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.

Spartanburg is an older city. Census figures show more than half of its homes were built before 1970. On older lots, back corners and fence lines can grow up in brush and saplings. City rules also prohibit overgrown weeds and grass on residential lots.
Blackwell's Land Management clears land in Spartanburg as part of our Upstate service area. The brush cutter on a compact track loader takes down brush and small trees, and the grapple pulls small stumps. It is the same land clearing we do around Duncan, with haul off when you want it. Call or text (864) 747-5946, and we look at the land and put the quote in writing.

Hampton Heights was developed between 1890 and 1930, the city says. The smaller homes built there later sit on narrower lots. Beaumont grew up as a mill village around a textile mill that dates to 1890.
On a narrow city lot, a clearing job may be one grown-up back corner or one fence line. The way in for the machine is part of what we look at. If the lot is mostly tall grass and weeds, bush hogging may be all it needs.
Hampton Heights and Beaumont Mills are the city's two local historic districts. The Historic Architecture and Review Board reviews exterior changes and new construction there. Ask the city's Planning office whether your work needs that review.
The NRCS soil survey maps most of Spartanburg as Cecil soil mixed with urban land. Cecil is a sandy loam topsoil over firm red clay. On steeper slopes, the survey marks it moderately eroded, which means part of the topsoil has washed away.
The Spartanburg weather station averages about 50 inches of rain a year, according to NOAA. Lawson's Fork Creek runs through the east side of the city, and Fairforest Creek through the west side. The soil survey rates about 6 percent of the city's land as frequently flooded creek bottom.
The city's stormwater page says the city maintains drainage only in city-owned rights-of-way. A soggy yard on private land falls to the property owner. Swales and French drains are part of our drainage and culverts work. Land grading can slope the ground away from the house.
A Spartanburg mailing address can sit outside the city. Census figures show most of the land in the city's five main ZIP codes lies outside its limits. The city's permit page asks applicants to check that a property is inside the limits first.
Inside the limits, the city says any work on a residential property needs a residential building permit. Its Building Inspections office answers which permits fit the job, and we point you there. Outside the limits, Spartanburg County has its own land disturbance permit process.
Two state rules apply on both sides of the line. Clearing or grading that disturbs an acre or more needs a stormwater permit from SCDES, the state environmental agency. State law also calls for notice to South Carolina 811 at least three full working days before digging or grading.
City curbside pickup takes yard waste from routine pruning, with limbs up to 6 feet long and 6 inches thick. The city leaves out stumps, dirt, land-clearing debris and waste from a contractor.
The city also asks property owners to keep lots clear of debris and dead vegetation. On a city lot, the grapple loads the cut brush and pulled stumps for haul off. On acreage, the brush can be piled where you want it instead.

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.
