Expert Fence Row Removal Services in DeWitt

J.E. Excavating & Grading provides professional fence row removal services throughout DeWitt and Clinton County. DeWitt is a growing suburban community in Clinton County, offering a balance of small-town charm and convenient access to Lansing. As a suburban community, DeWitt has old farm properties with deteriorating fence rows, overgrown hedge lines, and abandoned fencing that create maintenance headaches and waste usable land.

Why DeWitt Properties Need Fence Row Removal

DeWitt experiences typical mid-Michigan winters with consistent snowfall from November through March. Abandoned fence rows harbor invasive species, shelter pests, and make mowing and property maintenance difficult. They also create legal questions about property boundaries when they don't align with actual survey lines. Removing old fence rows opens up usable land and makes way for proper fencing on the correct property line.

Clinton County soils in the DeWitt area include glacial deposits that can include clay, sand, and gravel layers. Our experience working in Clinton County means we understand the local conditions and how to address them effectively.

Our Fence Row Removal Process

We remove old fence posts (including concrete-set and driven steel), pull wire fencing, and clear the brush and tree lines that have grown up along abandoned fence rows. The cleared strip is then graded smooth and either seeded or prepped for the property's intended use. We dispose of all wire, posts, and debris. Every project in DeWitt receives personalized attention from owner Jarod, who oversees work from start to finish.

Frequently Asked Questions About Fence Row Removal

How much does fence row removal cost?
Costs depend on the length of the fence row, the amount of tree and brush growth, and the type of fencing material. Light fence rows with just wire and posts run $3 to $8 per linear foot. Heavily overgrown rows with mature trees, concrete posts, and decades of accumulated brush cost significantly more. We quote per project after a site visit.
Can you remove fence rows without disturbing the rest of my property?
Yes. We work along the fence line with compact equipment when space is tight and use full-size excavators when there's room. We contain debris and restore the disturbed area to grade after removal. Adjacent lawn, gardens, and structures are protected during the work.
Should I have the property surveyed before removing an old fence row?
We strongly recommend it. Old fence rows often don't follow actual property lines, and removing one may reveal that the effective boundary has been different from the legal boundary for decades. A survey before removal avoids disputes with neighbors and ensures any new fence goes in the right place.
