Grading and land work at the five-way crossroads — Woodruff, Batesville, and Bennetts Bridge roads.
Five Forks is named for the crossroads of Woodruff, Batesville, Scuffletown, Bennetts Bridge, and Five Forks roads — farmland into the early 1990s, now one of Greenville County's most sought-after suburbs. We work established neighborhoods like Kilgore Farms, Gilder Creek Farm, and Five Forks Plantation, plus the wooded parcels at the edges where old pasture is still converting. The Cecil red clay packs hard and sheds water when graded wrong, so grading is a drainage job as much as a dirt job. Brian walks it himself, quotes it in writing, and treats it like his own.
Greenville County, not Simpsonville. Five Forks is unincorporated, so the county's Land Development office handles it: disturbing an acre or more, or increasing peak runoff by more than one cubic foot per second, triggers a county Land Disturbance permit, and stormwater-quality rules start at 10,000 square feet of disturbance. Erosion and sediment controls are required on any land-disturbing work, and many neighborhoods here also have HOA covenants worth checking before clearing tree lines or changing grades near property lines.
It can. Much of Five Forks drains to Gilder Creek, and Greenville County requires stormwater design in that watershed to handle the 50-year critical storm instead of the standard 25-year storm — a real difference for detention and drainage work near the creek. On top of that, the Cecil red clay here compacts easily, barely recovers from compaction, and turns nearly impermeable if worked wet — so we grade at the right moisture and loosen compacted subgrade before topsoil or gravel goes down.
