Bush Honeysuckle Taking Over Your Central Ohio Land?
Serving landowners across Franklin, Delaware, Licking, Fairfield & Pickaway Counties.
If you own acreage in Central Ohio you may be fighting troublesome species like Bush Honeysuckle, Multiflora Rose, Autumn Olive, or Buckthorn. They steal water, limit access, and choke out your hardwoods. The solution is forestry mulching — we clear 2-3 acres a day on one machine and most jobs come in well under what landowners brace for. You’ll talk directly to Lee. Veteran-owned. Owner-walked. Flat-rate quotes.

Common Land Problems We Solve Across Central Ohio
Whatever shape your acreage is in today, you’re not the first landowner to call us with this. Here’s how Lee handles the six most common reasons people pick up the phone.
Just bought it
Inherited Or Newly-Purchased Acreage
You just bought (or inherited) 5-50 acres that’s been let go for 20+ years. You can’t walk it. Fence lines are lost. Old trails are buried.
What we do: Forestry mulching cuts through invasives and brush in one pass. We open it back up so you can finally see what you own.
Invasive species
Bush Honeysuckle & Invasive Takeover
Bush honeysuckle, multiflora rose, autumn olive, or buckthorn are spreading across your woods. They steal water, block access, and choke out your hardwoods.
What we do: Mulched on-site. No burning, no hauling, no chemical drift. Most properties knocked down to clean understory in 1-3 days per machine.
Site prep
Building A House, Barn, Pond, Or Shop
You need build-ready land for a new home, pole barn, septic field, driveway, or pond site. The lot has to be clear, stumps ground, and graded before the builder shows up.
What we do: Lot clearing, stump grinding, grading, and pad prep. We coordinate with your builder so the site is ready on day one.
Recreation
Hunting Lanes, Trails & Food Plots
You want shooting lanes, ATV/UTV trails, food plots, or stand access without spending a year of weekends with a chainsaw.
What we do: Recreational land prep is one of our most common jobs. Owner-walked layout, flat-rate quote, opened up before deer season.
Reclaim pasture
Lost Fence Lines & Reverted Pasture
Your fence line is gone in the brush. Old pasture has reverted to scrub woods. You need usable, mowable acreage back for cattle, horses, or hay.
What we do: Brush removal and pasture reclamation. We can clear right up to a working fence, grind stumps, and leave you a mowable surface.
Storm damage
Storm Damage & Hazard Trees
Wind, ice, or age brought down (or weakened) trees on your land. You need cleanup, debris removal, and the dead ones down before they hit the house or the power line.
What we do: Storm cleanup, hazard tree removal, and full lot debris processing. Same crew, same flat-rate quote, often within the week.
