Land Clearing & Forestry Mulching in Columbus Township, Michigan
Forestry mulching, brush hogging and lot clearing in Columbus Township, about 55 minutes from our base in Royal Oak.
Columbus Township is the Belle River country between Richmond and St. Clair, fifty-five minutes from Royal Oak up Gratiot: the river and its drains running through flat clay farm ground, Columbus County Park on the river with its hunting and riding trails, woodlots on every section, and ten- to forty-acre hunting parcels and new houses along Rattle Run, Bauman and Gratiot roads.
Half the parcels in Columbus Township touch the Belle River or one of its drains, which means half the parcels have a bottom that grows willow and cottonwood faster than anyone can cut it. The woodlots above the river close their two-tracks with cherry saplings, and the hedgerows between the fields go to box elder. We take the bottoms on frozen ground, the trails and lanes in late summer, and the hedgerows and building sites whenever the clay is dry or frozen.
Where we work in Columbus Township: Columbus, Belle River, Snyderville and the Gratiot, Rattle Run and Bauman road corridors.
Common Jobs in Columbus Township
- Belle River bottom and drain-bank brush, cleared on frozen ground so the bank stays intact.
- Woodlot two-tracks, stand approaches, shooting lanes and plot ground on the hunting parcels.
- Hedgerows between fields ground to the survey line.
- House sites on the new splits, cleared to the footprint, drive and septic area.
- Farmsteads: windbreaks, fence rows and the brush around barns.
Questions We Hear in Columbus Township
Can you clear food plot ground on clay?
Yes. The plot is cleared to a chip layer that can be disked in once it settles, and clay plots are best cleared in late summer when the ground is dry. Our food plot guide covers timing and layout.
What about the river bottom?
That is winter work. The floodplain is soft nine months of the year, so the willow and cottonwood are ground in January and February when the tracks ride on the frost and the bank stays intact.
