Salem Township is horse country forty minutes from Royal Oak, wedged between South Lyon, Northville and Plymouth on the Washtenaw side of the line: stables and boarding farms on Six Mile, Seven Mile, Currie, Tower and Brookville roads, hay fields between them, and five- to forty-acre parcels with board fence, with M-14 clipping the southeast corner.

The pasture and hay ground are where the work is: autumn olive and multiflora rose coming in from the fence lines, hedgerows of box elder and honeysuckle between the fields, pond banks gone to willow, and the riding trails through the back woods grown shut. We reclaim the pasture, open the fence lines, grind the hedgerows back to the line, cut the trails, and schedule it all around turnout.

Where we work in Salem Township: Salem, Brookville, Worden and the Six Mile, Seven Mile, Salem, Pontiac Trail, Currie, Tower, Dixboro and Brookville road corridors.

Questions We Hear in Salem Township

Can you work on an active boarding farm?

Yes. We plan the job with the barn manager, take one paddock at a time, and never run the machine in a field with horses in it. Nothing is left behind that could end up in a hoof.

How wide do you cut a riding trail?

Wide enough for a horse and rider to pass without ducking, with the overhead branches trimmed and the chip base left quiet underfoot. See our trail cutting page.
