Clearing, grading, and gravel for the festival town at the end of the Golden Strip.
Excavation decides whether everything above it stays level and dry. The dig, the trenches, the backfill — none of it shows in the finished photos, and all of it shows up three years later if it was done cheap. The classic hidden defect is loose backfill: it settles along every trench and foundation edge, cracking walks and sinking driveways. Our backfill goes in as thin, compacted lifts as standard practice — every trench, every time.
Every dig starts legally: SC811 locates filed and the three-business-day wait respected before a bucket touches ground. And because Upstate lots sit on dense red clay — sometimes rock — discovery conditions go in writing before work starts, so if the ground surprises us, the price doesn’t surprise you.
SC811 tickets filed, utilities marked, boundaries confirmed — before anything opens.
Pads, footings, and trenches cut to depth; topsoil stripped and stockpiled for your final landscape, never buried.
Thin layers, compacted each pass — the difference between a trench line you forget and one you re-level for years.
Spoils hauled or graded out, erosion controls set, site left ready for the next step.
Usually, yes. Compact excavators fit through standard gates and work in tight residential spaces — it’s exactly what they’re built for. We confirm access on the site walk.
Residential and small commercial site work: building pads, footings, stump and rock removal, trenching for water and drainage lines, and cutting driveways into sloped ground.
It depends on where the property sits. Inside Fountain Inn city limits, the city's Planning and Development office governs land work; on unincorporated Greenville County land nearby, the county's land disturbance permit applies at one acre or more of disturbance. With the city annexing land as it grows, plenty of properties sit close to that line — we check before the work is scoped.
