Our Services in Union County
Land Clearing Services
Union County is one of the fastest-growing counties in Ohio, and new construction demands professional site preparation. We clear land for residential subdivisions, commercial projects, and agricultural improvements throughout the county. From wooded parcels along the Darby Creek to farmland being converted for development near Marysville and Plain City, we handle the full scope of land clearing — trees, brush, stumps, and debris removal.
Brush & Invasive Species Removal
Union County's creek corridors, woodlots, and field edges are increasingly dominated by invasive species. Bush honeysuckle has colonized the understory of nearly every woodlot from Richwood to Milford Center. Autumn olive lines old field edges along US-33 and SR-4. Poison hemlock has exploded along Mill Creek, Bokes Creek, and the Darby Creek tributaries. We target these invasives systematically, restoring your property's health and appearance.
Forestry Mulching
Union County's flat to gently rolling terrain is ideal for forestry mulching, and this method is increasingly popular with developers and landowners alike. We grind brush and small trees back into the soil — no burning, no hauling — creating a clean, erosion-resistant surface. For agricultural properties transitioning to development, forestry mulching provides fast clearing while preserving the valuable topsoil that makes Union County ground so productive.
Pasture Reclamation & Trail Cutting
Despite rapid growth in the south, much of Union County remains agricultural, with farms that have areas overtaken by brush and invasive species. We reclaim overgrown pastures for grazing, clear fence rows, and cut recreational trails. For the growing number of rural-residential properties — particularly between Marysville and Richwood — we create trail systems for hiking, horseback riding, and hunting access.

Union County's Terrain: What Makes Land Clearing Here Unique
Union County occupies gently rolling glacial till plains in central-western Ohio, with topography that becomes slightly hillier moving north toward Richwood and flattens near the Darby Plains in the south. The soils are predominantly heavy clay — Kokomo, Crosby, and Miamian series — with excellent agricultural productivity but poor natural drainage. Most farmland is tiled, and clearing projects must be mindful of this underground infrastructure.
The county’s rapid growth creates a distinctive land clearing dynamic. Farmland that has been in production for generations is being converted for housing developments, industrial parks, and infrastructure, particularly along the US-33 corridor near Honda’s manufacturing complex. These projects require efficient, large-scale clearing with attention to grading specifications and environmental compliance. At the same time, new rural-residential property owners are investing in improving wooded acreage and clearing overgrown areas they’ve inherited with their land purchases.
Invasive species are an escalating problem in Union County. The combination of disturbed ground from construction, abandoned agricultural edges, and existing woodlot pressure has created ideal conditions for bush honeysuckle, autumn olive, and poison hemlock to spread rapidly. Bradford pear — once commonly planted along streets and in subdivisions — is now appearing as an invasive in rural hedgerows and old fields. Mill Creek and Bokes Creek corridors are especially impacted. Addressing invasives during or immediately after land clearing prevents them from recolonizing your property.
