Expert Heavy Equipment Operation in Seneca, SC

Heavy equipment operation in Six Mile, SC takes real skill. Pickens County sits at roughly 1,000 feet of elevation with rolling terrain, dense tree cover, and red clay soil that shifts after the heavy spring rains common to the area. Argus III Forestry LLC puts the right machine on the right job, whether that means running an excavator through rooted hardwood ground, grading a sloped lot, or clearing a site before construction begins. We handle land clearing, site grading, earthmoving, and forestry-related excavation work. Our operators read the ground before they move it. That means less rework, cleaner cuts, and a finished site that drains and sits the way it should. Landowners, developers, and contractors in Six Mile count on us when the terrain is too tight, too steep, or too rooted for standard approaches. If your property needs machine work done right, call Argus III Forestry LLC.

Argus and his team are fantastic. They have extensive experience to handle difficult jobs, a friendly crew that listens, top quality equipment, concern for your home/property, and are fully insured. Argus, the owner, is also a strong communicator and detail oriented, so you always know what is going on. I heartily recommend Argus Forestry for excellent and safe tree removal. First 2 Pics are a before and after of the front of our home. 3rd pic shows the spider, amazing equipment. 4th pic is the final stage of removing a massive 120 ft tall pine that hovered over our house. They used a zip line to remove huge branches safely. And they chip up to 15” logs.

Argus and team took down a huge pecan tree that hung over the house and fence. He said it would look like a flower garden when he finished and it did. He was fast, and no damage. Only opportunity for improvement was oil leaked on the driveway from the boom truck. I would use Argus again.

We cannot say enough about Argus. He is professional and personable. He responds to calls quickly and completes jobs in a timely manner. We have utilized his services several times over the past few years. He takes great care to protect our property and leaves everything in pristine condition. You absolutely cannot go wrong with Argus! We highly recommend him.

Our 8 year old cat was stuck in a tree. Not his first rodeo with trees but he went too high and couldn’t get back down. We tried everything. Our biggest ladder is 18 feet. He had to have been at least 40 feet up. We tried cat treats, wet food. Spspsps. Argus Forestry came out to help us. He rescued our cat. Our cat doesn’t like strangers but he went willingly when he saw help had arrived. We are so thankful.

Elle Bee Google review · January 2026

Argus came to our property and cleared about 12 trees that 2 other companies felt wasn’t worth their time. I don’t normally do reviews but with our experience I felt it was noteworthy for this team to be recognized. I was very impressed with how professional they were and how well they communicated with us during the whole process. I find it very difficult to find such good traits in a company anymore. If I could give 10 stars I would. Keep up the great work fellas!
