Land Clearing & Excavation in Austintown, OH
Austintown is neighborhoods on the east side and open ground on the west, toward Meander Creek Reservoir. Logan Earthworks clears, digs, grades and builds gravel drives across the township. Owner-operated, and estimates are free.
Clearing, Mulching & Dirt Work in Austintown
Austintown has no city hall. It is a township and an unincorporated community just west of Youngstown, and that changes who you call about a road ditch or a drainage problem. It also has two faces. The east side is neighborhoods and business strips. The west side opens up toward Meander Creek Reservoir, with bigger lots, woods and old fields. Logan Earthworks works both: clearing, mulching, excavation, grading, drainage and gravel driveways, close to home in Mahoning County.
Interstates 80 and 680 and State Route 11 all cross the township, so there is commercial ground here as well as back yards. Logan Earthworks is owner-operated. We bring a tracked forestry mulcher, CAT excavators, a dozer and a compact track loader, and we start every job the same way: talk it through, walk the site, and tell you plainly what we would do. See Mahoning County land clearing for the neighboring townships.
Wet yards and the stormwater district
Austintown, Boardman and Canfield townships share the ABC Water and Stormwater District, set up to deal with stormwater quality and quantity. That tells you how common drainage trouble is here. The district looks after the public system. The water standing in your back yard is usually yours to fix, and the fix is usually grade: a yard reshaped to fall away from the house, a swale on the low line, or a French drain to a real outlet. If your water ties into a public ditch or storm line, call the district before changing anything.
Driveways and which office to ask
Because Austintown is unincorporated, a driveway can front a township road, a county road or a state route, and each has its own office. The Mahoning County Engineer has a driveway permit for installing or replacing a residential drive inside county right-of-way. ODOT requires a permit for driveway access on state routes. The township road department covers its own streets. Ask first, then we build it: dig out the soft spots, set the culvert, lay base stone, and crown the top. More on gravel driveway installation and repair.
Brush and back lots on the west side
Ax Factory Run crosses the middle of the township and the reservoir takes up its western edge, so plenty of Austintown lots end at a wet, brushy line nobody has touched in a long time. Autumn olive, multiflora rose and grapevine close those in fast. A forestry mulcher opens them back up and leaves mulch on the ground, not a pile. The reservoir land belongs to the Mahoning Valley Sanitary District, so know where your line is before any cutting. Read about invasive brush removal.

Who do I call about a flooded yard in Austintown, Ohio?
For water coming from a public ditch, culvert or storm sewer, start with Austintown Township and the ABC Water and Stormwater District. For water that falls on your own lot and has nowhere to go, call a drainage contractor. Logan Earthworks regrades yards, cuts swales and installs French drains and catch basins. Not sure which kind of water problem you have? Describe it when you call. Estimates are free at (330) 625-5754.
Do I need a permit for a new driveway in Austintown Township?
Check before you build. The Mahoning County Engineer issues a driveway permit for residential drives inside county road right-of-way, and ODOT requires a permit for driveway access on a state route. For a township road, ask the Austintown Township road department what it requires. The office may also tell you what size culvert pipe to use. We build to whatever they specify.
What is the cheapest way to clear an overgrown lot in Austintown?
Match the method to the growth. If it is brush, vines and small trees, forestry mulching is usually the least work because one machine does it and nothing is hauled or burned. The cost climbs with big trees, stumps that must come out, wet ground and poor access. Jeff looks at the lot and gives you a free estimate.
