At the foot of Table Rock, land work that respects steep ground and red clay.
Pickens sits where the Upstate meets the Blue Ridge, with Table Rock standing over town. We work the acreage tracts along US-178 toward the mountains, out Walhalla Highway past the Wednesday flea markets, and down the Highway 8 corridor toward Easley. The county is growing, but most land here is still rural — overgrown pasture, wooded lots, homesites without a driveway yet. Red clay on escarpment slopes makes grading and drainage the first problem to solve. The owner walks every site, quotes it in writing, and treats your land like his own.
Heavy brush to whole wooded lots — cleared, hauled, and left build-ready.

Laser-checked levels and slopes that drain the way they should.
Pads, trenches, and site prep dug right the first time.
Proper base, proper crown — driveways that survive Carolina rain.
Farm and fishing ponds dug, dammed, and built to hold water.
Only if you disturb an acre or more — or less, if the work is part of a larger development plan. At one to two acres the state requires a simplified stormwater and sediment control plan; over two acres you need a comprehensive SWPPP prepared by a licensed South Carolina professional. Most single-homesite clearing stays under those thresholds, but we confirm before we cut.
Yes — steep-ground driveways are a grading and drainage problem first, and that is the work we do. North of town toward Highway 11, the Blue Ridge Escarpment drops roughly two thousand vertical feet within a mile or two, so lots go from gentle to steep fast. On that ground a driveway lives or dies on how water gets broken up and carried off the slope, and red clay makes erosion control part of the job, not an add-on.
