Thick brush, tangled woods, and overgrown acres don’t just make your property look neglected—they limit how you can use your land. Trails disappear. Space gets wasted. And clearing it by hand feels impossible. That’s where Buckeye Land Services comes in.
We now provide high-power forestry mulching, the fastest and cleanest way to reclaim your land without damaging the soil. Our equipment pulverizes brush, vines, saplings, and undergrowth on the spot, turning it into nutrient-rich mulch that improves your soil while leaving your property clean, open, and instantly usable. No burning. No piles. No hauling. Just transformation.
Whether you’re carving out new trails, expanding your yard, prepping for a future build, or finally taking back acreage that’s been untouched for years, our team delivers professional, efficient clearing that dramatically improves visibility, access, and property value. The difference is night-and-day—and most projects are completed in a single day.
Serving landowners across the Miami Valley, we bring the right equipment, the right technique, and the local expertise to make your land work for you again.

DAYTON DIGEST
Big Growth Plans for Local Meal Provider
Dayton’s own Miami Valley Meals is planning a facility expansion to meet rising demand for nutritious, chef-prepared meals for neighbors facing food insecurity. The nonprofit, known for rescuing good food and turning it into hundreds of thousands of meals each year, is moving forward with a larger space in Dayton to help serve more families and partner organizations. This step comes as more local households seek support and community leaders emphasize food security as a priority.
Holiday Recycling Tips for Dayton Residents
Montgomery County Solid Waste District is sharing practical tips to keep your holiday cleanup safe and eco-friendly. Residents are reminded to recycle paper and cardboard (flattened first) and take real Christmas trees to designated mulch sites, while avoiding plastics that can’t be processed curbside. These simple swaps help reduce landfill impact during one of the busiest waste seasons of the year.
Trucking Group Taps AI to Help Small Fleets
Haulers United, a Dayton trucking association representing hundreds of small carriers, has teamed up with local tech firm Radian AI Solutions to bring new artificial intelligence tools to their members. The goal is to boost savings on fuel, maintenance and insurance by using smart tech tailored to logistics needs — a move that could help smaller trucking businesses compete more effectively.
Dayton First Responders Bring Holiday Magic to Children’s Hospital
Christmas came early for young patients at Dayton Children’s Hospital as local first responders rolled in with lights flashing for Operation Santa Sleigh. Firefighters, police officers, and emergency crews teamed up to deliver toys, wave to kids from outside, and spread joy throughout the hospital during a busy holiday season. The event is part of an annual tradition that brings comfort to children who can’t be home for the holidays and reminds families they’re not alone. For many kids, seeing Santa arrive alongside Dayton’s everyday heroes turned an ordinary hospital day into a magical one. Moments like these show how deeply first responders care for the community they serve, on and off the clock.

Dayton’s generosity was on full display at the 18th Annual Bears4Children Donation Drive, where the community gathered at The Mall at Fairfield Commons to support local families. This year’s effort resulted in 311 cuddly bears being delivered to Dayton Children’s Hospital, providing a soft shoulder for children spending their holidays in medical care.
