Land Clearing & Forestry Mulching in Almont, Michigan
Forestry mulching, brush hogging and lot clearing in Almont Township, about 50 minutes from our base in Royal Oak.
Almont is where the Lapeer County hills flatten out into farm country. The township along M-53, Dryden, Bordman and Howland roads is hay fields and cropland cut by hedgerows and ditches, with woodlots in the corners, the Belle River just west, and five- and ten-acre splits going to new houses and barns. It is about fifty minutes from Royal Oak straight up Van Dyke.
A hedgerow that was a single line of fence posts in the eighties is a forty-foot band of box elder, mulberry and grapevine now, and the woodlot behind it takes a little more of the field every summer. That is the Almont job: grind the row back to the survey line, push the woodlot edge back to where it belongs, and leave a chip strip the tractor can work right up to. The splits going to new houses get the same treatment on a smaller scale, and the old farmsteads get their windbreaks and fence rows cleaned up before they sell.
Where we work in Almont Township: the Village of Almont and the M-53 (Van Dyke), Dryden, Bordman, Almont, Howland and Sandhill road corridors.
Common Jobs in Almont Township
- Hedgerows between fields ground back to the survey line, roots left to rot, so the ground can be worked to the edge.
- Woodlot edges pushed back to the property line where they have crept into hay and crop ground.
- House and barn sites on the five- and ten-acre splits, cleared to the footprint, drive and septic area.
- Hunting parcels toward Berlin Township and Dryden: access trails, lanes and plot ground.
- Farmstead cleanup before a sale: windbreaks, collapsed fence rows and the brush around the outbuildings.
Questions We Hear in Almont
Can you take out a hedgerow without damaging the field?
Yes. The row is ground to a chip strip at the survey line, the roots stay in the ground and rot, and the field can be worked right up to the edge. A hard freeze or the dry end of August is the best time so the field carries the machine without a mark.
Do you brush hog open fields?
Yes. A brush hog handles grass and light brush on open ground, and the mulcher takes the saplings and the rows. Most Almont jobs use both; see brush hogging.
