Granny Creek Mulching helps homeowners, homesteads, farms, and rural properties reclaim overgrown land quickly and safely. We specialize in forestry mulching (brush, vines, saplings), fence-line and property-line clearing, pasture/field reclamation (bush-hogging), right-of-way sight-lines, trail creation/widening, and understory thinning for fire-wise spacing. Our drum mulcher on a compact track loader shreds vegetation in place—leaving a uniform mulch layer that reduces erosion and suppresses regrowth. Veteran-owned and focused on small-to-mid acreage (½–10 acres). We provide clear estimates, job minimums, and straightforward communication. Mulch remains on site; we do not haul debris. Based in Westville, SC and serving a 30-mile radius across Kershaw and nearby parts of Lancaster, Chesterfield, Lee, Sumter, Richland, and Fairfield counties. Tell us your goal; we’ll recommend the safest, most efficient plan to get it done.

"I loved that, with Hyatt, expectations were met and there was absolutely no drama. (a good thing and, sadly, more rare when working with any contractor these days). At the initial consultation, I asked for a phased plan, since I would not be able to do everything all at once. What I got was exactly what I asked for and once we broke down the scope of work, that's precisely what was performed. The guys were on time, friendly and focused. They completed their work, cleaned up and left. Expectations matched perfectly. I'll be calling on them again in the near future."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Tree experts don’t advise against digging through tree roots, but instead encourage caution and consultation with a local arborist to make sure you don’t damage the tree’s structure or interrupt its water or nutrient intake. An arborist can recommend specific practices when digging and help prune the roots or dig a trench for utilities with a tool that can remove soil without touching the tree’s roots.

Digging a well can cost between $20 and $25,000, depending on your needs. If you’re looking to dig a well yourself, all you need is a shovel. If you’re looking to have a well drilled by a professional, you can expect to pay around $15 to $30 per foot. The total cost of drilling a well will average to $5,500.

As a general rule, the protected area should be about 1½ times as wide as the canopy of the tree’s leaves. This digging measurement can vary by tree species and the age of the tree. Of course, that can be a lot of fencing for larger trees, which is why our first step is about making difficult decisions on which trees to save.

A perc test takes an average of around two hours, but it can range from one hour up to around six hours. Perc tests that require wider or deeper holes and those that require multiple holes dug throughout your property will take longer because there’s more excavation involved. The actual filling of the hole and monitoring to gauge the rate of percolation should take under an hour per hole.

How deep your septic system needs to be into the ground depends on several factors. In extremely cold environments, the tank needs to rest below the maximum frost line, which can be up to six or eight feet deep. The standard burying depth for most systems is between a few inches and four feet below ground level. Depth can also depend on the slope of the landscaping and other property variables.
