Excavation and Land Clearing · the Lowcountry
Clearing a lot means dealing with trees, water and soil all at once. Live oaks get real legal protection here, and towns, the county and many HOAs want approval before a tree comes down. Rural Jasper County lots outside public water and sewer need room for a well and a septic system, and low ground anywhere holds water after heavy rain. Fast growth around Hardeeville and the rest of Jasper County keeps site crews busy.
Ask who is getting the tree approvals and permits, and how the contractor will handle drainage and erosion while the site is open. Wade Banks lays out the tree rules before you cut.
Stumps and roots left in the ground rot, and the soil over them settles. I've seen slabs and driveways crack over buried stumps years later. Find out what gets hauled off and what gets buried.
