Dirt Work in Fort Mill
Fort Mill has changed a lot since we started. Pastures and hardwood stands have turned into subdivisions, and a lot of the work we do now is helping folks on both sides of that change: homeowners in newer neighborhoods fighting water that sits in the backyard, and landowners on the older tracts outside town who need a homesite cleared, a pad built, or a long gravel drive put in.
The ground here is mostly red clay, and red clay doesn't drain on its own. When a lot is graded fast and seeded, the low spots show up after the first hard rain. Most of our Fort Mill drainage calls come down to getting the slope right and giving the water a path to somewhere it can go.
What We Do in Fort Mill
- Lot and homesite clearing for new builds and additions on wooded parcels.
- Yard regrading for backyards that hold water or slope toward the house.
- French drains and pipe work to move water away from foundations and patios.
- Gravel driveways built with a real base so they don't rut or wash.
- Septic systems for properties outside the sewer lines.
