Hillside Mulching in Greater Cincinnati
Safe, Remote-Controlled Clearing for Slopes Other Equipment Can't Reach
Steep Terrain Doesn't Have to Be Unmanageable
Overgrown hillsides are more than a visual problem—they create fire hazards, erosion risks, and safety issues. Traditional machinery can't operate safely on steep slopes, and manual clearing is slow, dangerous, and ineffective.
Brushworks solves this with our professional remote-controlled hillside mulching technology (RCU).
Our machines are built for slopes up to 55°, eliminating invasive vegetation, saplings, and small trees—without risking operator safety or causing erosion.

We believe every part of your property should be safe, usable, and a source of pride—no matter the terrain.
Steep slopes shouldn't be ignored because they're difficult to maintain.
Our hillside mulching service restores accessibility, protects native trees, and prevents hazardous overgrowth from taking control of your land.
