Buckeye handles the two halves of property work that usually get split between two contractors. Clearing what is on top of the ground, and moving the ground itself. Having both under one roof means one visit, one point of contact, and one person who already understands the property when the second phase starts.
Buckeye handles the full range of ground work a property needs before anything else can happen on it — clearing, mulching, digging, grading, and drainage. We also take on demolition and septic system work for clients already using us on a site. Everything below is available anywhere inside our 60-mile service radius across Southeast Ohio.
Overgrown ground is the reason most Southeast Ohio properties sit unused. As your land clearing contractor, we open up lots and acreage for building, cut back brush and underbrush that has taken over pasture or hunting ground, and take out trees and stumps down to grade so the site is genuinely workable. We also handle right-of-way clearing and storm cleanup when downed timber has blocked access or made a property unsafe. Every job ends with the debris dealt with, not pushed into a pile at the tree line.
Forestry mulching clears brush and small timber in a single pass and grinds it back into the ground as mulch, so there is no burning, no hauling, and no stump field left behind. It is the fastest way to reclaim pasture, open a hunting lane, or make an overgrown parcel presentable before it goes on the market. We handle brush and vegetation mulching on smaller jobs and full land reclamation mulching on acreage that has gone years without attention. The mulch layer left behind holds soil in place and breaks down into it over the following seasons.
As excavating contractors we handle the dirt work that has to happen before anything gets built. That includes trenching for water, electric, and drainage lines, final grading and site prep so a builder can start clean, and building pads sized for residential work. We also cut in driveways and entrances and install drainage systems that move water away from structures instead of toward them. If you need land grading contractors for a finish grade rather than a full site build, that is well within what we do.
When something on the property has to come down before the real work starts, we take care of it. We handle structure demolition on outbuildings, barns, sheds, mobile homes, and small structures, and we clear the debris rather than leaving it for someone else to deal with. Because we are already on site with an excavator, adding demolition to a clearing or excavation job is usually far cheaper than bringing in a separate contractor. Ask about it when we come out for your estimate.
A septic system is often the piece that decides whether a rural parcel is buildable at all. We install new systems on cleared and excavated sites and handle repair and service work on systems that have failed or backed up. Because we do the clearing, the excavation, and the septic on the same property, the site work and the system get planned together instead of fighting each other. Ohio septic work is permitted through your county health department, and we walk you through exactly what that involves.
Brush clearing takes out the low growth — briars, saplings, volunteer scrub, and invasive shrubs like multiflora rose and autumn olive — without touching the canopy or disturbing the surface underneath. Where the root crown can be reached, we grind it below grade rather than just cutting the top, which is the difference between killing a plant and giving it a haircut it comes back thicker from. It is the practical fix for a fence row that has crept into the field, a lot you can no longer walk, or a lane that scratches every vehicle going down it. We take the small jobs, including the half-day ones most outfits will not move equipment for.

We walk the property with you, look at what is actually there — timber size, slope, wet ground, access — and talk through what you want the land to do when it is finished. You get a clear price with no obligation, and no charge for the visit. If financing makes the project easier, we go over those options at the same time.
We confirm the boundaries, mark anything staying, and locate utilities before a blade touches the ground. If your project needs a permit — a septic system, a drainage tie-in, a right-of-way — we tell you exactly what is required and who to file with. Nothing starts until you know the plan and the price.
This is the work itself — cutting brush and trees, mulching the material back into the soil, pulling stumps, digging trenches, shaping drainage. You get the owner on the equipment for every hour of it, and a call at the end of each day if anything on site changes the plan.

We set the final grade so water runs where it should, clear the debris, and leave the site ready for whatever comes next — a builder, a seed drill, or a for-sale sign. Then we walk the property with you before the equipment goes on the trailer, so nothing is left unfinished or unsaid.
We provide land clearing services, forestry mulching, and excavation across a 60-mile radius from our base in Chesterhill — roughly an hour and a half in any direction. That covers Muskingum, Noble, Washington, Athens, Perry, Guernsey, and Fairfield counties, along with the towns and cities below.
