Serving Berea's rolling ground between the Saluda River and Paris Mountain.
Berea started as a farming community between the Saluda River and Paris Mountain and turned into one of Greenville's first commuter suburbs in the 1950s. Today infill like Lenhardt Townes and Lakeview at Berea off White Horse Road is squeezing new homes onto old Berea land, beside established yards along Cedar Lane Road and rural-edge parcels that still need clearing. The rolling ground carries Cecil red clay that compacts hard and turns yards to soup after careless grading. The owner walks the property himself, and the price you get is on paper before work starts.
Heavy brush to whole wooded lots. Cleared, hauled, and left build-ready.

Only once the job gets big. Greenville County requires a land disturbance permit with a stormwater plan at one acre or more of disturbance, and projects between one and two acres can qualify for a simplified plan. Most single-yard regrades and driveway jobs fall below that line, but larger clearing on Berea's rural edges can cross it. We sort that out before work starts.
Usually, yes, with grading. The standard fix on this red clay is regrading for positive fall away from the house (roughly six inches of drop over the first ten feet) into a swale that carries water off the lot. Berea's clay absorbs water slowly, so when new construction changes what flows onto an older yard, the yard needs its own path for that water to leave.
Custom Cut Land Works serves Berea and the surrounding Greenville County communities with owner-run land clearing, grading, and site prep. Family-owned, licensed, and insured.
