Land Clearing & Rural Property Cleanup in Armstrong County, PA
Armstrong County is Allegheny River country — rugged, wooded, and rural. Kittanning, Ford City, Apollo, and the townships along the river have a character unlike the Pittsburgh suburbs. The land clearing work here is primarily agricultural and hunting-related, and we have the equipment for it.
Armstrong County sits northeast of Pittsburgh along the Allegheny River, stretching from the river communities of Kittanning, Ford City, and Apollo in the south to the rural townships near Clarion County in the north. It's one of the most rural counties in Western PA — heavily wooded, with significant agricultural land in the upland areas and hunting properties throughout. The Allegheny River cuts through the county from north to south, and the terrain is rugged: steep wooded slopes dropping to the river, upland plateaus with farm fields and pastures, and the kind of remote wooded acreage that attracts hunting property owners from throughout the region. The land clearing work in Armstrong County is primarily three things: farm and agricultural clearing in the upland townships, hunting property work (trail cutting, shooting lane clearing, access road clearing), and rural property cleanup on properties that have been neglected or are changing hands. The invasive species situation in Armstrong County is significant. Multiflora rose is pervasive throughout the county. Autumn olive has taken hold on many field edges and disturbed areas. Japanese knotweed is a serious problem along the Allegheny River and its tributaries — the Kiskiminetas River, Mahoning Creek, and Redbank Creek all have significant knotweed infestations. Tree of heaven is also common on disturbed slopes and roadsides throughout the county.
