Land Clearing & Excavation in Sharon, PA
Sharon is a compact river city, so the jobs are tight: overgrown lots, stumps, dead trees near buildings and back yards that hold water. We are close by and set up for exactly that.
Clearing, Mulching & Dirt Work in Sharon
Sharon sits right on the Ohio line, which makes it about as close to home as a Pennsylvania town gets for us. The city lies along the banks of the Shenango River in western Mercer County, with Hermitage to the north and east, Farrell to the south, and Masury, Ohio on its west side. It is small, under four square miles, and nearly all of it is built on. So the work here is lots, yards, alleys and edges more than acreage.
That suits the way we work. A compact track loader and a tracked excavator fit where a big outfit's equipment will not, and tracks are easier on a lawn than wheels. We clear lots that have gone to scrub, grind stumps, take down dead and leaning trees, fix yard drainage and dig trenches and footers. Because we are based just over the line in Trumbull County, Jeff can look at a Sharon job easily, and a small one is welcome.
Tight lots along the Shenango River
City lots in Sharon tend to be tight, often with a garage or an alley at the back and wires overhead. Clearing one means working in a small space without hitting the neighbor's fence. We pull or mulch the scrub and grind stumps below the surface so the lot can be mowed or built on. Tell us about any old junk tangled in the brush before we start. On properties that back up to the Shenango River, we leave roots in the bank and keep the machine on firm ground.
Working both sides of the state line
The west edge of Sharon is the state line, and Masury, Ohio is on the other side of it. We work both sides, Mercer County and Trumbull County, and the paperwork changes at the line. A dig in Sharon is located through Pennsylvania One Call, also called Pennsylvania 811. A dig in Masury goes through OHIO811. Earth disturbance rules differ too, with Pennsylvania's handled through the county conservation district. Which side a job is on gets sorted out when we look at it.
Wet yards, stumps and dead trees
Older yards in Sharon can settle toward the house or hold a puddle against the garage. We regrade so water runs away from the foundation and add a drain line where the grade cannot do it alone. Stumps left from old removals get ground out with a stump grinding head. A dead or storm-damaged tree leaning over a house is a hazard tree removal job, done with the excavator so nobody has to climb it.

Who clears overgrown lots in Sharon, PA?
Logan Earthworks does. We are based a short way over the Ohio line and Sharon is home ground for us. An overgrown city lot is cleared with a compact tracked machine: brush and saplings mulched or pulled, stumps ground, and the surface left smooth enough to mow. See also our page for land clearing and excavation in Hermitage next door.
Do you work on both the Sharon side and the Masury, Ohio side of the state line?
Yes. The state line runs along the west edge of Sharon and we work on both sides of it. The only difference for you is which office gets the call: Pennsylvania One Call for a dig in Pennsylvania and OHIO811 for a dig in Ohio. Same company, same machines, same phone number either way.
Can you fix a wet back yard in Sharon without digging up the whole lawn?
Usually. Most wet yards need a small change in grade, not a full tear-out. We find the low spot, find where the water should go, and cut a shallow swale or run one drain line to get it there. How the disturbed strip is finished gets settled in the estimate, so ask about it when Jeff looks at the yard.
