Land Clearing for Newark and the Surrounding Area
Newark is the largest city in Licking County and the hub of the region — and the land clearing work we do here reflects both its urban fringe and its rural surroundings. Within the city and the immediately surrounding area, we handle residential lot clearing for infill development, clearing overgrown vacant properties, and brush clearing on residential and commercial properties that have gotten away from the owner.
Outside the city limits, the Newark area transitions quickly into agricultural and rural residential land. Newark Township, Union Township, and the surrounding areas have a mix of newer residential development and working farmland where we do the fence line clearing, pasture reclamation, and invasive species work that's common across Licking County.
Common Jobs in the Newark Area
Wooded and brushy residential lots in the Newark and Heath area are a common job for us — particularly in the older residential neighborhoods where vacant infill lots have been sitting idle and growing up with brush, or in the newer development areas on the edges of the city where lots were partially cleared and then development stalled.
Invasive species management in the Newark area is significant work. The Licking River corridor, the Rocky Fork watershed, and the woodlots throughout Newark Township have substantial honeysuckle infestations. Property owners who want to improve their woodlot, restore native vegetation, or simply be able to walk their property again call us regularly for this work.
Commercial clearing in and around Newark is also a regular part of our work — site preparation for retail and industrial development along the major corridors, clearing for new construction in the commercial growth areas east and west of the city.
"We cleared a vacant lot off West Main Street in Newark a couple of years ago — an older residential neighborhood where a house had been demolished and the lot had sat empty for about eight years. It was a full city lot, maybe a third of an acre, completely grown up with brush and young trees. The neighbor had been mowing the edges but couldn't get to the middle. We had it clear in half a day. The owner had it sold to a builder within a month."
