Before you can pour a foundation, you need a clean lot. A&S Brushworks handles the clearing and site preparation that gets your property ready for builders, graders, and construction crews. We work with homeowners building custom homes, developers opening new subdivisions, and commercial contractors preparing building pads throughout Rock Hill, SC and the Greater Charlotte area.
Our forestry mulching approach means your lot is cleared faster and with less ground disturbance than traditional dozer clearing. No debris hauling, no burn piles, and your topsoil stays intact until the grading crew is ready to work.
Lot clearing for new home construction
You have closed on a wooded lot and your builder needs it cleared before breaking ground. We clear the building footprint, driveway path, septic field area, and any utility runs your builder specifies. We keep the trees you have marked for preservation and remove everything else.
Most residential homesites in the Rock Hill area are under an acre. Jobs of that size typically take one day to clear and mulch. Your builder can move in the following week to start grading and foundation work.
Commercial site preparation
Commercial construction projects have tight timelines. We understand that clearing delays push back every trade that follows. We schedule commercial site prep work to align with your project timeline and can mobilize quickly when you need us.
Whether it is a retail pad, office building, storage facility, or multi-family development, we clear the vegetation so your grading contractor has a clean surface to work with. We handle everything from small half-acre pads to larger multi-acre commercial sites.
Working with builders and contractors
We work directly with builders, general contractors, and developers throughout York County and the Charlotte metro. We are comfortable reading site plans, following tree save markings, and coordinating with your other subcontractors on scheduling.
If you are a builder who regularly needs lot clearing, we offer competitive pricing for repeat work. Call Corey at (336) 467-4572 to discuss your upcoming projects.
Stump grinding and grade-ready finish
Our forestry mulcher grinds stumps below grade as part of the standard clearing process. For construction sites that need stumps ground deeper — under the building footprint or utility trenches, for example — we can accommodate that.
After clearing and stump grinding, the surface is covered with a layer of mulch and is ready for your grading contractor. For larger land clearing projects that include site prep, we can discuss the full scope during your free estimate.
Site prep pricing
Residential lot clearing and site prep in the Rock Hill and Charlotte area typically runs $1,500 to $5,000 per acre. A standard half-acre homesite with moderate vegetation falls in the $1,500 to $3,000 range. Heavily wooded lots, steep terrain, and commercial sites requiring extra stump work will be higher. Free on-site estimates for every job.
Site prep FAQs
We clear all vegetation — trees, brush, stumps, and undergrowth — from your build area using forestry mulching. Stumps are ground below grade. Depending on the job, we can also clear driveways, septic field areas, and utility runs. The result is a clean, debris-free surface ready for grading or foundation work.
