Land Clearing & Excavation in Alliance, OH
Alliance sits where Stark County meets Mahoning County, with farm ground on every side. We clear brush, dig, grade, build gravel lanes and set culverts for the people who own that ground.
Clearing, Mulching & Dirt Work in Alliance
Alliance sits in the northeast corner of Stark County, and part of the city reaches over the line into Mahoning County. For us that makes it the near edge of Stark County, the first Stark County town we reach coming from the Mahoning Valley. The Mahoning River runs through the northeast part of the city, and outside the city limits it is farm country in every direction. Most land work around Alliance is plain, useful work: take back ground from brush, fix a lane, get a site ready to build.
This is inside our service area. Logan Earthworks is owner-operated and runs tracked excavators, a dozer, a compact track loader and a forestry mulcher. That mix covers clearing a fence row and regrading a driveway without bringing in a second contractor. Call Jeff, tell him what the land is doing now and what you want it to do, and he will come look at it. The estimate is free.
Along the Mahoning River
Where the Mahoning River passes through the northeast side of Alliance, the low ground beside it grows thick and stays soft. Brush along a river or creek bank is holding that bank together, so we keep it covered. The mulcher cuts the top growth and leaves the roots and a layer of mulch in place. If you plan to fill, grade or set a culvert near the water, ask the city or the Stark Soil and Water Conservation District about floodplain rules first.
Lexington, Washington and Marlboro township acreage
Lexington Township lies north and west of Alliance, Washington Township to the south, and Marlboro Township beyond Lexington to the west. That is crop ground, pasture and wood lots, with long lanes and plenty of ditches. We clear hedgerows that have crept into the field, open up grown-over corners, cut pads for pole barns and build or rebuild gravel driveways and farm lanes. Where a lane crosses a ditch we set the culvert, bed it in stone and shape the ends so it does not wash out.
Lots and digs in town
In Alliance itself the jobs are smaller and tighter: a side lot that has gone to scrub, a dead tree leaning toward a garage, stumps in the way of a new shed, a trench for a water or electric line. Tracked machines get into narrow yards without chewing them up. Every dig has to be located through OHIO811 before a bucket goes in the ground. The service is free, and contacting it first is the law in Ohio for homeowners and contractors alike.

DetailsEverything else we do in Alliance
Do you clear land in Alliance, Ohio and on the Mahoning County side toward Sebring?
Yes, both sides of the county line. Alliance is on our regular route between the Mahoning Valley and the rest of Stark County, so jobs in the city, in Lexington and Washington townships and over toward Sebring all fit our service area. Our Stark County land clearing page covers the wider area.
Can a forestry mulcher clear the brush along a creek or river bank in Alliance?
It can clear the top growth, and that is usually all that should be done. We cut brush and saplings and leave the roots and mulch to hold the bank. We keep the machine on ground firm enough to carry it and keep the dirt out of the water. If the work is in a floodplain, check with the city or the county soil and water office before we start.
Who installs gravel driveways and culverts near Alliance?
We do. A driveway job near Alliance normally means stripping soft topsoil, laying a base of large stone, topping it with stone that packs tight, and crowning it so water runs off. If the drive crosses a roadside ditch it needs a pipe, and the road's owner usually has a say in the size. Read more on culvert installation.
