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.

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.
