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.

Simpsonville keeps growing: the Census counted 23,354 people here in 2020, and its 2025 estimate is 28,459. Almost half the homes in the city went up in 2000 or later. Undeveloped lots and back acres near the edges still grow up thick in briars and saplings. Before anything gets built on them, that growth has to come off.
Blackwell's Land Management clears land and grades lots for homeowners, landowners, builders and businesses. Duncan sits at the center of our service area, and Simpsonville is part of it. In Simpsonville, we take on land clearing for lots and acreage, plus bush hogging on fields and pond banks. Call or text (864) 747-5946, and we will look at the land and put the quote in writing.

A Simpsonville address does not always sit inside the city limits. The 29680 and 29681 ZIP codes reach well past them into Greenville County. Inside the limits, the city zoning ordinance has rules for trees and creeks. Outside them, Greenville County rules apply.
The city requires a Tree Removal Permit to take down any tree 12 inches or more across at chest height. The rule holds for a sick tree too, and the city's Planning Director reviews each one. Our land clearing takes brush, briars, saplings and small trees, and the grapple pulls small stumps. Big trees are a job for a tree service.
Creeks have a rule of their own. The ordinance keeps a buffer of 15 feet or more along streams, and the plants in it stay. If your lot backs up to a creek, ask the city planning office before any clearing near the bank.
About half the land in the city limits is Cecil sandy loam, per the NRCS soil survey. Cecil soils have a sandy loam surface over red clay. That ground has gentle slopes of 2 to 10 percent.
Clearing leaves bare ground, and bare clay washes where rain runs across it. Land grading after the clearing shapes the lot so the water goes where you want it.
The railroad tracks through town split two watersheds, per the city's 2040 plan. West of the tracks, Rocky Creek carries most of the city's water to the Reedy River. East of them, Durbin and Horsepen Creeks drain to the Enoree River. FEMA maps flood zones along Rocky, Durbin, Horsepen and Graze Creeks inside the city.
The city's storm water policy answers that. The city maintains drainage only inside city street rights of way. Along state roads, SCDOT, the state transportation department, maintains the drainage in the right of way.
On private land, the policy puts storm drainage problems on the property owner. When the problem sits in a common area an HOA manages, the HOA is responsible. Greenville County enforces the storm water program inside the city.
Before you change how water drains, the city says to check with Greenville County Land Development. Then our drainage and culvert work takes over. We regrade low spots, shape swales, lay French drains and set culvert pipe.
The city's 2040 plan says new commercial corridors are forming along West Georgia Road and Harrison Bridge Road. Land that waits on a build grows up in the meantime. The brush cutter takes down tall grass, weeds, briars and saplings. Many subdivisions here also have retention ponds, and we bush hog those banks too.
A house site or a shop on acreage needs a way in from the road. We build gravel driveways on acreage, with culvert pipe where the drive crosses a ditch. The city's residential guide lists a right-of-way permit for work next to a public road. On a state road, SCDOT is the office to ask.

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