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.

"Our experience What a nightmare This company was to deal with. Every step had issues from the wrong shape of the pool to the driveway that was majorly damaged and not fixed. They brought dirt in with broken glass and garbage in. We had to physically pick up the glass and trash so we could have the new sod. They left 6 feet of dirt in the yard that was starting to slide in the water. The project manager said that he wasn’t a project manager, so dealing with him was horrible. He was so rude all the time. He had no idea of what was happening. The workers would ask my husband what they were supposed to do and luckily he could communicate in Spanish. We managed the workers ourselves. What a nightmare and not worth it."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Excavation is priced in cubic yards, so you’ll need to find the volume of the area in order to calculate costs. Multiply the length, width, and proposed depth of your excavation site, then convert it into yards to get the volume. Multiply this figure by the price per cubic yard.

Most homeowners can measure by hand to get a rough estimate, even if it’s tedious. You may want to pull out a tape measure or use a string to help mark the area.

Directional drilling is complex and requires training to use the advanced machinery. It can be challenging to monitor the position of the drill since there’s no direct line of sight. Directional drilling can also be more expensive with a cost of $10 to $30 per linear foot compared to $5 to $12 per linear foot for trenching. 

A walk-behind trencher can cut through roots as long as they’re not too thick, making a project much easier than digging with a shovel and other hand tools. Assess your terrain and the number of trees in the surrounding area to determine if a walk-behind trencher will ease the job. Digging a trench by hand is much more time-consuming and labor-intensive. 

It’s possible to transplant trees as tall as 50 feet when an experienced tree planting service uses the right equipment. However, a tree with a trunk larger than two or three inches in diameter needs to be handled by a professional in order to yield successful transplanting results. Consulting a tree planting professional is the best way to tell if your large tree can be safely transplanted.

Yes, trenchers can go through gravel. Gravel is made up of smaller, softer rocks that certain trenchers are able to cut through. Just be sure to use a rock wheel trencher or chain trencher, both of which are made to cut through rocky landscapes and gravel pathways without dulling the teeth or chain.
