Land Clearing & Excavation in Boardman, OH
Boardman is mostly built out, so the work here is water, tight back yards and commercial lots along 224. Logan Earthworks grades, drains, clears and digs across the township. Owner-operated and close by, with free estimates.
Clearing, Mulching & Dirt Work in Boardman
Boardman is built out. There is not much raw land left in the township, so the jobs here look different: a back yard that floods, a rear lot line swallowed by brush, stumps left after tree work, a dead tree leaning over a fence, an outlot on 224 that needs cleaned up before it sells. Logan Earthworks does all of that. We are owner-operated, and Mahoning County is close to home for us.
The township runs south from the Youngstown line, with U.S. Route 224 across the middle and State Route 7, Market Street, running north and south. Mill Creek Park borders it. Working around finished homes takes the right machine and some care. We bring tracked machines that spread their weight, a compact track loader and an excavator, and the way in and out gets worked out when we look at the job. Jeff looks at the site before he gives a number. For nearby townships see Mahoning County.
Yards that flood
Flooding is a known problem in Boardman, and the township joined Austintown and Canfield in the ABC Water and Stormwater District to work on it. The district handles public storm lines and ditches. On your own lot the tools are simpler. We regrade so the yard falls away from the house, cut a swale where water wants to run, and set a French drain or catch basin with pipe to an outlet that can take it. Wondering if we can help with water somewhere else on the lot? Ask when we look at the yard. Our French drains and yard drainage page shows how each one works.
Tight access behind finished homes
Most Boardman lots have a house, a fence, a shed and a neighbor on each side. Getting a machine to the back without wrecking the front is half the job. The path in gets settled when we look at the job, and we leave the site clean. Stumps are ground below the surface so you can seed over them. We take down dead, leaning and storm-damaged trees. Have a tree you are not sure about? Show us while we are there. More on stump grinding.
Commercial lots on 224 and Market Street
Commercial frontage lines nearly the whole length of Route 224 through Boardman. Behind it are back property lines and unbuilt outlots that grow shut with saplings and brush. Owners and property managers need a clean edge, a cleared lot or a rough grade ahead of a build. We clear, mulch, grind stumps and grade. If a project will disturb an acre or more, Ohio EPA requires a stormwater permit, which your site engineer handles. For an entrance onto a state route, ODOT requires a permit. See commercial land clearing.

Who do I call for yard drainage issues in Boardman, Ohio?
If the water comes from a street, a public ditch or a storm sewer backing up, call Boardman Township and the ABC Water and Stormwater District. If it is rain that lands on your lot and sits, call a drainage and grading contractor. Logan Earthworks regrades yards and installs swales, French drains and catch basins. Call (330) 625-5754 for a free estimate.
Can a neighbor drain water onto my property in Boardman, Ohio?
That is a legal question, and the answer depends on the facts, so ask the township zoning office or an attorney. What we can tell you is the practical side. Water follows grade. We can often catch it at the line with a swale or drain and send it to a proper outlet on your side, which dries the yard without waiting on anyone else.
Can you get equipment into a fenced back yard in Boardman?
Usually. We measure the gate, the side yard and any overhead lines before we quote, and we bring a machine that fits. If a fence panel would have to come out, that gets settled in the estimate. Tracked machines spread their weight, which is easier on a lawn than wheels, and we leave the site clean and ready for the next step.
