About Gibson Environmental Services
Michigan's Leading Forestry Mulching & Land Reclamation Specialists
We Reclaim Your Space To Restore Your Vision.
At Gibson Environmental Services, we believe land shouldn't go to waste due to overgrowth, invasive brush, or steep terrain. We exist to restore property value, reclaim nature responsibly, and give landowners control of their space again. Land clearing isn't one of our services, it's what we do, and we do it better than anyone in the region.
Who Gibson Environmental Services Is
Gibson Environmental Services is a land clearing contractor based in Royal Oak, Michigan. The company clears land by forestry mulching and brush hogging in eight counties: Oakland, Macomb, Wayne, Livingston, Lapeer, St. Clair, Washtenaw and Genesee. All of the work runs on one high-flow tracked skid steer, a Bobcat T86 on rubber tracks, fitted with either a FECON forestry mulcher or a brush hog attachment. Property owners, farmers, developers and HOAs hire the crew for lots, fence lines, pastures, driveways, trails, lakefront and creek banks.
The reason the company exists is simple: overgrowth takes more than land. It takes away safety, usability and pride in a property, whether that property is a single acre or a whole neighborhood. Gibson Environmental Services reclaims overgrown ground, protects the healthy trees worth keeping, and hands back land its owner can use and be proud of again. So far the crew has cleared 2,500+ acres across 800+ projects.

What Makes Our Work Different
Four specifics: the focus, the machine, the price and what is left behind.
A Specialist Focus
Land clearing, and the upkeep that follows, is all the Gibson Environmental Services crew does. Working days go to forestry mulching, brush hogging and keeping cleared ground clear, across lots, fence lines, pastures, driveways, trails and larger acreage.
A Purpose-Built Machine
The Bobcat T86 on rubber tracks carries a FECON forestry mulcher for brush, thickets, saplings and small trees, or a brush hog attachment for grass, fields and light brush. Tracks spread the weight over soft ground, and one compact machine fits through Michigan woodlots and along fence lines.
One Written Price
Every job gets a single written project price with travel included. It is quoted from phone photos or a walk-through, so the number is settled before the machine arrives, in place of hourly or daily billing. A quote request gets a reply within one business day.
What Is Left Behind
Forestry mulching grinds brush and small trees into a layer of wood chips that stays on the ground. Roots stay in the soil. The material is processed where it grew, so there is nothing to burn and nothing to haul, and the cleared ground is usable when the machine leaves.
From First Photo to Finished Ground
Four steps from the first phone photos to cleared land.
Send photos or ask for a walk-through
Share phone photos of the property through the quote form, by text, or by phone, or ask for a walk-through. Point out the areas to clear and anything to keep, such as healthy trees. A reply comes within one business day.
Receive one written price
The Gibson Environmental Services crew reviews the photos or walks the property, then sends one written project price with travel included. Hillsides and tight access are walked and planned on site before the work is scheduled.
Clear with the right attachment
The Bobcat T86 works the ground with the FECON forestry mulcher for brush, thickets and small trees, or the brush hog attachment for grass and fields. Healthy trees marked to keep stay standing. Most residential lots take a day or two; heavy brush with saplings runs about an acre a day.
Walk the finished ground
The ground is left as a layer of wood chips with roots in place, ready to use as a clear lot, fence line, pasture, trail or driveway edge. Thick growth and larger acreage take longer than a typical lot, and the written price covers the job as quoted.
