Forestry mulching in Orrville, OH means small farms and brushy woodlots in eastern Wayne County. The city holds steady at about 8,400 people, with 8,452 in the 2020 Census and 8,380 in 2010. Farm townships and villages ring it, with Marshallville about 4 miles northeast and Dalton about 5 miles southeast. Kidron sits about 7 miles south and Mount Eaton farther south, as the crow flies.

Around Orrville, the work we come for starts with pasture reclamation on small farms, including horse pasture. We also do fence row clearing between fields and land clearing on back acreage that has grown up in brush. The tracked mulcher grinds standing brush and saplings into a layer of wood chips that stays on the ground. Topsoil and roots stay in place, so the ground is stable the day our crew leaves. Orrville is about 44 miles and about an hour east of our base in Mansfield.

The 2022 Census of Agriculture counted 22,484 acres of pasture on Wayne County farms, along with 6,168 horses and ponies. On a farm of 10 to 49 acres, every paddock counts. Multiflora rose and saplings creep in from the edges until a paddock shrinks. The mulcher grinds that growth into chips and takes stumps down 1 to 2 inches below grade. That leaves ground you can mow over. We flag the keeper trees first, so a shade tree along the fence line can stay.
Fence rows need a plan before the machine moves. If the old wire is coming out anyway, the mulcher grinds the growth right off it. If the fence stays, our crew cuts along it by hand with chainsaws, and the machine stays clear. The tracked machine climbs slopes and crosses soft spots better than wheeled gear. Wet spring clay is the one season we sometimes steer around, because tracks can rut it. Late summer through winter is prime clearing season, when dry or frozen ground carries the machine cleanly.
In Baughman Township, Johnson Woods State Nature Preserve is one of Ohio's largest and best remaining old-growth forests. Several of its trees are more than 400 years old, and wildflowers bloom there each spring. A woodlot filled in with honeysuckle, multiflora rose and saplings looks nothing like that. That kind of woodlot is the job we come for. Our underbrush removal in a woodlot grinds the understory into chips around the keeper trees we flag. The mulcher takes stems up to about 6 inches, and larger timber is tree-service work.
Deer hunters have their own reasons to clear brush. Wayne County hunters checked 3,562 deer in the 2025-26 season, above the three-year average of 3,019. On wooded acreage, food plot clearing turns a thicket into open ground for a plot. The mulcher can also open a shooting lane or a walking path back to a stand. Any oak you want to keep for the deer gets flagged and left standing. A cleared plot stays open with mowing afterward, and our brush hog can do that mowing.
