Land Clearing & Forestry Mulching in Ortonville, Michigan
Forestry mulching, brush hogging and lot clearing in Brandon Township, about 45 minutes from our base in Royal Oak.
Brandon Township is the hilly, wooded northwest of Oakland County: Ortonville village on Kearsley Creek, Bald Eagle Lake, Lake Louise and Perry Lake, and the state recreation land that runs north into Lapeer County. The lots are two to ten acres on dirt roads off Seymour Lake, Hadley, Oakwood and Granger, with horse farms north of the village and new houses still going up on the splits.
The hills are the story here. Sandy ridges grow autumn olive, hawthorn and scrub aspen the moment the mowing stops, oak woods fill in with cherry and buckthorn, and the low ground between the ridges is dogwood and cattail. Hillside work is walked and planned on site, the way our hillside clearing guide describes, and the chip layer we leave stays on the slope. Ortonville is about forty-five minutes from Royal Oak up M-15.
Where we work in Brandon Township: the Village of Ortonville, Brandon Gardens, Oakwood, Perry Lake Heights and the M-15, Seymour Lake, Hadley, Oakwood and Sashabaw road corridors.

Questions We Hear in Ortonville
My lot is all hills. How do you handle that?
We walk it first and plan the passes on site so the machine always works from stable ground. The chip layer left behind holds the slope while grass comes back, which is the main reason mulching beats clearing and hauling on hilly ground.
When is the best season for a Brandon Township job?
Any season for the hills and the building sites. Wet lowland and creek banks are scheduled for frozen ground or the dry stretch of late summer. Hunting-land work books up for August through October.
Can you open up a wooded lot for a new house in Brandon Township?
Yes. We clear the house footprint, the drive line and the septic area to a chip layer, tape the oaks you want kept, and leave the lot walkable for the surveyor and the excavator the same day. Send the plot plan with your photos and you get one written project price for the whole lot.
