Land Clearing & Forestry Mulching in Plymouth and Northville, Michigan

Plymouth Township and Northville Township sit side by side about thirty-five minutes from Royal Oak, split by Interstate 275 and wrapped around the two independent cities they share their names with. The Middle Rouge River threads through both townships as Hines Park, the long ribbon of parkland along the old millrace towns, and 944-acre Maybury State Park covers the rolling meadow and forest ground on Northville Township’s west side, land that was a working sanatorium campus before it became a park. Both townships were farmland within living memory, and the older field lines still turn up as tree rows and drainage ditches between subdivisions. Eight Mile Road forms the townships’ north edge, Interstates 96 and 275 run together down the east side, and M-14 cuts west across Plymouth Township toward Ann Arbor.

Wooded lots along the Hines Park corridor and the creeks that feed the Rouge fill in with honeysuckle and box elder under the oaks, the same way any river-corridor lot does. Subdivision outlots and the open ground near the park boundaries grow autumn olive and Callery pear fast, and the handful of larger estate lots toward the township edges still carry old fence lines and hedgerows that need to be reopened. Even the manicured subdivisions built up since then have drainage swales and creek setbacks that nobody mows on a landscaping contract, and those fill in with the same brush any fence row grows once it is left alone that long. We grind it flat where it stands and leave the mature trees that make these lots worth having.
