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 Site Preparation in Seneca, SC
Site preparation in Six Mile, SC starts with getting your land build-ready from the ground up. At Argus III Forestry LLC, we handle every step before construction begins. That means clearing trees and brush, grubbing out stumps and roots, rough grading the surface, and cutting a stable building pad. Six Mile sits in Pickens County at roughly 1,000 feet of elevation, with rolling Piedmont terrain and clay-heavy soils that require careful grading to manage water runoff. Heavy spring rains in March can shift loose soil fast, so proper slope work and drainage prep matter from day one. We work on home sites, shop pads, driveways, and rural acreage. Whether your lot is wooded, overgrown, or uneven, we bring the right equipment to move dirt and set a solid foundation for whatever comes next. Call Argus III Forestry LLC to get your Six Mile property ready to build.
