Most of Holly Recreation Area is actually in Groveland Township, along with Groveland Oaks County Park and the Mt. Holly ski hill, and the private land around them is sandy oak-and-pine upland cut into five- to forty-acre parcels. With fewer than six thousand people in thirty-six square miles, it is one of the emptiest townships in Oakland County, which makes it hunting land, horse land and a place people build one house on a big piece of ground.

The work follows: hunting parcels that share a fence with the recreation area, trail systems through the sandy hills, pasture that has gone to autumn olive, building sites off the dirt roads, and the same abandoned Christmas-tree plantings that Holly and Springfield have. Groveland is about forty-five minutes from Royal Oak up Dixie Highway, and everything is ground into a chip layer in place, so there is nothing to burn.

Where we work in Groveland Township: Groveland Corners, Austin Corners and the Dixie Highway, Grange Hall, Jossman, Bird, Wildwood and Tripp road corridors.

Questions We Hear in Groveland Township

Do you clear trails wide enough for a side-by-side?

Yes. Six to eight feet with the overhead branches trimmed is the usual spec, and a walking trail can be narrower. The chip base is quiet underfoot and sheds water on the grades. Our trail cutting page covers the options.

How far ahead does fall hunting work book?

August and September fill first. If you want the parcel ready before the season, call in July.
