Open up your Galena lot without losing the hillside: a usable space around the house, a lane you can drive, a view, or a fence row you can see. Roots stay in the bank, and the mulch stays on the ground.
Thanks. We'll call to set up a time to walk the property.
We'll see you at the property. A confirmation is on its way to your email.
Questions before then? Call (740) 358-8904.
A usable piece of a sloped lot. The area around the house opened up, a lane you can drive, a view, or a path that stays on your property. The trees you mark stay, and the brush gets ground into mulch on the ground. The roots stay in the slope, so it doesn't start washing out after the next hard rain.
Most residential jobs take one to three days. The plan and the price come first.
We mulch the brush and the trees you mark with a tracked skid steer and a mulching head. It can work slopes that a dozer shouldn't. It handles stems up to about 6 inches across, and up to about 8 inches with more time.
On bigger, flatter parcels away from the water, the work looks more like a farm edge: a fence row of rose and locust, an overgrown corner of woods, or a lane back to a barn. Fence line clearing and lot clearing cover those. Tree line pushback fits when the woods are moving into a field.
Some stumps will try to sprout back. That's normal, and we don't leave you to figure it out. Before the job and again after, we'll go over how to keep regrowth in check, by mowing it with your own equipment or spot-spraying the right herbicide, until grass fills in and crowds the invasives out for good.
We don't force a steep or soggy day. A slick bank or a saturated bottom is a reason to wait, not a reason to rut the only way into the property. We also hold off in very dry spells, when the mulching head is a fire risk.
We only clear ground you own. We don't clear Hoover Reservoir land, the shoreline, or any easement we haven't been shown.
Galena is a small village on SR-3 in Berkshire Township, just south of Sunbury, near where Big Walnut Creek enters the north end of Hoover Reservoir. Columbus built the reservoir on Big Walnut between 1952 and 1955 to supply drinking water (City of Columbus). It's still a public water supply, which is why the shore and the city land around it are off limits to us.
A lot of the private parcels near the water end in wooded slopes, and the understory on those slopes fills with honeysuckle. Multiflora rose takes the sunny openings at the top of the slope and along old fences. Autumn olive shows up in unused field corners.
