Brush Hogging & Field Mowing in St. Clair County, Michigan
Old pasture, farmstead fields and hunting-parcel openings from Capac to the Black River, cut in one visit.
St. Clair County is the east edge of where we work, about an hour from Royal Oak up I-69 or M-19. The west side, Capac, Mussey, Berlin, Riley and Emmett, is flat farm country; the north, through Clyde, Kenockee and Brockway, is rolling and wooded along the Black River and Mill Creek; and the I-69 corridor through Kimball and Wales is where the new houses are going. All of it has fields that have gone a few seasons without a cut.
What grows back depends on the ground. Old pasture goes to hawthorn and autumn olive. The low spots in the clay townships come up in willow, dogwood and cottonwood, and the field edges fill with cherry and box elder saplings. We bring a brush hog for the open ground and a high-flow tracked skid steer with a FECON mulching head for everything woody, so the field and its edges are done on the same visit. The brush hogging page explains the method and the St. Clair County page covers our other work here.

How the Job Goes
Send photos or a map
A few photos and the address price most fields. Larger parcels we walk with you.
Check the ground
We look at the low spots and the drains and pick the week the field will carry the machine.
Cut it
Brush hog on the open ground, mulching head on the saplings, the thickets and the edges.
Hold it
A yearly cut keeps the hawthorn and autumn olive from coming back in.
When to do it
Upland fields and pasture are cut in early summer and again in fall. The clay low spots and drain banks are cut in the dry weeks of late summer or on frozen ground in winter.
How it is priced
By the project: acres, the height and density of the growth, and how much of it is woody. One written price covers the job and the travel. The pricing guide explains what moves the number.
The Ground This Work Happens On

Brush Hogging Questions We Hear in St. Clair County
How do you cut fields on the wet clay ground?
We time it. Low spots and drain banks are cut in the dry weeks of late summer or on frozen ground in winter, when the tracked machine rides over the clay. Upland fields and pasture can be cut in any season.
Do you brush hog hunting parcels in the Thumb?
Yes. Old fields and openings are cut from August into October so the ground is settled before the season. Flag your stands and cameras and we work around them.
How far is St. Clair County from your base?
Fifty to seventy minutes from Royal Oak depending on the township. The travel is built into one written project price, so the number you get before we start is the number you pay.
Can the saplings and thickets be done at the same time?
Yes. The mulching head grinds saplings, willow and dogwood thickets and grown-in fence rows on the same visit as the mowing, and it is all one price.
