Who clears pasture and fence lines for horse farms in hunt country?
We do, and the name gives it away: Huntly Land Co. was built for the hunt country. From headquarters in Chadds Ford we serve the horse farms and equestrian estates of Unionville, West Marlborough, Kennett, Cochranville, and the wider Brandywine Valley, where keeping ground open is a constant fight against multiflora rose, autumn olive, and woods that close in a little more every season. Pasture reclamation, fence-line clearing, riding trails, sightlines, and turnout-safe finishes are the core of what we do, not a sideline. Our fleet is led by the state-of-the-art Cat 285XE forestry package running a drum mulcher, an industrial brush cutter, and a grapple, and it leaves a finish a horse can walk the week you turn back out.
What we handle on equestrian ground
Pasture reclamation
Woody invasion cut, ground, and finished turnout-safe: no stobs, no sharp stumps, chip cover that holds back regrowth while grass returns.
Full service pageFence lines
Lines opened for inspection and repair without wrecking the fence, failed sections exposed, full corridors cleared ahead of replacement.
Riding trails and sightlines
New cuts to ridable width, grown-in lines reopened, water-shedding chip surface, seasonal maintenance available.
Paddock and building-site prep
Footprints cleared and ground clean for your builder, marked trees held, turnout adjacency handled with the finish it demands.
Horse-farm questions, answered straight
- What makes land clearing different on a horse farm?
- The finish. A turnout is only reclaimed if a horse can walk it safely, so we grind woody stems below trip height, leave no stobs or sharp stumps, and walk the ground with you before we call it done. Scheduling also works around your turnout rotation, not against it.
- Can you clear fence lines without damaging the fence?
- Yes, and it is some of our steadiest work. We run tight to board and wire, expose failed sections hidden in thicket, and leave the line clean for your fence contractor. Where the fence is coming out anyway, we clear the full corridor for the replacement crew.
- Do you cut and maintain riding trails?
- We cut new trails to a ridable width, reopen grown-in lines, and maintain systems on a seasonal schedule. The chip surface the mulcher leaves sheds water and holds up under hooves better than bare cut ground.
- Can you prep ground for paddocks, pads, and farm buildings?
- We clear and grind the footprint, hold the trees you mark, and leave the area clean for your excavation or building contractor to take grade. Grading and pad prep itself is scoped case by case.
