Land Clearing & Lot Preparation

Our land clearing services are designed to transform raw or overgrown property into usable, build-ready sites. Whether you are preparing a residential lot, opening up land for development, or improving access and usability, we handle the clearing and ground preparation needed to move your project forward. Every site is evaluated carefully to ensure proper planning, efficient execution, and minimal disruption to surrounding areas.

We provide full lot clearing and selective clearing services that align with project goals, timelines, and budgets. Our experience working throughout Spartanburg County allows us to anticipate local soil conditions, drainage challenges, and grading requirements before work begins.

Grading, Land Leveling & Drainage Control

Proper grading is one of the most critical steps in site preparation. Poorly graded land can lead to drainage problems, erosion, foundation failure, and costly repairs. SMS Dirt Work specializes in precision grading and land leveling to ensure water flows correctly and structures are supported long-term.

We shape land to meet the needs of residential, commercial, and agricultural projects, focusing on elevation control, slope management, and surface stability. Our grading services support home foundations, driveways, building pads, parking areas, and development sites across Spartanburg, Boiling Springs, Duncan, and Inman.

Understanding the unique soil mixtures and topography of the Upstate allows us to manage dirt properly, compact surfaces effectively, and prepare land that performs as intended long after construction begins.

Excavation & Demolition Grading

SMS Dirt Work also provides excavation support and demolition grading services for new construction and redevelopment projects. After demolition or site changes, land must be regraded and reshaped correctly to meet engineering and construction standards. We handle dirt movement, elevation adjustments, and final grading to ensure sites are safe, accessible, and construction-ready.



Our excavation-related services are ideal for foundation preparation, utility access, site reconfiguration, and large-scale land reshaping. We work efficiently while maintaining accuracy and control throughout the process.

Residential & Commercial Dirt Work You Can Trust

We proudly serve both homeowners and developers with the same level of professionalism and care. Homeowners rely on us for affordable, well-planned land preparation that supports future improvements, while commercial clients value our business-minded approach, efficiency, and understanding of construction timelines.
