Land Clearing & Forestry Mulching in Farmington Hills, Michigan

Farmington Hills is the second-largest community in Oakland County, thirty-three square miles wrapped around the older city of Farmington, with West Bloomfield to the north, Franklin and Southfield to the east, Livonia to the south and Novi to the west. The two Farmingtons share schools and a library, and most people treat them as one town. The Upper Rouge River starts here, forming inside the city and running southeast through Farmington on its way toward Livonia, and Heritage Park keeps 211 acres of woods and marsh open in the middle of it. From our yard in Royal Oak it is twenty to twenty-five minutes out I-696.

Most of Farmington Hills was built as wooded subdivisions on rolling ground, and that is still what the work looks like: half-acre and larger lots where the back third has gone to buckthorn, honeysuckle and wild grape, ravines and drain banks along the Rouge and its feeder drains that nobody has walked in years, and a line of box elder and mulberry along the back fence. The office corridors along Twelve Mile, Northwestern Highway and Orchard Lake Road have their own version of it, with retention pond banks and wooded buffers behind the buildings filling in a little more each season. We grind it where it stands, leave the oaks and maples you flag, and the chip layer holds the bank on the ravine lots.
