Land work where the Swamp Rabbit Trail town meets the Blue Ridge foothills.
“Land clearing” covers two different jobs, and knowing which one your property needs is where a good quote starts. Clearing removes what’s above the ground — brush, saplings, trees. Grubbing goes further and pulls the stumps, roots, and buried debris out below grade, and only grubbed ground is ready to build on. So we scope by zone: mulch the back acreage you want open, grub the pad where the house is going.
The cheap shortcut in this trade is burying debris in a pit on site — it decays and settles for years, and turns into sunken driveways and cracked slabs long after the contractor is gone. We never bury debris. It’s mulched into the land, hauled off, or burned legally with the SC Forestry Commission notified. The compliance is ours to carry too: SC811 utility locates before any ground opens, county land-disturbance rules, erosion controls. You never hold the fines.
We walk the property with you and flag what stays and what goes — keep-trees get marked and protected before any machine arrives.
Brush and trees come out; where you’re building, stumps and roots get grubbed out below grade so nothing settles under your slab.
Mulched into the land, hauled off, or burned with the SC Forestry Commission notified — never buried on site.
Rough-graded, erosion controls in place, ready for the pad, driveway, or pasture you cleared it for.
It depends on acreage, how dense the growth is, and how machines get onto the property. That’s why every land clearing job starts with a free site walk — you get a real written number for your land, not a guess over the phone.
Yes. Selective clearing is often the right call — we remove the undergrowth, saplings, and problem trees while protecting the hardwoods that give a property its character.
On unincorporated Greenville County land, yes — once you disturb an acre or more. That triggers a county Land Disturbance permit plus a Notice of Intent to the state under the Construction General Permit, and jobs at that size also need a tree planting and protection plan under the county tree ordinance. Smaller jobs still have to follow the county's residential erosion and sediment-control standards, so stabilization is part of the work at any size.
