EarthWorx vs. Brushworks: Forestry Mulching in Cincinnati & Northern Kentucky
Both companies clear land in the Cincinnati tri-state. Here is an honest, side-by-side look at where EarthWorx and Brushworks differ — and why Northern Kentucky and Indiana property owners often pick us.
Brushworks Services Co. is a forestry mulching company based in Loveland, Ohio. They do real work, they have a solid Google review history, and they are one of the most visible clearing companies in the Cincinnati metro. If you are on this page, you probably already have a quote from them or are about to request one.
EarthWorx is based in Demossville, Kentucky — about 45 minutes south of Loveland and inside every Northern Kentucky county we serve. We cover a lot of the same Cincinnati territory that Brushworks does, but we also go deep into Northern Kentucky and Southeast Indiana, and we run a different business model: owner-operated, instant online estimates, and a quote back from a real human in under 30 minutes.

What Sets Us Apart
We answer faster
Online estimate in 30 seconds. Written human quote in under 30 minutes. The longest you will wait for a number from us is a lunch break — not a full business day.
We do more than mulching
Need the land graded after clearing? Gravel driveway installed? Stumps ground down? Ponds cleared? We handle the full scope without you calling a second contractor. Brushworks focuses on mulching; we cover the whole project.
Three-state coverage from one crew
Fully insured and regularly working in Kentucky, Ohio, and Indiana. If your property is in NKY, Pendleton, Grant County, or Southeast Indiana, we are usually the closer and faster option — our route does not fight Cincinnati traffic to reach you.
The owner runs the equipment
Bill answers the phone, gives the quote, and runs the mulcher. No middleman, no miscommunication between office and crew, no surprises when a different operator shows up on job day. You deal with one person from the first call to the last pass.
Lower rural overhead
Our base in rural Pendleton County keeps our overhead well below a metro-area company. That savings goes into your quote — we regularly come in 10–20% below Cincinnati-based clearing contractors.
