Perry, United States – June 5, 2026 / Davis & Company /

Property owners across Shiawassee County face the same problem every spring. Land needs clearing, driveways didn’t survive winter, and site prep from last fall was never finished. Davis & Company, a family-owned excavation and outdoor services company based in Perry, Michigan, has announced expanded land clearing services for the 2026 season. The company serves residential homeowners, farmers, and commercial clients across Mid-Michigan. Founded in 2015, Davis & Company covers every phase of a site work project — brush removal, grading, driveway installation, and hydro-seeding — with its own equipment and crew across Perry, Howell, Brighton, Fenton, and Lansing.

“Land clearing is rarely just one job. It connects directly to everything else on the property — the driveway that needs a stable base, the field that hasn’t been usable in years, the building pad that has to drain properly before anything gets built. Our goal is to be the one crew a Mid-Michigan property owner needs to call from the first tree we take down to the ground we seed when the work is done.” — [Owner First Name] Davis, Owner, Davis & Company

What Land Clearing Services Include for Perry, MI Property Owners

A full land clearing project goes beyond cutting down trees. It typically includes brush and undergrowth removal, stump extraction, surface grading, and debris hauling. For agricultural clients across Shiawassee County, that often means reclaiming overgrown pastures or clearing farm access corridors that have closed in over time. For residential homeowners in Perry, Howell, and Brighton, it’s more commonly a wooded lot being cleared for a new build or a fence line reclaimed from years of growth. Davis & Company handles both scales with its own equipment, without outsourcing clearing or haul-away to third parties.

How Site Prep and Grading Determine Whether a Michigan Driveway Lasts

Michigan’s freeze-thaw cycle and clay-heavy soils are the most common reasons driveways fail before they should. Clay expands when saturated and contracts through winter — a pattern that destroys any surface not built on a properly compacted base. Gravel driveways that rut, sink, or wash out after one winter are almost always a site preparation failure, not a materials failure. Davis & Company treats driveway grading as a function of excavation, not a separate add-on, and includes drainage evaluation and culvert planning as part of every on-site assessment.

What Should Mid-Michigan Property Owners Look for in a Land Clearing Contractor?

A qualified land clearing contractor should own their equipment, visit the property before quoting, and handle debris removal without subcontracting. Scope should be clearly defined before work begins — including stump disposal, final surface grading, and whether erosion control measures such as hydro-seeding are part of the project plan. Davis & Company provides free on-site estimates and assigns the same crew from initial clearing through final grading. Clients speak directly with the people doing the work, not a dispatch service, from the first call through project completion.

Why Exposed Ground After Clearing Requires Immediate Erosion Control

Land clearing leaves soil exposed and vulnerable to runoff, particularly during Mid-Michigan’s wet spring season. Forestry mulching — where dense brush and vegetation is ground into mulch on-site — reduces soil disruption by leaving ground cover rather than bare earth. After grading is complete, hydro-seeding establishes grass cover across disturbed ground faster than conventional seeding, controlling erosion before summer rains arrive. Davis & Company provides both services as integrated components of larger site work and land clearing projects throughout the region.

Why Farmers and Commercial Clients Across Mid-Michigan Work with Davis & Company

Agricultural work has been part of Davis & Company’s project mix since the company was founded in 2015. Farm properties in Shiawassee County and Livingston County require a specific combination of services — land reclamation, drainage ditching, culvert installation, and access road construction — that residential landscapers aren’t equipped to handle. Davis & Company serves agricultural and commercial clients with the same direct-communication and on-site assessment process it applies to every residential job. Financing is available for qualifying projects through the company’s partner platform.
