Land clearing in Fairfield, Ohio

Unlike the rural edges of our service area, Fairfield jobs usually have neighbors on every side. That changes how we plan them. We look hard at how the machine gets in, where the trailer parks and how to keep the work tidy. Mulching helps, since there’s no pile left behind and no hauling trucks going in and out.

It’s also a good fit for the strips nobody owns in their heads, like the wooded buffer behind a row of houses or the back of a commercial property that’s been ignored for years.

The City of Fairfield’s Building Inspection and Zoning Division handles property maintenance, and overgrowth is a common complaint. If you’ve received a letter, send us a photo of it along with the area, and we’ll tell you what clearing it would take. The city can confirm exactly what it wants done and by when.

One thing that trips people up: Fairfield Township is a separate government from the City of Fairfield. Check which one your property is in before you call about a notice or a permit.

Our minimum is $2,500, which covers one full crew day. On a single suburban lot, that can be more than the job needs, so here’s a tip: talk to your neighbors. Overgrown back lines usually run across several properties, and two or three neighbors sharing a day often makes it work for everyone.

HOAs and property managers can do the same with common areas, drainage strips and detention basin edges. If you’re managing a property, send us the site and what you’re hoping to accomplish.
