Land Clearing & Forestry Mulching in Clarkston, Michigan
Forestry mulching, brush hogging and lot clearing in Independence Township, about 30 minutes from our base in Royal Oak.
Independence Township sits on the Hillsdale-Lapeer moraine, which is why it has Pine Knob, Waterford Hill, the headwaters of the Clinton River and more than thirty named lakes: Deer, Greens, Walters, Cranberry, Crooked and the rest. The lots around Clarkston run from lake frontage and wooded subdivision backyards to one- to five-acre parcels north of Clarkston Road, and the whole township is thirty minutes from our base in Royal Oak.
Buckthorn and honeysuckle fill in under the oaks until the back yard is a wall, grapevine and box elder run down the lake banks, and cattail and willow take the low ground between the hills. The mulcher grinds it flat where it stands, the chip layer holds the slopes, and the mature trees that make a Clarkston lot worth having stay exactly where they are.
Where we work in Independence Township: the City of the Village of Clarkston, Pine Knob, Deer Lake, Waterford Hill and the Dixie Highway, Sashabaw, Clarkston Road and M-15 corridors.
Common Jobs in Independence Township
- Lake lot banks and shoreline brush on Deer Lake, Greens Lake, Walters Lake, Cranberry Lake and the smaller lakes off Clintonville and Pine Knob roads.

- New-build lot clearing on the parcels north of Clarkston Road and along Sashabaw, with keeper trees flagged.
- Hillside brush on the moraine slopes around Pine Knob and Waterford Hill, walked and planned on site.
- Outlots, retention pond banks and commercial parcels along Dixie Highway and Sashabaw Road.


Questions We Hear in Clarkston
Can you clear a hilly lot around Pine Knob?
Yes. Slopes are walked and planned on site so the machine works from stable ground, and the chip layer stays on the hill and holds it. See our hillside clearing guide for how we approach steep ground.
How small a backyard will you do?
Any size. A subdivision backyard that has grown shut is usually a half-day job. Send a photo of the side yard or gate and we will confirm the access.
