On the old Cherokee Path six miles from Keowee: land work for foothills and lakefront.
Six Mile is a small town with two kinds of land work. Down Keowee Baptist Church Road past Mile Creek Park, steep Lake Keowee lots are being cleared and cut for new waterfront builds. Around town, along Main Street, Walhalla Highway, and Liberty Highway, it's rural acreage and small-subdivision lots under Sixmile Mountain that need clearing, pads, and gravel drives. The ground is Cecil red clay at a thousand feet, and it holds water when grading is done wrong. Lakefront or foothills, the owner walks the site first and the price follows in writing.
Heavy brush to whole wooded lots. Cleared, hauled, and left build-ready.

Not without written approval from Duke Energy. Land inside Duke's project boundary on Lake Keowee has to stay vegetated, and clearing or cutting trees, shrubs, or other vegetation inside that boundary requires prior written approval from Duke Energy Lake Services. Replanting can be required if it's done wrong. We know where the buffer line sits and plan lakefront clearing around it.
For most small jobs, no. Pickens County requires a land disturbance permit when grading disturbs an acre or more, or smaller sites that are part of a larger development plan. That said, smaller driveway and grading work on slopes or near drainage features can need a small land disturbance permit, and around here sloped ground is common. We check what your site needs before work begins.
Call or request a free site walk. We meet you on the property, look at the actual ground, and give you a written scope and price on the spot.
Your written quote covers everything — we price the whole job up front after the site walk, so there are no travel surprises or add-ons later.
