Land Clearing Services in Northeast Kansas
Professional Land Clearing for Rural & Agricultural Properties
Professional Land Clearing for Rural & Agricultural Properties
OEM Earthworks provides reliable land clearing services in Northeast Kansas, helping landowners turn overgrown or unusable ground into functional, manageable land. Based in Meriden, Kansas, and owned by Cody Elliot, OEM Earthworks serves rural properties throughout the region, including the Topeka and Lawrence areas.
Our land clearing services are designed for projects where the goal is full vegetation removal to prepare land for agriculture, construction, access, or large-scale improvement.
Land Clearing & Site Prep Services
We tailor every land clearing project to your property’s terrain, the type of vegetation present, and your goals. We select the best land clearing methods for the site and deploy pieces of equipment that are built to handle local conditions and many types of land, from dense timber to open pastures.
-
Turn overgrown brush, trees, and invasive honeysuckle into a protective layer of mulch. Our mulching equipment clears thick underbrush while improving soil health and helping native plant growth return over time. The benefits of forestry mulching include reduced erosion, fewer disposal needs, and faster access throughout the property.
-
Eliminate dense vines, weeds, and small tree growth that crowd out healthy timber and pastures. We restore visibility and access without disturbing larger trees; our methods clear trees and brush efficiently so you can navigate and plan improvements.
-
We provide safe, precise tree removal and complete stump extraction by digging them out. While many firms rely on stump grinders, our approach ensures solid ground for future use without leaving hidden root systems behind.
-
Smooth uneven terrain after clearing to prepare for access roads, home sites, or open pasture. This step can save you time downstream by creating dependable access and workable surfaces.
-
We haul away debris, downed material, and large rocks or boulders, leaving your property clean and ready to use. When appropriate, a skid steer is used for tight areas and finish work.
-
Open and maintain trails, driveways, fence lines, and utility paths while protecting the surrounding vegetation and soil.
-
Many land clearing projects require more than vegetation removal. OEM Earthworks often integrates professional excavation services to:
Grade and level cleared areas
Address drainage issues
Prepare sites for future use
Reduce erosion risks after clearing
When needed, projects may also include erosion control solutions to protect exposed soil and surrounding land.

When needed, projects may also include erosion control solutions to protect exposed soil and surrounding land. Serving Northeast Kansas, we provide site-specific strategies such as waterway shaping, slope stabilization, and over-seeding to prevent soil loss on farms, ranches, and CRP land. By combining land shaping with sediment control, we ensure your property remains stable and productive long after the initial clearing is complete.
-
Once your property has been cleared, the work doesn’t have to stop there. OEM Earthworks also offers ongoing land management and brush maintenance services to keep your timber or pasture areas healthy and under control. We can schedule seasonal or annual maintenance to prevent regrowth of invasive species like honeysuckle and to keep your property open, accessible, and well maintained.
Eco-Friendly and Cost-Effective Land Clearing
Our approach to clearing focuses on long term land health. Instead of burning or hauling away material, our mulching process grinds organic matter in place to create mulch that protects your soil, improves moisture retention, and naturally returns nutrients.
Because the mulch remains on-site and equipment time is optimized, these methods can save you time compared to traditional clearing approaches.
