Honeysuckle to open ground, one pass

A Central Ohio property before and after forestry mulching. The brush and saplings were ground into a mulch layer where they stood, and the big trees stayed.

A wooded lot choked with honeysuckle, saplings and fallen limbsBefore
Before: brush so thick you couldn't walk it.
The same woods after mulching, an open path of mulch between the standing treesAfter
After: open ground, the trees kept, the mulch left down.

One contractor for the whole site

Land jobs grow. One of ours started as a couple of trails. Then the owner asked for a road cut-in, a culvert, a retention pond repair, and grading and soil to finish it off. We're a licensed Ohio general contractor, so every step stayed on one contract with one crew.

    Our own machines and our own operators, from standing timber to finish grade.

Common questions

How do you price a job?

Answer the questions at the top of this page for a ballpark. Then we walk the property and give you one flat number in writing before any work starts. That number holds.

Do I need a separate company for the grading, the driveway or the pond?

No. We're a licensed Ohio general contractor. Clearing, excavation, grading, drainage, driveways and demolition all go on one contract.

Do you take small jobs?

Site visits are for jobs of $2,500 and up. Mulching or clearing under 4 acres, with nothing else going on at the property, we price over the phone instead of driving out.

What is forestry mulching?

A drum mulcher on a John Deere 333G grinds brush and trees up to 14 inches where they stand. The mulch stays on the ground, so there's nothing to burn or haul away.

Where do you work?

Columbus and the counties around it: Franklin, Delaware, Licking, Fairfield, Union and Madison. Not sure you're in range? Put your address in the form and we'll tell you when we call.

Are you insured, and do you call 811?

Yes to both. We're licensed and insured, and we call Ohio 811 for utility locates before every job that breaks ground.
