Forestry mulching, land clearing, excavation and retaining walls, all estimated and done by the owner.
Clearing, mulching, digging and walls from one owner-operator.
Onyx Land Clearing and Excavation handles the ground work that comes before almost every property project: clearing it, mulching it, digging it, and holding it in place. Every job is estimated and done by owner Michael Lee, for homeowners and commercial property owners in Montrose and the surrounding area within about an hour's drive.
Below is a quick look at each service. Pick the one closest to your project to learn more, or call (810) 955-4752 if you're not sure what you need yet. Michael can usually tell you after a short conversation and a look at the property.
Forestry mulching is a primary focus for Onyx. It's a way to take out brush, overgrowth, and small trees and grind them down in place, leaving the material on the ground instead of hauling it away in piles. It works well for overgrown back acreage, fence lines, trails, and wooded areas you want opened up without tearing up the whole property.

When a piece of property needs to go from overgrown to usable, land clearing is where it starts. Onyx clears land for homeowners who want more usable yard, buyers getting a lot ready to build, and owners who need acreage cleaned up.
Excavation covers the digging side of the business. If your project needs ground opened, moved, or shaped, Onyx can handle it with the right equipment for the site.
Retaining walls hold back soil on slopes and uneven ground, and they can turn a hillside that's hard to use into level, usable space. Onyx builds new walls and works on existing walls that are leaning, failing, or simply worn out.
Onyx has snow plowing capability during the winter months. Availability depends on the season, the size of the job, and where the property is located, so the best step is to call and ask whether your property is a good fit.

A wooded lot might need forestry mulching or clearing first, then excavation for a foundation, then a retaining wall where the grade drops off. Because Michael does each step himself, he plans the whole project from the start instead of leaving it to separate contractors to work out.
Onyx is based in Montrose and regularly works within about an hour's drive, including Lapeer, Metamora, Lake Orion, Howell, and Owosso. Larger or multi-day projects farther out are considered case by case.
Estimates are free, and they come from Michael, not a salesperson. Call (810) 955-4752 or send a message with a little about your property and what you'd like done.
