Hancock County is West Virginia's northernmost county — a narrow strip along the Ohio River bordered by Pennsylvania to the north and Ohio to the west. SHS Land Clearing serves the entire county with commercial-grade equipment and crews experienced in the steep terrain and dense vegetation of the upper Ohio River valley.
Hancock County is the smallest county in West Virginia by area, but it packs significant land clearing demand into its narrow Ohio River corridor. Weirton is the largest city and the economic center of the county, but much of Hancock County is rural — steep hillsides, wooded hollows, and rural properties that require regular maintenance to keep brush and invasive species under control. The terrain in Hancock County is challenging. The Ohio River valley creates steep slopes and narrow bottomlands, and the hillsides above the river are heavily wooded. Invasive species — particularly multiflora rose, autumn olive, and Japanese knotweed — are aggressive throughout the county. Properties that aren't actively maintained can become overgrown quickly. SHS Land Clearing serves all of Hancock County with commercial-grade forestry mulching equipment suited to the steep terrain. We're based in Pittsburgh and cross into West Virginia regularly for jobs throughout the northern panhandle. We provide free on-site estimates throughout Hancock County.
