Land clearing, grading, excavation, and gravel driveways for homes, farms, and building sites across seven Upstate counties. Family-owned and owner-run on every job.
Something went wrong sending your message — please call us instead.
My name is Brian Van Emmerik, and my family and I are proud to call the Upstate home. I grew up working on my family’s farms in the Midwest, where I learned early that land takes care of you when you take care of it.
I spent more than twenty years in heavy civil construction, helping manage projects like the Ravenel Bridge in Charleston and the I-385 Gateway right here in Greenville. Custom Cut Land Works is where all of that experience comes home, to the driveways, home sites, and pastures of our neighbors across the Upstate.
We’re a family company through and through. My three boys are growing up around this work the same way I grew up on the farm, and we run the business on the values we live by: honesty, hard work, and respect for the land. When we’re on your property, we treat it like our own.
If you’ve got land that needs clearing, grading, or just a plan, give me a call. I’d be glad to walk it with you.
Custom Cut Land Works is a family-owned land clearing and excavation company serving seven counties across the Upstate and the Lakelands: Greenville, Spartanburg, Anderson, Pickens, Laurens, Greenwood, and McCormick. We clear overgrown lots and wooded acreage, grade building pads and yards, install gravel driveways built to survive Carolina rain, and dig farm and fishing ponds built to hold water.
Every job is walked before it’s priced, priced before it’s started, and run by the owner from the first stake to the final grade. No subcontracted crews and no surprise charges. Just clean, precise site work, priced in writing before we start.
Heavy brush to whole wooded lots. Cleared, hauled, and left build-ready.

Pads, trenches, and site prep dug right the first time.
A proper base and a real crown, so the driveway survives Carolina rain.
Farm and fishing ponds with a compacted-clay dam that holds water.
Overgrown fields, pastures, and vacant lots cut back to usable ground.
Downed trees, limbs, and debris cleared out, and the ground repaired behind them.
We meet you on the property, hear the plan, and flag the problems that cost money before they cost you any.
A written scope and a real number. No surprises, no upsells.
The right machine for the job, and the owner in the seat.
Graded and tidy, ready for whatever comes next.

Family-owned, and the owner runs the machine on your property. You deal with Brian from the first stake to the final grade.
Cleared material is mulched, hauled off, or burned legally. Buried debris settles into sunken driveways and cracked slabs years later.
More than twenty years in heavy civil construction, from the Ravenel Bridge to the I-385 Gateway, brought home to driveways, home sites, and pastures.
We walk the land and quote what your property actually needs. A real number, not a guess over the phone.
Fully licensed and insured. The SC811 locates, county rules, and erosion controls are ours to handle, never your fines.
It depends on acreage, how thick the growth is, and how machines get in. That’s why we quote after a free site walk. You’ll have a written price for your land before anything starts.
Yes. Fully licensed and insured, and every job is run by the owner.
Your call: mulched in place, hauled off, or burned in place with the SC Forestry Commission notified. We price the options during the walk so nothing surprises you.
From a half-acre residential lot to full acreage. If a job isn’t a fit for our equipment, we’ll tell you on the walk and point you the right direction.
Sometimes. It depends on your county and what the land drains into. We work across seven counties in the Upstate and the Lakelands and will tell you exactly what your project needs.
Free written estimate. See the price before any work begins.
