Amanda Elliott
Forestry Mulching
We hired Cut Brush for approximately three acres of forestry mulching and couldn't be happier. Communication was outstanding from the very beginning, the crew was professional and efficient, and we loved the regular updates and photos throughout the project. It's refreshing to work with a company that values communication and quality workmanship. Highly recommend!

Stan Creech
Land Clearing
Greg did a fantastic job with our land that was overgrown with vines, brush and trees. It took about 1 1/2 days of constant work with the machine to get this 0.6 acres under control. Greg was here at 8am sharp, just as promised. Very professional and reliable. 100% satisfied customer! I highly recommend Cut Brush for land clearing.
A straightforward process from the first conversation to land you can use.
From a lake lot near Brooklyn to a honeysuckle fencerow outside Tecumseh or a house site near Chelsea.
Our crew grinds brush, bush honeysuckle and young trees where they grow, from Brooklyn and Jackson, MI out to Adrian and Chelsea. The chips stay behind as ground cover.
An old field gone back to scrub, a wooded parcel or a lake lot lost under brush, opened to the line you pick, with stumps ground even with the soil.
Bush honeysuckle packed into a fencerow or the edge of the woods, cut back around the trees you keep, with a later sprout visit priced as its own line.
Room for a house, a drive and a utility route on a lake lot or a rural parcel, cleared to the ground so your builder can grade.
Watch our crew transform overgrown properties with professional forestry mulching equipment.
Columbia Township, MI covers the southeast corner of Jackson County around the Village of Brooklyn, which sits about 15 miles southeast of the city of Jackson. This is the Irish Hills, rolling hills and an array of kettle lakes: hollows left by glacial ice that later filled with water. Clark Lake and Lake Columbia lie within the township, and Vineyard Lake sits just east of Brooklyn. Our crew clears land from Jackson, MI and Leoni and Blackman townships south to Cambridge, Tecumseh and Adrian in Lenawee County, and east to Chelsea, Saline and Pittsfield Township in Washtenaw County.
Lake lots and fencerows here usually call for forestry mulching first, which grinds brush, honeysuckle and young trees in place and leaves the chips as cover for the soil. The other three are land clearing, honeysuckle and fencerow clearing and lot and homesite prep.
On a lake lot, the slope and the distance to the water shape the work more than the acreage does. Request a free quote; we'll contact you to discuss your property, access and the clearing you need.
Within 15 miles of the township, about a fifth of the land is wooded wetland and another 15 percent is deciduous forest, set among crop fields, hay and pasture. Bush honeysuckle fills those edges, along with old fields and fencerows.
Weighing up a lake lot? The Columbia Township forestry mulching cost guide walks through slope, lot size and the 500-foot line, the Michigan bush honeysuckle removal guide covers the visits a thicket needs, and the Michigan land clearing cost guide takes in soils, permits and timing for the whole state.
Lake lots and the 500-foot line. A soil erosion permit is typically required for any project within 500 feet of a lake or stream, whatever its size, or one acre or more of earth disturbance. In Jackson County those permits come from the county's SESC program at 120 West Michigan in Jackson. On a lot that runs down to the water, ask that office before stumps are pulled or ground is reshaped.
Rolling ground and wet low edges. Kettle lakes sit in hollows, so lots tilt toward the water and the low margins stay damp. That changes when the machine goes in: a soft shore edge is worked on firm or frozen ground, and a strip too steep or wet to work safely stays out of the job.
Burning near the village. State air rules keep fires of trees, brush and stumps more than 1,400 feet from an incorporated village's boundary, and in the southern Lower Peninsula burn permits come from the local fire department or local government. Brooklyn is an incorporated village in the middle of the township. Requirements vary by parcel, scope and jurisdiction, and the governing authority makes the determination.
