Forestry Mulching And Land Clearing in Northern Kentucky
Boone, Kenton and Campbell. This is the ground we came for.
We're just across the river in North Bend, and Northern Kentucky is the first place we want to be.
Forestry mulching and land clearing in Northern Kentucky is what this company was built around. We said it plainly on day one: Northern Kentucky comes first. From North Bend, I-275 swings through the corner of Indiana and over the Ohio into Boone County, and Florence is about 25 minutes away.
Most calls here are forestry mulching and lot clearing: wooded lots around Union and Burlington that need opening up before a house goes in, honeysuckle-choked back acres off US-42, and fence rows in southern Boone County that haven't seen a mower in years.
New houses on wooded lots around Union and Burlington
Boone County keeps filling in. New home sites around Union and along KY-18 between Florence and Burlington often sit on ground that was woods or old pasture not long ago. Before a builder can stake the house, somebody has to take out the honeysuckle, the saplings and the dead ash without wrecking the lot.
We mulch it in place with a Fecon head on a Kubota track loader, so there are no burn piles and no trucks hauling brush down your new street. If the lot also needs a drainage line or a cut for the driveway, our trenching and drainage excavation work gets done while the machines are already there.
I want to focus on Northern Kentucky more than anything really on this business.

Hillsides above the Ohio and the Licking
The Licking River splits Kenton County from Campbell County, and both have steep, wooded slopes running down to it and to the Ohio. The clay on these hills is known for sliding when it gets cut into, loaded with fill or soaked.
That's a good reason to mulch instead of bulldoze. A mulcher cuts brush to the ground and leaves the roots holding the slope, so you get your view and your path back without stripping the hillside bare. See how brush mulching handles thick understory.
Farm ground south toward Walton and Verona
South of Union the county opens up into hay ground, horse pasture and wooded draws around Walton and Verona, and the Kenton County side toward Independence looks much the same. Fence rows out there are full of multiflora rose, autumn olive and cedar, and plenty of pasture has gone back to briars.
We clear fence lines so the fence can be fixed, cut trails and shooting lanes for hunters, and push pasture back out to where it used to be. That's the work behind forestry mulching for overgrown land.

Questions from Northern Kentucky
Do you work in Campbell County, or just Boone?
All three counties. Boone is closest, since I-275 comes over the Ohio right into it, but we work Kenton and Campbell too, including the ground along the Licking River and out toward Alexandria.
Can you clear a wooded lot in Union before we build?
Yes, and it's one of the most common jobs in Boone County right now. We mulch the brush and small trees and take stumps down with the mulcher head as part of the clearing. Flag any trees you want kept and we'll work around them.
Is it safe to mulch a steep hillside in Kenton or Campbell County?
On most slopes, yes, and it's gentler on the hill than grading. The mulcher leaves roots in the ground, which helps hold the clay. On ground that's very steep or already moving, we'll tell you at the estimate what can safely be reached.
Do you charge by the hour?
No. Every job is priced by the job after we walk it. If we finish early, the price stays the same.
What happens to the brush and honeysuckle?
It's ground into mulch and left as a layer that holds the soil and breaks down over time. Nothing gets piled, hauled or burned. Honeysuckle can resprout from the roots, so keep an eye on it for a season or two.
How far into Kentucky do you go?
All of Boone, Kenton and Campbell, and farther south down I-75 when the job fits, as far as Georgetown and Lexington, KY. Just across the river, we cover Cincinnati and Hamilton County the same way.
