hardwood removed root and all, debris piled and burned or hauled.

Field Edge & Headland Cleanup

Trimming back the brushy field edges and turn rows that have crept in, opening sight lines and giving equipment room to work.

Property & Lot Lines

Overgrown property lines and rural lot edges cleared to open the view, set a new fence, or just take the strip back.

Tile Outlet Protection

Tile outlets buried in old fence rows located and protected during the push-out — and repaired if they were damaged. See field tile repair.

Fence Row Clearing FAQs

How much does fence row clearing cost?

Depends on the length of the row, how heavy it's grown in, the size of the trees, what's done with the debris, and whether old wire and posts come out. A few hundred feet of brush is a half-day; heavy timber along a long row takes longer. Free on-site estimate — call (217) 809-0779.

Can you clear a fence row back to workable ground?

Yes. We cut and push out the growth, grub the stumps, pull the old fence, and grade the strip back so you can farm it, mow it, or run a new fence down it. Workable ground, not just a knocked-down mess.

Do you remove old fence wire and posts?

Yes — woven wire, barbed wire, T-posts, and old line posts pulled and hauled, including wire grown into the trees. Tell us at the estimate so we plan for it.

Can you clear for a new fence?

Yes — we clear the line, pull the old fence, grub stumps and roots so post holes run clean, and leave a straight open strip ready for the fence crew. We don't build fence, but we get the ground ready.

What do you do with the brush and trees?

Pile and burn on-site where conditions and rules allow, or haul to a proper disposal site. Firewood logs set aside if you want them.

Will it tear up my field?

We work off the row and keep disturbance to the strip. Stumps and roots come out, the ground gets graded back ready to disc and farm. Buried tile outlets get located and protected.

Do you grub the stumps too?

Yes — stumps and roots grubbed so nothing catches tillage or fights a post auger. See our stump removal service for standalone stump work.
