A fence can remain standing long after it stops being serviceable. Multiflora rose wraps the wire. Saplings grow between posts. Fallen limbs load the line, and vines hide broken boards from view. By the time an animal escapes or a surveyor needs access, the corridor may be too tight for normal mowing equipment.
Fence rows collect seed from birds, wind and neighboring vegetation. Once brush grows through wire, routine cutting becomes dangerous and slow. Old agricultural lines may also contain loose wire, buried posts and unexpected corners, which makes a blind mulching pass inappropriate.
Contour walks the alignment first, identifies wire and access hazards, and distinguishes between clearing beside a fence, reclaiming an existing line and opening a corridor for new installation. Excavator reach can remove material from one side while limiting machine travel along soft or obstructed ground. Tight hand work, disposal and fence repair remain separate tasks and are discussed before the quote.
Horse farms, small livestock properties and large residential lots are part of the landscape from Newbury and Burton to Hiram, Mantua, Russell and Chester. Long lines cross wet corners, woods and slopes where brush hogs cannot safely work. Clearing should respect drainage, boundary certainty and the mature shade trees that may be deliberately retained along a pasture.
These service pages explain the methods in more detail. The on-site visit determines the right combination.
Sometimes, but the condition, material and amount of vegetation matter. We inspect the line and explain what can reasonably be preserved.
Contour's focus is clearing and site preparation. We can coordinate the corridor with the owner's fence contractor.
Hidden wire is a serious equipment hazard. Known and suspected wire must be identified before mechanical work begins.
Often, yes. The working side, access and reach are evaluated on site.
Send the township, a few photos and what you want the area to become. We will tell you whether Contour is the right fit.
