Pickens County Land Work in Central, from the Depot to the New Builds
Central was incorporated as a town on March 17, 1875, and took its name from its spot on the railroad line rather than any center of the state. The early station was a real working hub, with repair shops, a roundhouse, a hotel, and quarters for the telegraph operators and dispatchers who kept the line moving. When the railroad slowed, the Issaqueena Mill textile operation carried the town into the new century. You can still read that history downtown, where the 1893 Queen Anne Morgan House on Church Street now holds the Central History Museum, and where Freedom's Hill Church, an antebellum Wesleyan abolitionist congregation, was moved to the Southern Wesleyan University campus and marked on the South Carolina National Heritage Corridor. Every summer the town gathers for its Independence Day celebration, with a Patriotic Bike Parade and a Blackberry Pie Contest. It is the hometown of Senator Lindsey Graham and of DeAndre Hopkins, who played at D.W. Daniel High School.
Custom Cut Land Works is a family company, and the work in Central runs the full range: the older homes near downtown, the pastures and wooded lots, and the new builds going up at the edges of town. Our services cover clearing, grading and excavation, plus gravel driveways, bush hogging, and storm and tree cleanup. We are licensed and insured, and we were raised to believe that land gives back when you look after it, so we treat your property the way we would treat our own. Our boys are growing up around this work. If you've got land that needs a plan, call and we'll walk it with you.
