What we know about Loveland properties
Loveland sits along the Little Miami River corridor with rolling terrain, heavy clay soils, and wooded residential lots. Invasive honeysuckle and multi-flora rose are widespread — particularly on properties along ridgelines and creek corridors. Steep slopes and limited access are common on older parcels in the area.
We work in Loveland constantly. We know the access challenges, the terrain, and how to get equipment in and out without damaging a property.

Forestry mulching for invasive growth removal on wooded lots. Land clearing and lot preparation for new construction. Grading and drainage correction on clay-heavy residential sites.

What Greater Cincinnati property owners are saying.
Real feedback from residential property owners across Greater Cincinnati, Northern Kentucky, and Southeast Indiana.
“Had about two acres of dense honeysuckle and brush that had completely taken over the back half of our Indian Hill property. Merten came out, gave a clear quote, and had it done in a single day. Forestry mulching was the right call — no burn pile, no hauling, and the land looked incredible after. Communication throughout was excellent.”
Jeff M. Indian Hill, OH
“Used Merten for brush hogging and finish grading on a field in Mason. He showed up on time, did exactly what was quoted, and the drainage work he suggested actually fixed a water problem we’d dealt with for three years. Straightforward, honest contractor. Would absolutely use again.”
Sarah K. Mason, OH
“Had a pond excavated on our Milford property for livestock. Merten walked the site with me first, explained where to place it for the best natural water collection, and had it done on schedule. Before-and-after video was a nice touch I wasn’t expecting. Great experience start to finish.”
“Needed a retaining wall to stop a slope from eroding into our yard in Anderson Township. Fair quote, solid work, and they cleaned up when done. He also caught a drainage issue on the uphill side that would have caused problems later. Really appreciated the honest advice beyond just the job itself.”
