Most of what we do falls into one of two buckets: getting things off of a piece of property, and getting the ground underneath ready to use.
Most of what we do falls into one of two buckets: getting things off of a piece of property, and getting the ground underneath ready to use. Sometimes a job is one service. More often it is three or four that run together — trees down, stumps out, brush mulched, dirt smoothed back over. We are set up to do the whole sequence with the same crew so you are not coordinating three companies and three schedules.
We work for homeowners, farms and smaller commercial customers across Roebuck, Spartanburg and the surrounding Upstate. Estimates are free, and if a job is not a good fit for us we will tell you that instead of quoting it high.
Taking a wooded or overgrown piece of property down to open, usable ground. This is the service most people call us about first — a lot that needs to become a building site, a field that has grown up over a few seasons, or acreage a new owner wants opened back up. We drop and remove the material, and depending on the job we either chip it, grind it on site or haul it out in dump trucks.
Pairs well with: clearing rarely stops at clearing. Stumps left behind become stump removal, the underbrush along the edges is often handled faster with forestry mulching, and once the ground is open, grading and site prep is what makes it buildable.
Grinding standing brush and small trees into mulch right where they stand, in a single pass, and leaving that mulch on the ground as cover. There is no burn pile, no debris to haul and far less disturbance to the soil than conventional clearing. It is a good fit for overgrown understory, trail and fence line work, thinning around a homesite, and property you want opened up without stripping it bare.
Pairs well with: mulching handles the small material, so it is often run alongside land clearing on the same property, with the mulcher taking the brush and the larger stems going to the excavator. It is also the workhorse behind most of our right-of-way clearing, and it pairs with tree services when there are a handful of big trees standing in an otherwise brushy area.
Getting stumps and root balls out of the ground so the area can be mowed, graded or built on. Whether a stump gets ground down or dug out depends on what happens to that spot afterward — grinding is enough for a lawn, and a stump under a future driveway or slab usually needs to come out entirely. Stump excavation is one of the services the company was built around, and it is a large part of what we do week to week.
Pairs well with: it is the natural follow-up to tree services, since a removed tree leaves a stump. Once the stump is out you have a hole, which is why it runs directly into grading and site prep, and it is a standard step in nearly every land clearing job we do.
Digging, moving and placing dirt. Trenching, footings and pads, driveway cuts, ponds, and hauling material in or out with our own trucks. Excavation is where the work moves from removing what is on top of the property to shaping the property itself.
Pairs well with: excavation and grading and site prep are close to inseparable — you dig, then you smooth and slope what you dug. Excavation also finishes what stump removal starts on larger root systems, and it follows land clearing once the property is open enough to get equipment where it needs to be.
Rough grading to get a property sitting the way it needs to sit: building pads, driveways and lanes, slopes that send water where it should go, and cleaning up ground that has been torn up by clearing or stump work. On a recent job we pulled stumps for a customer, graded the area back out and had topsoil delivered so grass could go straight in. That is a typical sequence for us.
Pairs well with: this is almost always the last step. It follows land clearing, stump removal and excavation, and it is the service that makes the difference between a lot that has been cleared and a lot that is actually ready to use.
Cutting new right-of-ways and keeping existing ones open. We have done a fair amount of this, including sewer right-of-ways, and it is work we are set up for — long, narrow corridors where access is tight and the material has to be dealt with as you go rather than stockpiled. It covers both the initial cut and the maintenance passes that keep a corridor from growing back in.
Pairs well with: forestry mulching does most of the heavy lifting on corridor work, tree services handles the larger timber along the edges, and where a right-of-way needs to carry equipment or drain properly it turns into grading and site prep.
Tree removal and related tree work. Michael has been doing this in the Upstate for about twenty-five years, and while Eastern Land Solutions is not a tree company, the trees do not stop existing just because the job is called something else. If your property has trees that need to come down as part of clearing, grading or right-of-way work, we can handle them without bringing another outfit in.
Pairs well with: a tree that comes down leaves a stump, so this runs into stump removal more often than not. On wooded property, tree work is the opening move for land clearing, and along corridors it goes hand in hand with right-of-way clearing.
Roebuck is home base, and we cover Spartanburg County, Laurens County, much of Greenville County and the northern part of Anderson County from there — as far west as Easley and as far northeast as Gaffney. We do not work in North Carolina. The service areas page has the full list.
Most people are not, and that is fine. Describe the property and what you want to be able to do with it when we are finished, and we will tell you what the job actually involves. That conversation is free and so is the estimate.
