Brush Hogging & Field Mowing in Lapeer County, Michigan
Horse pasture, idle hay ground and hunting-parcel fields from Metamora to Imlay City, cut back to open field in one visit.
Lapeer County is field country. South of the city of Lapeer the ground rolls through Metamora, Hadley and Dryden in horse pasture, hay fields and ten- to eighty-acre parcels; east toward Almont and out to Imlay City it flattens into farm sections. A field here that misses a season or two comes up in goldenrod, thistle and briars first, and then the autumn olive, hawthorn and box elder move in from the fence rows.
Brush hogging takes it back while it is still grass and light brush. We bring a brush hog for the open acreage and a high-flow tracked skid steer with a FECON mulching head for the saplings and the thick edges, so a field with a grown-in fence row is one visit and one price. The brush hogging page explains the method, and the Lapeer County page covers the clearing work we do here beyond mowing.

Where Brush Hogging Comes Up in Lapeer County
The fields we get called about most in this county.
Horse pasture in Metamora, Hadley and Dryden
The south end of the county runs on horses. Pasture and paddocks are cut one field at a time around turnout, and the fence lines are opened up for new board or wire on the same visit. Pasture reclamation →
Fields on hunting parcels
Old fields, plot ground and the openings between woodlots are cut in late summer so they have settled before the season. Trails, shooting lanes and plots can go in on the same trip. Hunting land clearing →
Idle farm ground toward Almont and Imlay City
Flat sections that have sat a season or two are cut back to open field, with the hedgerows and woodlot edges ground back to the line. Fence line clearing →
Home acreage
Dryden, Almont and Metamora are still splitting five- and ten-acre parcels. The acres behind the house are cut once, or put on a schedule so they stay open. Property maintenance →
How the Job Goes
Send the address and photos
A few photos or a phone video of the field is enough to price most jobs. Bigger parcels we walk with you.
Flag what stays
Wellheads, stakes, young trees, anything in the grass you want left. We walk the field before the first pass.
Cut the field and the edges
The brush hog takes the open ground; the mulching head grinds the saplings and the fence rows.
Keep it open
One cut a year holds the brush back. Fields on a schedule are priced for the season.
When to do it
Most fields are cut in early summer and again in fall. Pasture is cut around grazing, hunting-parcel fields in late summer, and low ground during a dry stretch or on frozen ground.
How it is priced
By the project: acres, how tall and thick the growth is, and how much edge work there is. You get one written price with the travel included. The pricing guide explains what moves the number.
The Ground This Work Happens On
Open ground in Southeast Michigan, before and after it is kept cut.

Brush Hogging Questions We Hear in Lapeer County
Do you brush hog small acreage in Lapeer County?
Yes. A two-acre back lot and a forty-acre field are both priced as one project with the travel already in it. Send photos and the address and you get one number for the whole job.
How overgrown can the field be?
Grass, goldenrod and briars over your head are normal for a field that has sat. Saplings and thick brush along the edges are ground with the mulching head on the same visit, so the whole field is handled at once.
Can you cut pasture with horses on the property?
Yes. We schedule around turnout and take one paddock at a time, with the horses moved to the far field while the machine is working.
How often should a field be cut?
Once a year keeps saplings from taking hold, and twice keeps a field in grass. If you want it kept open we put it on a schedule and price the season.
