Professional forestry mulching and land clearing in Central Ohio—done clean, fast, and right.
Dig It Ohio specializes in one-step land clearing using dedicated forestry mulching equipment designed to handle dense brush, invasive species, saplings, and overgrown timber without tearing up your property.
Unlike traditional land clearing that requires tree removal, hauling, or burning, forestry mulching clears and grinds vegetation at ground level in a single pass. The result is usable land with minimal disruption and long-term soil protection.
This method is ideal for residential land clearing, hunting property improvement, fence lines, trails, pasture restoration, and future building sites throughout Central and North Central Ohio.

Preserving History: Johnny Appleseed Trail in Richland County
Few projects carry the weight of history quite like this one.
In Richland County, Ohio, Dig It Ohio was entrusted with clearing and restoring the exact trail Johnny Appleseed once walked as he traveled through the region. This was not a conceptual recreation or approximation—this was the documented path, preserved through generations of land ownership.
Our work focused on carefully clearing overgrowth while respecting the natural landscape, maintaining the character of the land while making the trail accessible once again. Using precision land-clearing techniques, we opened the corridor without overcutting, ensuring the trail remained authentic to its original footprint.

Frequently Asked Questions About Forestry Mulching
How much does forestry mulching cost in Central Ohio?
Forestry mulching costs in Central Ohio vary based on acreage, vegetation density, terrain, and access. Most projects are priced by the hour or by the acre, with lighter brush clearing costing less than dense timber or invasive growth. Because forestry mulching eliminates hauling, burning, and cleanup, it is often more cost-effective than traditional land clearing methods. Dig It Ohio provides free on-site estimates to ensure accurate pricing for your property.
What’s the difference between forestry mulching and traditional land clearing?
Traditional land clearing typically involves tree removal, excavation, piling, hauling, or burning—often resulting in soil disturbance and additional cleanup. Forestry mulching clears vegetation in a single pass by grinding trees and brush at ground level, leaving protective mulch on-site. This approach preserves topsoil, reduces erosion, and creates usable land with minimal disruption, making it ideal for residential, agricultural, and recreational properties in Central Ohio.
Is forestry mulching good for hunting land and wildlife habitat?
Yes. Forestry mulching is one of the best land clearing methods for improving hunting property and wildlife habitat in Central Ohio. It opens up access lanes, shooting lanes, and trail systems while leaving mulch on the ground that promotes native regrowth and bedding cover. Because forestry mulching preserves root structure and minimizes soil disturbance, it encourages healthier plant regeneration and reduces erosion—making it ideal for long-term habitat management rather than aggressive clear-cutting.
