About Houchens logging habitat improvement & excavating

Bratton Township is where southern Ohio stops pretending to be flat: oak and hickory ridges standing over the Ohio Brush Creek country, with fields that end abruptly in woods and old fencerows swallowed by brush in a single summer. Houchens logging habitat improvement & excavating mows in that landscape, from house lawns down to the rough field edges and grown-up lots that need a heavy pass before they can look like ground again. The work is cutting back what has crept in, mowing what should be lawn, and trimming the boundary so a property reads out to its line instead of trailing off into thicket. Late August, with the ridges dusty and the cicadas going, is when the difference is most obvious — an open, mowed place against a wall of green. Reclaimed ground stays easier once it is kept, and that is what the routine is for.
