New Franklin wraps the southern Portage Lakes and Nimisila Reservoir, whose east shore carries a stretch of the Buckeye Trail, and BrushBoss gives the wooded and lakeside lots around them back to their owners. The overgrowth here tends to be the strip nobody got to: the slope to the water, the back acre that went to briar, the field edge now ten feet deep in saplings. We remove it under the canopy and keep the trees you want, so the property opens toward the water again. Around the shore we keep a respectful margin from the bank. Flat pricing starts at $295; acreage is quoted from $2,000 per acre.

New Franklin's Unique Terrain and Vegetation Challenges
New Franklin's landscape is a study in contrasts, featuring extensive, level ground moraine where thin glacial drift overlays rounded bedrock. This creates areas where water often sits, making traditional clearing methods difficult without causing significant rutting or soil disturbance. Against this, the township also boasts distinctive, steep-sided hills and the rugged Buck Hill Moraine east of Clinton, with its hundred-foot kames and kettle lakes. This variability means that a one-size-fits-all approach to land clearing simply won't work here; each parcel demands an understanding of its specific geological characteristics.
The vegetation pressure in New Franklin is intense, particularly on land that has been left untended. Reverting pastures quickly become dominated by thorny brush, and within a decade or two, these areas are choked with aggressive species. Autumn olive and multiflora rose are rampant on the kame slopes and former open ground, forming dense, impenetrable thickets. Around the kettle lakes, phragmites has established itself, creating monocultures along the water's edge. Even on hummocky terrain, thickets conceal themselves in hollows, making them difficult to spot and manage without professional help.
Property owners in New Franklin often manage parcels that range from relatively flat, open ground to steep, wooded hillsides or lakefront properties. Whether it's clearing a building envelope on a level, bedrock-underlaid site, reclaiming an overgrown field near the Buck Hill Moraine, or tackling invasive species along a lake, the challenge is to remove unwanted growth efficiently while preserving the land's integrity. Our forestry mulching services are designed to handle these diverse property types, providing a clean finish without the extensive soil disruption or debris hauling associated with conventional clearing methods.
What We Clear in New Franklin, OH
Forestry Mulching
Overgrown brush and crowding saplings ground into a finished mulch layer beneath the trees you keep. No burning, no hauling, no soil disturbance.
Brush Clearing
Briars, thickets, and woody growth a mower cannot touch — converted to ground cover that suppresses regrowth while it feeds the soil.
Lot Clearing
Building envelopes, driveways, and septic fields cleared to your survey stakes with topsoil intact, before the excavator arrives.
Fence Line Clearing
Buried fence rows reclaimed on both sides — posts and wire exposed, with a clean mulched strip a mower can hold from now on.
Trail Cutting
Walking loops and ATV routes cut through your own woods with a mulch footing that stays walkable in wet weather.
Invasive Species Removal
Honeysuckle, multiflora rose, and autumn olive thickets taken to grade — with a written follow-up plan for the regrowth the first season brings.
FAQ — New Franklin, OH
Pricing for land clearing in New Franklin is primarily determined by the density and type of vegetation, as well as the specific terrain. For properties with the level, thin-drift moraine, efficiency can be high, but dense thickets of autumn olive or multiflora rose will take more time. On the steep slopes of the kames, access and machine stability become factors. We provide fixed, per-acre quotes after a free property walk to assess these conditions, ensuring transparency without hourly meters.
Yes. Forestry mulching disturbs very little soil and leaves no ruts, which matters on New Franklin's level moraine where water often sits. Unlike heavy excavation that can cause deep ruts and compaction, the work is light on the ground, so drainage is not made worse and the underlying thin drift and bedrock are left undisturbed.
Absolutely. We provide land clearing and forestry mulching services across all of New Franklin, from properties near the Portage Lakes State Park to those closer to the Buck Hill Moraine east of Clinton. Whether your land is along Manchester Road, near the Tuscarawas River, or tucked away on one of the less-traveled roads, we're equipped to reach you.
Phragmites around New Franklin's kettle lakes can be extremely challenging due to its dense growth and wet conditions. Our mulching process effectively grinds down phragmites, creating a mulch layer that helps suppress regrowth. For persistent invasive species like phragmites, we also discuss follow-up strategies to ensure long-term control and encourage native plant re-establishment, without harming the delicate lake ecosystems.
Yes. Brush hogging suits the open ground in New Franklin that has started to slip away: a reverting pasture, a field edge filling with saplings, or level acreage where thorny growth has taken hold but not yet closed in. Bringing that ground back to open, walkable field costs $624 an acre, with a one-acre minimum. Where autumn olive and multiflora rose have already formed thickets on the kame slopes, the work is quoted as brush clearing instead.
Yes, and the slope to the water is often the part of a New Franklin lakeside lot left untouched the longest. We take out the brush and saplings on that bank, keep the trees you want, and give the house its outlook toward the Portage Lakes or Nimisila Reservoir again. Along the shore we hold a respectful margin from the bank itself, so the water's edge stays as it is. Small, flat-priced openings start at $295.
