Free Quotes | Fields, Lots & Basins | SE Michigan Since 1998
Ann Arbor, Michigan
Field mowing in Ann Arbor is mostly edge work. The city is close to built out, but the parcels waiting on a site plan, the back acres behind churches and schools, the detention basins off newer subdivisions and the farmland along the greenbelt all go waist high by July.
KBK Landscaping Inc. has run tractors out of Saline since 1998, and field mowing sits right next to the lot and brush clearing work we do across Washtenaw County. Residential, commercial and municipal ground. One call, one crew, one quote.
Before the First Pass
An Ann Arbor field hides things. Old survey stakes, coils of fence wire, a concrete footing from a barn nobody remembers. Hit one with a field grass mower at working speed and you lose a blade, a day and sometimes a window across the road. So we walk it first.
Every walk-through covers:
Twenty minutes on foot saves an afternoon of repairs. It also means the price we quote is the price of the job you actually have.
What We Mow
Most of the field mowing Ann Arbor property owners ask us for falls into one of these groups. If yours doesn't, call anyway.
Land on the north side off Plymouth Road and south toward I-94 can sit for years between purchase and groundbreaking. We keep it cut so the neighbors stop calling about it and the next survey crew can actually walk it.
Steep basin walls and long power line runs need a boom or flail head on a tractor. These are the jobs where a field lawn mower from the hardware store stalls out halfway up the bank.
The front lawn gets weekly care. The four acres behind the parking lot get forgotten until the goldenrod is shoulder high. One or two cuts a season keeps it presentable and keeps woody brush from moving in.
Timing the Cut
The city's Natural Area Preservation crews burn prairie plots in Ann Arbor parks most springs to keep shrubs from taking over. Private acreage next door doesn't get a burn crew. Mowing does that job instead, as long as the timing is right.
How we plan an Ann Arbor mowing season:
When a cleared parcel is going back to lawn, we follow the last cut with hydroseed or straw seeding so bare dirt doesn't wash onto the sidewalk.
Straight Answer
Some fields sat too long. Once buckthorn, autumn olive and box elder saplings get thicker than a broom handle, a mower deck is the wrong tool. Forcing it just shreds the stems, and they sprout right back thicker.
We'll tell you that during the free quote. Sometimes the right order is brush clearing first and mowing second. Sometimes one heavy flail pass handles it. Either way you hear it before any equipment shows up, not after.
Commercial & Municipal
Our field cutting services in and around Ann Arbor cover office park back lots, retention ponds, HOA open space, utility easements, roadside strips and municipal land. Property managers get one crew that shows up when the schedule says it will.
Roadside mowing and ditch banks are part of the same work. Boom mowers reach the slopes a tractor shouldn't drive straight across.
A closing, a survey crew, a site plan walk with the city. Call and we answer the same day, then get you a date that works.

Why KBK
Type field mowing near me from an Ann Arbor address and half the results are lawn services with a 48-inch deck. That's the right machine for a front yard. It's the wrong one for six acres of goldenrod. You want a field mowing service that owns tractors.
What Ann Arbor clients get from KBK:
We also schedule around the city. Nobody wants a tractor on a lowboy crawling up Main Street on a home football Saturday, so we don't do it. If you're still searching field mowing near me from somewhere in town, our yard is a short haul up Ann Arbor-Saline Road. We do the same work closer to home with field mowing in Saline and west of town on Scio Township acreage.

Questions
Partly. Acreage matters, but so do growth height, slope, wet ground, gate access and whether brush is mixed in. Two flat acres of grass and two acres of goldenrod and saplings are different jobs. We walk the property and give you a free quote for that specific ground.
Most fields do well with two or three cuts a year: late spring, midsummer and fall. If you only budget for one, make it the late-season cut. That's the pass that keeps woody saplings from getting established.
Usually, yes. We run a heavy flail pass on overgrown ground. If saplings are thicker than a broom handle, we'll recommend clearing the brush first so the field stays open afterward.
Yes. Pasture mowing tops off weeds and rank growth so the grass your animals actually eat can come back. We work around your rotation and keep gates and fence lines in mind.
Tractors with flail mowers for heavy growth and boom mowers for ditch banks, pond edges and slopes. We match the machine to the ground so turf and fences come through undamaged.
Yes. Smaller city lots get the same walk-through as big acreage. We check access, nearby sidewalks and parked cars, and plan the cut so nothing gets thrown where it shouldn't.
We pull out what we find, like old tires, fence wire and brush piles. If there's a lot of it, debris removal gets quoted up front so there are no surprises on the invoice.
We return calls the same day. Scheduling depends on the season and the weather, but you get a real date when we quote. Call 888-408-0320 to get started.
Development parcels, detention basins, back acreage, pasture and roadside strips. Different ground, different machine.
