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

Most municipalities require excavation permits for any significant digging, especially if the excavation affects utilities or public property. However, permits for excavation depend on your local government and the scope of the project. Hire an experienced contractor for your excavation job so that they can be the ones to deal with permitting, not you. 

The cost to drill a well ranges, but for a well that’s roughly 150 feet deep, you could spend approximately $5,500. However, prices can fluctuate substantially due to factors like geological conditions, local regulations, and variations in drilling methods. For a more precise quote tailored to your location, research local well-drilling professionals in your area.

Yes, chipmunk holes may have two or more entrances. Chipmunks can create an entire network of burrows. Having multiple entrances makes it easier for them when trying to escape from a predator, such as a snake, or if an entrance collapses due to flooding. Each entrance leads to the nesting chamber underground, which is where the chipmunk spends the majority of its time sleeping.

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.

Almost any kind of home can have a wine cellar or cabinet installed. You’ll need an area where a concrete floor can be put in, along with the necessary insulation, climate control, and ventilation systems. If you think of yourself as an aspiring sommelier, an underground wine cellar may be ideal, but it will cost significantly more. 

What you choose to install really depends on your budget and how many bottles you’re looking to store.
