Forestry mulching in Bellville, OH means small acreage in the rolling hills of southern Richland County. The village is steady at about 1,960 people, with 1,963 in the 2020 Census and 1,918 in 2010. I-71 and State Routes 13 and 97 cut through it, and the Clear Fork winds through town. Nearly all of the village sits in northern Jefferson Township. The township covers about 36 square miles, and 2,956 of its 4,905 people live outside the village. The county's 1,078 farms average 148 acres, but about half of them are under 50 acres.
Bellville sits about 11 miles and about 15 minutes south of our Mansfield base on State Route 13. Call us about clearing a wooded homesite before a house or barn goes up. On hobby farms, we also take on reclaiming horse pasture and fence row clearing where brush has crept in. The mulching head turns brush and saplings into wood chips and leaves them where the growth stood. The roots stay in the soil and hold it, so cleared ground is stable the day our crew packs up.

In the 2022 Census of Agriculture, 428 Richland County farms ran 10 to 49 acres, the largest size class. Another 114 ran under 10 acres. County farms also held 21,638 acres of woodland. Left alone, a woodlot fills in with honeysuckle and saplings under the big trees. With underbrush removal in a woodlot, we flag your keeper trees and grind the brush around them into chips. The mulching head takes stems up to about 6 inches thick, and bigger timber is tree-service work.
County farms carried 1,751 horses and ponies at the end of 2022, with 7,798 acres of pastureland. A paddock that misses a few mowings grows briars and saplings along its edges. We grind that growth down and leave stumps 1 to 2 inches below grade, low enough to mow over. Where an old fence is coming out anyway, the mulcher works the growth right off the wire. Along a fence that stays, our crew cuts by hand with chainsaws and keeps the machine clear of it.
Yes. Woodlots and brushy fence rows on small farms hold deer, and the tracked mulcher handles the hills. Richland County hunters checked 5,151 deer in the 2025-26 season, above the three-year average of 4,378. Our food plot clearing grinds a thicket down to open, chip-covered ground where a plot can go. The same machine can cut a shooting lane or a quiet path back to a stand. We flag the oaks you want to keep for the deer, and the mulcher works around them.
On hilly ground, the tracked machine handles slopes and soft spots better than wheeled gear. That lets it cut walking trails across a wooded hillside and leave chips on the path. Wet spring clay can rut under the tracks, so we sometimes schedule around that season. Dry or frozen ground carries the machine cleanly, which makes late summer through winter prime clearing season. The mulcher covers roughly half an acre to two acres a day, and dense growth goes slower.
