Questions
Practical answers before you call
Straight from Thickets Habitat and Land Works's own published answers.
Ask them directlyIs Thickets Habitat & Land Works insured?
Their site says they are fully insured.
Where do they work?
They're based in Belmont, Michigan and serve the whole state, notably around Grand Rapids, Gaylord and Kalamazoo, with service-area pages for places like Clare, Big Rapids and Mount Pleasant.
Do they use chemicals to remove invasive species?
No. They rely on mechanical removal of unwanted vegetation.
What is forestry mulching?
A clearing method where one machine cuts and grinds brush and debris, leaving the mulch on site to return nutrients to the soil. Typical jobs take a few days to several weeks depending on size.
What happens to stump grinding chips?
They're left on site to use as mulch, or removed on request. Stump grinding is priced by the number and size of stumps.
Can they clean up after logging or a building project?
Yes. They clear post-logging debris and use a heavy grapple to move excavation piles, timber and brush, which can then be mulched or cut for firewood.
