Clearing, Mulching & Dirt Work in Andover
Pymatuning Lake is just east of Andover, and the causeway from here crosses to Espyville on the Pennsylvania side. That lake shapes the land for a long way around: cottages and camps on small wooded lots, farms behind them, and a lot of wet woods in between. Logan Earthworks is based one county south, in Trumbull County, so southern Ashtabula County is close to home. We clear, mulch, dig, grade and build gravel drives.
The village sits where State Route 7 meets U.S. Route 6 and State Route 85, in the middle of Andover Township. Logan Earthworks is owner-operated, and you talk to Jeff. We bring a tracked forestry mulcher for brush and small trees, CAT excavators for stumps and digging, and a dozer and compact track loader for grade. If you are not at the property often, call or send the form and we will work out a time to look at it. County-wide details are on our Ashtabula County page.
Lake lots and camps near Pymatuning
A lake lot near Andover that sits empty most of the year grows in fast. By the time you want a cabin or a camper on it, the drive is gone and the lot is a thicket. We open it back up: mulch the brush, take out the trees that have to go, grind the stumps, and put down a gravel drive and parking pad built for a wet spring. Dead and leaning trees over a roof or a drive get dealt with first. State park land is not yours or ours to clear, so know where your pins are. See lot clearing.
Ground that used to be swamp
Pymatuning Reservoir was built in the 1930s over what had been a very large swamp, and the country around Andover still shows it. Woods and field corners stay wet late, and a machine that goes in at the wrong time leaves ruts you will look at for a long while. Timing is most of the answer. Dry stretches in late summer and fall, or hard-frozen ground in winter, let a tracked mulcher work without tearing things up. Where you need to cross a wet spot for good, a culvert and a built-up stone lane is the fix.
Farm and hunting land in Andover Township
Out in the township, toward Williamsfield, Cherry Valley and Richmond, the work is fence rows, field edges and wood lots. A forestry mulcher takes a fence row back to the line, reopens an old lane, or cuts trails and shooting lanes through thick cover and leaves no piles behind. Hunters use it to reach a stand or a food plot. Farmers use it to get back field edges lost to multiflora rose and autumn olive. More at hunting land, trails and shooting lanes and fence line clearing.

Who clears lake lots near Pymatuning in Andover, Ohio?
Logan Earthworks does. We are an owner-operated land clearing and excavation company based in Trumbull County, and Andover is close to home. We mulch brush, remove trees and stumps, and build gravel drives and parking pads on lake lots, camps and cabin sites. If you are not local, send the form or call (330) 625-5754 and we will arrange to meet at the property for a free estimate.
When is the best time to clear wet ground around Andover?
When the ground will carry the machine. Around Andover that usually means a dry spell in late summer or fall, or a cold stretch in winter when the ground is frozen hard. Spring thaw is the worst window. Clearing with the leaves off also lets you see the lay of the land and pick which trees to keep. A wet site is worth waiting for the right week.
Can you build a gravel driveway on soft ground in Andover Township?
Yes, if it is built from the bottom up. We dig out the soft topsoil and muck, set a culvert anywhere water needs to cross, and bring the lane up with large base stone before the finer top layer goes on. The top is crowned so water runs off to the sides. A thin layer of gravel spread over soft ground just sinks, which is why so many camp drives disappear.
