From Overgrown to Open
Land Clearing That Prepares Your Property for Whatever Comes Next
Whether you're reclaiming overgrown farmland, clearing a lot for new construction, or cleaning up a brushy fence line that's been neglected for years — Post Excavating & Landscaping LLC has the equipment and experience to get it done.
We operate excavators, bulldozers, and skid steers — giving us the flexibility to choose the right approach for your specific situation. Whether you need brush removal, site preparation, vegetation management, or complete land clearing, we have the equipment and experience to get the job done efficiently and safely.
We've been clearing land throughout Mercer County and the surrounding region for over 20 years. We know the soil, the terrain, and the local regulations — and we'll advise you honestly on the best approach for your project.
What We Clear
Land Clearing Services
Brush & Undergrowth Clearing
Dense brush, briars, saplings, and undergrowth removed using land-clearing equipment and skid steers. We can clear large acreages quickly and leave the area ready for farming, building, or landscaping.
Tree Removal & Mulching
Trees of all sizes felled, processed, and either mulched in place or removed from the site. The mulching process turns trees and brush into a natural ground cover that enriches the soil.
Stump Grinding & Removal
Stumps ground below grade or completely excavated and properly removed. We can efficiently handle single stumps or entire fields of stumps from previous clearing operations.
Fence Line Clearing
Old fence lines cleared of brush, trees, and debris. We can remove old fence posts and wire as part of the clearing operation, leaving a clean boundary ready for new fencing.
Lot Clearing for Construction
Residential and commercial lots cleared of all vegetation, stumps, and debris in preparation for new construction. We work with builders and developers throughout the region.
Agricultural Land Reclamation
Overgrown fields, abandoned farmland, and brushy fence lines reclaimed for agricultural use. We can take land that hasn't been farmed in years and return it to productive condition.
Featured Method
Land Clearing — Fast, Clean, and Good for the Soil
Our specialized equipment can clear an acre of dense brush and small trees in a single day — grinding everything into a fine mulch that's left in place as a natural ground cover. No hauling, no burning, no debris piles. The mulch suppresses weeds, prevents erosion, and enriches the soil as it decomposes.

Our Process
How Land Clearing Works

Site Prep
After clearing, we can transition directly into grading, seeding, or any other site preparation work your project requires.
Common Questions
Land Clearing FAQ
What do you do with the trees and brush you remove?
Depending on the project, material may be processed on-site or removed from the property. With cut-and-haul clearing, trees and brush are chipped or hauled to appropriate disposal facilities. Usable timber may be available for salvage depending on species and condition — we discuss options during the estimate.
How much land can you clear in a day?
It depends heavily on the density and size of the vegetation. Light brush with small trees — we can clear several acres per day. Dense woods with large trees — progress is slower. We provide a realistic time estimate during the on-site consultation.
Do you handle permits for tree removal?
In most rural areas of Mercer County, permits are not required for land clearing on private property. However, some townships and municipalities have regulations, and clearing near waterways may require permits from the Ohio EPA or Army Corps of Engineers. We're familiar with local requirements and will advise you during the estimate.
Can you clear land and then immediately prepare it for construction?
Yes. We can clear the land and then transition directly into site development work — grading, drainage, building pad preparation, and access road construction. Keeping it as one project with one contractor saves time and coordination.
