Calgary Brush Clearing for Fence Lines:  DIY or Call the Pros?

Introduction

Installing a fence can bring aesthetic appeal, privacy, and improved security to Calgary properties.  But, overgrown brush along planned fence lines can turn this project into a major headache.   Should you tackle clearing yourself, or is investing in professional brush clearing the smarter route?

Let's explore the DIY challenges, discover the advantages of dedicated brush clearing experts, and understand why Apex Tree Service LTD simplifies the process for pristine fence installation outcomes.

Why Clearing for Fence Lines Matters

Don't underestimate this initial step – its execution  impacts your fence for decades:

• Visibility: Overhanging branches, dense undergrowth, and fallen debris hinder accurate layout and post placement.
• Construction Access: Equipment, materials, and personnel need space and unobstructed pathways to work efficiently.
• Fence Longevity: Untamed vegetation leads to moisture rot, shifting posts, and creates entry points for pests to shorten your fence's lifespan.
• Property Line Conflicts: Untended brush quickly masks boundaries, potentially encroaching on neighborly landscapes during your project.

The Battle:  DIY Brush Clearing vs. Hiring Professionals

Let's weigh the pros and cons of  clearing brush yourself versus choosing expert services:

DIY

• Pros: Potential cost savings (sometimes), full control over the scope of work and timeline.
• Cons: Hidden costs - tool rental, disposal fees, unexpected project scope expansion. Risk of improper equipment handling, and significant personal time commitment.

Professional

• Pros: Efficiency, precision clearing with machinery, proper debris disposal, safety protocols, and the ability to identify potentially problematic species.
• Cons: Investment of budget, but time-saved and liability reduction often translate to long-term value.

FAQs  – Calgary Brush Clearing for Fencing

• Q: Does the time of year impact this project? A: While doable year-round, clearing leafless brush offers visibility advantages, and frozen ground sometimes aids access to boggy areas.
• Q: Do I need a survey before I clear the fence line? A: Highly recommended! Professional surveys define your boundaries, preventing disputes or costly fence corrections post-installation.
• Q: Will clearing brush alone prevent weeds near my fence? A: Initially yes, but smart mulch options after clearing create an even better barrier, and it aids in maintaining fence-adjacent landscapes.
