What we do

Eight services. One crew.
The whole job, start to finish.

Whether it's a half-acre lot for a new build, a long red-clay driveway that needs grading after the rainy season, or a 40-foot pine looming over the porch — we run our own equipment, we know the Upstate, and we don't sub the work out.

How a clearing day works

Five steps. No surprises.
You'll know what's coming.

Every property's different, but the rhythm of a clearing day is the same. Here's what to expect when our trucks roll up your driveway.

01

Walk the property

We meet you on-site, look at every line, every tree, every soft spot. Free, no obligation. Usually within three days of your call.

02

Mark and protect

Flag what stays. Flag what goes. Mark septic, lines, well heads, irrigation. Lay down protection on driveways and lawn we'll cross.

03

Mulch and cut

Forestry mulcher chews brush and small trees down to chip. Bigger trees come down with the climber and the chainsaw, sectioned in.

04

Grade and finish

Stumps ground out, holes filled, dirt pulled flat. Skid steer and box blade smooth the surface so water runs the right direction.

05

Haul and clean

Logs out, debris out, mulch spread or trucked. You walk the cleaned property with us before we leave and sign off.

Our iron

The right machine
for the right job.

We own and run our own equipment — so there's no waiting on a rental yard, no surprise day-rates passed to you, and no operator we just met yesterday touching your property.

Forestry Mulcher

Tracked carrier with a high-flow drum head. Eats brush, briars, and trees up to 8" in diameter — turns standing forest into a flat mulch carpet in a single pass.

Mini Excavator

Compact enough to fit through a 6-foot gate, strong enough to dig footings, trenches, and stump roots. Gets us into tight spots where the big iron can't go.

What we cut through

Pickens County terrain
doesn't scare us.

Twenty years in the Upstate has shown us pretty much every kind of bramble, hardwood, stump, and red-clay slope this side of the Saluda. Bring it.

Common questions

What folks ask
before they call.

If something here doesn't cover it, just call. Most days you'll get a person, not a recording, between 6 AM and 6 PM.

Yes, on every job. We come walk the property with you, look at access, slope, what's coming down and what's staying, then write you a firm number. No fee, no obligation, usually within three business days of your call.

Most Pickens County mulching jobs land between $1,800 and $3,000 per acre, depending on density, tree size, and slope. Heavy hardwood, steep grade, or lots of large stumps can push that higher. Use the estimator above for a starting range, then we'll firm it up on-site.

For most residential clearing on your own land, no. Larger jobs (over an acre disturbed near waterways, or anything near a lake buffer like Keowee or Hartwell) may need a stormwater or DHEC permit. We've been through it many times — we'll tell you on the walk-through if anything is required and can help you sort it.

Three options. We can mulch and leave it spread on-site (cheapest, also feeds the soil). We can pile and burn if conditions allow. Or we can truck it all off — typically $700–$1,500 added depending on volume and distance.

A typical one-acre mulching pass is one day. Two to three acres usually finishes in a week. Heavy clearing with tree removal and grading runs longer — we'll give you a calendar window when we quote, not just a day count.

Fully. General liability and workers' comp. We'll send a Certificate of Insurance to you, your builder, or your HOA before we start work — just ask.

Check or cash, no fee. Card with a small processing charge. For larger projects we'll typically take a small deposit at start and the balance at walk-through after completion.
