Land clearing gets a property back. Maintenance keeps it that way. We run scheduled cuts for owners who do not want to think about the ground again: vacant lots in Detroit, Highland Park and Pontiac that have to stay cut, investor portfolios with a dozen addresses, commercial grounds, association outlots and pond banks, easements and corridors, and the acreage behind a house that only needs to be mowed a few times a year.
A maintenance account is simple. We walk the property once, agree on what gets cut and how often, and put one price in writing for the schedule. Then the cuts happen on the schedule, every ten days, every two weeks or monthly, without a call from you. If the property starts overgrown, the first visit is a cleanup and the schedule starts from there. Everything cut stays cut, and a lot that stays cut does not draw complaints.
Maintenance is where the brush hog and the mulcher pay for themselves twice: the first clearing takes the lot back, and the schedule keeps the brush from ever getting ahead again. See brush hogging for the cutting side and vacant lot cleanup for the first visit on a neglected lot.
What we clear
- Vacant residential lots and side lots in Detroit, Highland Park, Hamtramck and Pontiac.
- Rental and investor properties, priced per address or as one portfolio.
- Commercial grounds, storage yards and the strip along the fence.
- Association outlots, buffer strips and pond banks after the first clearing.
- Easements, corridors and access lanes kept open year to year.
- Acreage and fields behind a house that need a few cuts a season.
What you get
- A property that looks cared for every time anyone drives by.
- One written price and one person to call.
- A cut schedule that runs without you.
- Brush that never gets ahead of the mower again.
How the Job Goes
Walk it once
We look at the property, note what gets cut and what stays, and agree on the schedule.
Set the price
One written price for the schedule you choose, with the first cleanup quoted on its own if the lot starts overgrown.
Cut on schedule
Every ten days, two weeks or month, on the same day of the cycle, without a call.
Adjust as the season changes
Spring growth gets a tighter cycle, late summer a looser one. The rate stays flat.
When to do it
April through November for cutting. Winter visits for brush, blowdown and the first clearing on a new account. Accounts can start any month.
How it is priced
One written price set after a walk-through, based on lot size, growth and how often it needs a cut. Portfolios of multiple addresses are priced together. The first cleanup on an overgrown lot is quoted on its own.

Questions About This Work
What does a maintenance account cost?
One written price set after we walk the property, based on the size of the lot, how much grows and how often you want it cut. Multiple addresses are priced as one account. No two lots are the same, so the price is written for yours.
Can you start on a lot that is already overgrown?
Yes. The first visit is a cleanup, priced on its own, and the schedule starts from there. See vacant lot cleanup.
Do you handle investor portfolios?
Yes. Send the list of addresses and we walk them, set one rate for the portfolio, and keep every address on the same cycle.
Do I need to be there for the cuts?
No. Once the schedule is set the cuts happen on their own, and you can ask for a photo after each visit if you want to see the property.
