Duncan is building fast — 400-plus new homes coming, one exit from BMW.
Duncan is the center of Spartanburg County's west-side boom — hundreds of new homes on the way, industry filling in along Highway 290, and subdivisions like River Falls Plantation and Rogers Mill around the old Main Street core. Between them, rural parcels and farms need clearing, grading, and gravel drives before they're built on. Duncan sits between the Middle Tyger and South Tyger rivers, and fast construction on red clay leaves drainage problems that show up one storm later. The owner walks the site, prices it in writing, and treats your land like his own.
Yes, plan on paperwork even for a small job — Spartanburg County requires a land-disturbance permit application for sites under one acre, and state stormwater coverage starts at one acre disturbed. Many Duncan-area subdivisions also have HOAs, so driveway extensions, drainage changes, or clearing may need sign-off under your covenants before the county side starts. We sort both out up front.
Because builder mass grading compacts the Cecil clay under these subdivisions until water can barely soak in — compacted clay here infiltrates only a few hundredths of an inch per hour. Standing water and failed swales are common follow-up work one storm after closing. The fix is regrading for positive drainage and rebuilding the swales so water moves where it's supposed to go instead of sitting against the house.
Yes. From a single overgrown backyard lot to full acreage, if it’s a fit for our equipment we’ll take it — and if it isn’t, we’ll tell you on the walk and point you the right direction.
