Davison sits east of Flint where M-15 meets I-69, about seventy minutes from Royal Oak, with Richfield Township running north from the city toward the small crossroads communities of Richfield Center, Rogersville and Russellville. The ground here is a mix of hobby farms, subdivisions built along the Lapeer Road corridor and older farmsteads that are still worked, spread out more than the closer-in Genesee County suburbs. Coldwater Road and Irish Road cut across the township on the grid the original farm sections were laid out on, and a lot of that grid still holds even where the fields themselves have gone to pasture or been split for new houses.

Pasture that stops being grazed around Davison and Richfield Township goes to autumn olive and multiflora rose within a few seasons, the fence lines around old barns and outbuildings fill in with box elder and wild grape, and the field edges on the farm ground still worked here creep in a little more every year. Subdivision outlots along the Lapeer Road corridor get the same buckthorn and Callery pear growth as anywhere else in the county. Even close to the city, the lots along that corridor were farmed within living memory, and the fence lines and windbreaks from that era are still there to be cleared when a property changes hands. We reclaim the pasture, grind the hedgerows back to the line and clear building sites on the splits, all ground into a chip layer in place.

Common Jobs in Davison and Richfield Township

  • Hobby-farm pasture and paddocks reclaimed from autumn olive and multiflora rose, with fence lines opened for new board or wire and the work scheduled around turnout.
  • Fence rows and field edges on the farm ground still worked around Richfield Center and Rogersville, ground back to the survey line so it stays workable and mowable.
  • Old farmstead cleanup: windbreaks, collapsed fence rows and brush around old outbuildings taken down ahead of a sale, an inspection or a new build on the property.
  • Subdivision outlots along the Lapeer Road corridor, cleared to a mulch layer that can be mowed and priced as one job for the property or association.
  • Wooded building sites on the splits between Davison and Richfield Township, cleared to the footprint and drive with keeper trees flagged.

Questions We Hear in Davison

Can you work an active hobby farm around Davison?

Yes. We schedule around whatever is still on the property, take pasture back one paddock at a time, and leave nothing behind that could end up in a hoof. The chip layer is fine to graze over once the grass comes back through it the following season.

Do you clear subdivision outlots along the Lapeer Road corridor?

Yes. Outlots and buffer strips along Lapeer Road and M-15 grow the same buckthorn and Callery pear as anywhere else in the county, and we clear them to a mulch layer the landscaper can mow, priced as one job for the property or the association.
