Bush Hogging
We bush hog overgrown fields, pastures, vacant lots and pond banks with a brush cutter on a compact track loader. We do one-time cuts, and repeat cuts for HOAs and property managers.

Easley keeps growing. The Census Bureau counted 22,921 people here in 2020 and estimated 27,319 in 2025. A new house or driveway on a grown-up lot starts once the brush and small trees come off. Inside city limits, the city's development code also calls for approval before land is cleared.
Blackwell's Land Management handles land clearing in Easley for homeowners, landowners, builders and businesses. Easley is part of our service area, and Duncan sits at its center. The brush cutter takes down brush and saplings, and the grapple pulls small stumps and loads debris for haul off. See how our land clearing services work, then call or text (864) 747-5946.

Inside city limits, the city's code says yes. Easley adopted a Unified Development Ordinance in October 2025. It says land in the city may not be cleared of trees and shrubs without approval from the zoning administrator. The same code sets replacement rules when larger trees come down.
The stormwater rules posted on the city's website add another step. Under them, a development that disturbs 5,000 square feet or more needs a city stormwater permit. Development in a floodplain needs one too. The city's Planning and Development office answers how these rules fit your lot, and we point you there.
Outside city limits on the Pickens County side, the county's stormwater office sets the rules. Its permit guide calls for a simplified grading permit once land disturbance reaches a quarter acre. At one acre, the guide calls for a land disturbance permit. Farm and timber work are exempt, but the county still asks for erosion control.
The NRCS soil survey maps most of the ground in Easley as Cecil and Pacolet soils. Both are well drained, with red clay under the topsoil. Many slopes are mapped as eroded, so that clay sits close to the surface.
Freshly cleared clay on a slope washes when a hard rain hits it. The city's notes to contractors ask for silt fence and graveled drives to keep mud off the streets. Plan the land grading for right after the clearing, and get grass on the bare clay soon after that.
FEMA's flood maps show Brushy Creek and Georges Creek crossing the city. Low ground near a creek can sit in a mapped flood zone. The city itself put drainage system upgrades out for bids in 2026. When a yard holds water, our drainage and culvert work can regrade low spots or add a French drain.
By the city's 2022 plan, housing units rose 13.8 percent from 2010 to 2020. In 2024 the city council paused new subdivision and multifamily applications for six months to rework its rules. The new development code followed in 2025.
Building on a lot starts with clearing the footprint. Then we cut and fill the house pad to grade and compact it for the foundation crew.
The gravel driveway and the culvert pipe at the road can go in at the same time. Work in a city street's right of way needs an encroachment permit from the city's Public Works department. On a state road such as SC 93, SCDOT issues the driveway permit.
Easley is part of our service area, on its west side in Pickens County. That takes in Downtown Easley and the land along Brushy Creek Road, Pope Field Road, Powdersville Road and SC 93. It also takes in rural Easley addresses outside city limits.
We also work in nearby Powdersville and Piedmont, and across the Upstate about 50 miles around Duncan. Along with land clearing, we grade lots and put in gravel driveways here.
Every job starts with a look at the land. We check the growth and the way in for the machine, then put the quote in writing. Call or text (864) 747-5946 to set a time.

We build new gravel driveways and parking areas and regrade worn ones. The stone gets a crown so rain runs off to the sides.
