What is Trail & Access Road?

A property that can’t be accessed is a property you can’t use. Whether you need a path cut through the woods to reach the back of your hunting land, a farm road that handles equipment and vehicles through wet conditions, or a commercial access drive to a back lot — the work has to be done right to be functional long-term.

Davis & Company clears and builds trails and access roads for property owners throughout Mid-Michigan. We work with farmers, landowners, and commercial clients who need practical, functional vehicle access to areas of their property.

What We Do

We clear vegetation, grade the path, address drainage as needed, and build access routes that hold up to regular use. The scope depends on what the land looks like and what the trail or road needs to handle — a hiking path through the woods is a different job than a farm road that needs to support loaded equipment. We assess the site and put together the right approach.

Other Services You Might Need

Trail and access road work typically overlaps with other land services. Land clearing handles the heavier tree and brush removal needed before a path can be cut through, and forestry mulching is an efficient way to deal with dense vegetation along the route. Culvert installation is often part of the project where the road crosses a drainage area or seasonal water flow. For larger parcels being opened up for the first time, excavation may be needed to address the terrain. Site prep and grading ensures the road base is solid enough to handle the equipment or vehicles it needs to support.

Who We Work WIth

Farmers who need equipment access to back fields. Hunting property owners who want trails without losing the natural character of the land. Commercial properties that need rear lot or field access. Landowners who bought property with no existing access infrastructure.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's involved in building a basic trail or path?

At minimum, it involves clearing vegetation and creating a defined path through the existing terrain. Depending on where the trail goes and what it needs to support, it may also involve grading, drainage work, and surface preparation. We’ll assess what’s needed after seeing the land.

Yes. We handle clearing and grading through wooded areas. The scope depends on tree density, the grade of the terrain, and what the road needs to handle. Give us a call and describe the project.

That depends on your equipment. We discuss the intended use before planning the width and grade of the road — farm equipment clearances vary and we want to build something you can actually use.

Yes. Drainage is critical for roads through farm fields and wooded areas. We address it as part of the project, which often includes culverts where the road crosses water flow.

Yes. For hunting properties especially, preserving the surrounding environment is important. We can clear a functional path without making it look like a clearcut. We’ll talk through the look and feel you’re going for.

Financing

We understand that outdoor and site work can be a significant investment. We do offer financing options — ask us about it when you reach out and we’ll walk you through what’s available.
