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!

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.

Land Clearing & Forestry Mulching Around Port Huron and St. Clair County

Our crew clears overgrown land in Kimball Township, MI, the township just west of Port Huron that takes in the community of Smiths Creek, and across St. Clair County: north to Fort Gratiot and Burtchville, south along the St. Clair River through Marysville, St. Clair, Marine City and Algonac, and west to Yale, Capac and Imlay City. Lenox, New Baltimore and Romeo in northern Macomb County are covered too, along with Croswell in Sanilac County.

Most of the clearing people ask about here is on homesites and small rural tracts: a wooded lot someone bought to build on, a field edge that has filled with saplings, the brushy strip along a drain. Our main tool is forestry mulching, which grinds the growth to chips on the spot. The same crew handles land clearing, pear thicket and understory clearing, and lot and homesite prep.

Sound Familiar?

  • A lot you bought to build on that is wall-to-wall saplings and brush
  • A field edge where young pear trees with thorns have moved in
  • Flat clay ground that turns soft every wet spring
  • A back line along a drain or the river that nobody can walk

Cut Brush Delivers

  • The lot opened to the ground, ready for the builder to grade
  • The pear stand mulched, with return cuts for the sprouts in writing
  • Work booked for dry or frozen ground so the clay is not rutted
  • Brush ground in place, leaving roots and chips to hold the soil

Why St. Clair County Landowners Choose Cut Brush

A clearing job west of Port Huron usually comes down to three things: flat ground that holds water, a tree that sprouts back when it is cut, and a lot small enough that the minimum matters.

  • Nothing to haul or burn. The mulcher leaves the brush as chips on the ground it came from, so there is no pile waiting for a burn permit and no trailer loads to the landfill.
  • Roots stay in the soil. Cutting at the surface leaves the root mat and a chip cover on the clay, so the lot is not left bare and sloppy after the first rain.
  • Rates published before you call. Our Kimball Township pricing page shows the band for every type of job, along with how the minimum charge works.
  • A plan for regrowth. Callery pear answers a cut with new shoots, so the quote lists every sprout visit separately and you settle the plan before work starts.
  • What the price includes. Brush, small trees and stumps ground to mulch on site, stumps flush with the ground and nothing hauled away. Full stump removal below grade and cutting and hauling very large trees are discussed and priced in the quote; grading is left to your builder.

Pricing a small lot? The Kimball forestry mulching cost guide shows how a lot under an acre is billed, and the Michigan land clearing cost guide covers the statewide rules on erosion, wetlands and burning.

What to Know Before Clearing Land Around Kimball

The ground is old lake bottom. Kimball sits in the Huron/Erie Lake Plains, where the soil is clay that was once the bottom of large glacial lakes. That clay is flat and slow to drain. A tracked machine on it after a wet week leaves ruts, so the start date follows the ground: a dry spell in late summer or fall, or a hard freeze.

Pear is moving into fields. Callery pear, the wild form of the Bradford pear, is becoming established along roadsides and in fields throughout the Lower Peninsula. Michigan restricts it from 1 January 2028, which stops its sale but orders no one to remove trees already growing. Our Michigan Bradford pear removal guide covers why one cutting fails and what follow-up costs.

Who signs off on permits. The St. Clair County Health Department, at 3415 28th Street in Port Huron, runs the county's Part 91 soil erosion program. A permit is needed for an earth change of an acre or more, or any within 500 feet of a lake or stream, and the Pine River runs through the township. Kimball Township allows open burning only with a township permit from its office on Wadhams Road. Requirements vary by parcel, scope and jurisdiction, and the governing authority makes the determination.

Kimball Township Land Clearing FAQ

Sometimes. The St. Clair County Health Department issues soil erosion permits under Part 91, and one is required for any earth change that disturbs an acre or more, or that sits within 500 feet of a lake or stream, counting creeks that serve as drains. Burning needs a township permit in Kimball Township. Requirements vary by parcel, scope and jurisdiction, and the governing authority makes the determination.
Most jobs here fall between $1,500 and $4,500 an acre. Brush and pear cut out from under trees that stay runs $1,500 to $2,500, and a dense stand mulched to the soil sits in the $1,500 to $4,000 forestry mulching band. Small jobs carry a minimum charge of about $1,500, which is where they start, not a fee added on top. Every band is on the Kimball Township pricing page, and the Kimball forestry mulching cost guide works through a lot under an acre.
Expect it to. Cutting it, or nicking its roots while mowing, can push it to send up more shoots, so the plan includes return cuts. Any stump treatment is a licensed applicator's work. Our Michigan Bradford pear removal guide sets out the visits.
When the ground is firm. The clay under much of southeast Michigan drains slowly, so a tracked machine does best in a dry stretch of late summer or fall, or on hard-frozen ground in winter. If your dates are flexible, say so when you request a quote.
