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.

Greer more than doubled between the 2000 and 2020 censuses, from 16,843 people to 35,308. New streets now run beside lots and back acres that grew up in briars and saplings. Land clearing in Greer often starts with one of those pieces of ground. The landowner wants it opened up for a new house or a shop.
Blackwell's Land Management serves Greer as part of our service area, and Duncan sits at its center. For land clearing across the Upstate, we run a brush cutter and a grapple on a compact track loader. The brush cutter takes down brush, briars, saplings and small trees, and the grapple pulls small stumps. Call or text (864) 747-5946, and we will look at the land and put the quote in writing.

Greer kept growing after 2020. The Census Bureau's estimate for July 2025 is 50,007 people. By its housing estimates, more than half of Greer's homes were built in 2000 or later. About one in four dates to before 1980.
On a new house lot, we clear the footprint and the path for the drive. Then the house pad is cut and filled to grade and compacted for the foundation crew. Older lots often need less, like a fence line gone to briars or a back corner full of saplings.
Open pasture is a different job. When the growth is mostly tall grass and briars, bush hogging may be all it needs. Land clearing comes in once saplings and small trees take hold.
More than half of the land inside Greer's city limits is Cecil soil in the NRCS soil survey. Cecil has a sandy loam surface over red clay. On slopes the survey marks as eroded, that clay sits closer to the surface.
The South Tyger River and the Enoree River both cross the city limits. FEMA's flood map shows flood zones along both rivers and along creeks such as Frohawk Creek and Beaverdam Creek. In the soil survey, some creek bottoms are Toccoa or Chewacla soils marked frequently flooded.
NOAA's weather station at the Greenville-Spartanburg airport sits about four miles south of downtown Greer. Its 1991 to 2020 normals come to about 50 inches of rain a year. Packed clay takes water in slowly, so low spots on a graded lot can hold it. We regrade those spots and put in drainage and culverts where grade alone will not move the water.
Greer CPW, the Greer Commission of Public Works, owns and runs Lake Robinson and Lake Cunningham. Both lakes supply its drinking water. Lake Robinson covers about 800 acres and Lake Cunningham about 200. The South Tyger River feeds both.
On a lot that backs up to either lake, the property line stops short of the water. CPW's rules set that line at the 900 foot elevation on Lake Robinson and 850 feet on Lake Cunningham. The strip between the line and the water is CPW land.
The rules bar removing trees or growth from that strip without the Lake Warden's approval. They also bar leaving tree limbs or stumps on CPW land or in the water. On a lakeside lot, we want your line marked first, and the clearing stays on your side of it.
Greer sits in two counties. The 2020 Census counted 25,587 residents in the Greenville County part and 9,721 in the Spartanburg County part. Inside the city limits, the City of Greer's offices handle permits on both sides of the county line.
The city's Planning and Development Department issues permits. Its permit page lists demolition, the removal of a structure, among the work that needs one. Before it issues a permit, the department may weigh floodplain location and road frontage. The Engineering Department reviews development plans against the city's stormwater rules.
Outside the city limits, the rules of Greenville County or Spartanburg County apply, whichever side the lot is on. The permit office answers what your lot needs, and we point you there.

We level yards and lots and fill the low spots that hold water. Finish grading with a smooth bucket leaves the ground ready for seed or sod.

We build house pads and building pads for new homes, garages, barns and shops around Duncan. The footprint is cleared, then the pad is cut and filled to grade and compacted for the foundation crew.

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

We fix yards and lots that hold water after a rain. A French drain or a regraded slope moves the water off, and culvert pipe carries it under the drive.

We build mulch beds and lay sod on yards around Duncan and the Upstate. Shrubs, bed edging, stone borders and cleanups after clearing or grading are part of the work too.
