🌲 What is Land Clearing & Overgrowth Reclaiming?
Land clearing involves removing unwanted vegetation, small trees, stumps, brush, debris, and invasive growth to make a plot of land usable again. Overgrowth reclaiming is more than just cutting tall grass—it’s about taking back land that’s been neglected or overtaken by nature over time.
This Service Includes:
Brush and undergrowth removal
Small tree and sapling clearing
Fence line and property border reclaiming
Vines, briars, and invasive species removal
Stump pulling (small to mid-sized)
Surface grading and debris haul-away
Optional rough grading or seeding
We serve both residential and commercial properties across the Midland, MI area.

Creating space for new construction
Reclaiming pastures or backyards
Improving property appearance or value
Preparing for driveways, pole barns, or fencing
Clearing around buildings or structures
Enhancing drainage or visibility
Managing invasive species
Accessing previously blocked acreage
Whether you’re on a rural property, wooded lot, or commercial site, we’ll work with you to clear what you don’t want and protect what you do.

🛠️ Our Land Clearing Process
At C & M Site Services LLC, we don’t just “brush hog” and leave. We take a thorough approach to remove material, clean the site, and if needed, grade and prepare it for future use.
Step 1: Site Evaluation & Quote
We walk your property with you to determine:
Property boundaries and goals
Type and density of overgrowth
Access for equipment
Obstacles (fences, rocks, structures)
Ground conditions (wet, sloped, uneven)
We’ll offer clear options and pricing for each phase of the job.
Step 2: Clearing Brush, Saplings & Undergrowth
Using our TYM 574 cabbed tractor, we begin the process of:
Cutting and mulching brush
Pulling saplings and invasive growth
Clearing fence lines and old pathways
Removing overhanging limbs or vines
We focus on selective clearing to preserve desirable trees or features when needed.
Step 3: Removing Stumps, Rocks & Surface Hazards
We can remove or grind down smaller stumps and extract buried debris. For larger stumps, we can cut flush or recommend safe handling.
Step 4: Haul-Away or Mulching On-Site
Depending on your needs, we:
Haul away material for disposal
Create burn piles for you to manage
Chip and redistribute mulch on-site
Leave usable logs or wood as requested
Step 5 (Optional): Rough Grading or Prep for Next Steps
If you’re planning to build, seed, or pave the area, we’ll leave the surface leveled and compacted for follow-up work.

💬 Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How much land can you clear in a day?
A: Most half-acre jobs are completed in a day or less, depending on density. Larger jobs may take 2–3 days.
Q: Can you clear around fences or buildings?
A: Yes. We’re careful around structures, and can hand-clear tight areas if needed.
Q: What happens to the debris?
A: We can either pile it for your use (burning, composting), chip it, or haul it off—your choice.
Q: Do I need a permit for land clearing?
A: Generally no for standard clearing. If wetlands or large tree removal is involved, we’ll help you determine what’s required.
Q: What happens if it rains during my job?
A: We monitor the forecast and communicate if delays are needed. Our cabbed equipment allows us to work in moderate weather.
