Yes. Nelson Stump & Land Clearing became Nelson Land Management in September 2026 because stump grinding became one service among many: land clearing, forestry mulching, grading, gravel driveways, drainage, and demolition. Same family, same crew, same equipment, same phone number: (864) 528-3099.

We buy all of our equipment from STEC Equipment. Every machine we bring to your property, from the skid steer to the forestry mulcher, came from STEC.

Land clearing in Upstate South Carolina runs $1,500 to $3,000 per acre for light brush and small trees, $3,000 to $5,000 per acre for mixed brush and trees with stumps included, and $5,000 to $8,000 and up per acre for dense woods and full site prep. Forestry mulching, where the growth is ground into mulch and left on the ground with no burn piles or haul-off, runs $1,500 to $2,500 per acre for brush and stems under 4 inches, $2,500 to $3,500 per acre for mixed stems 4 to 8 inches, and $3,500 to $5,000 per acre for dense growth. Every quote starts with a free on-site walkthrough, and the land clearing rate card is on our pricing page.

Brush hogging time depends on the size and condition of your property. A typical residential lot (1-2 acres) in places like Easley or Anderson can be cleared in a few hours. Larger properties or heavily overgrown areas common in rural Pickens and Oconee counties may take a full day or more. We provide time estimates during our free consultation.

Stump grinding costs in the Greenville and Upstate SC area typically range from $75-$300 per stump depending on size, location, and accessibility. Larger stumps or those in tight spaces may cost more. We always provide free on-site estimates so you know exactly what to expect before we start.

Stump grinding uses a specialized machine to grind the stump 6-8 inches below ground level, leaving the roots to decay naturally underground. Stump removal pulls the entire stump and root ball out of the ground, which is more invasive, expensive, and leaves a larger hole. For most homeowners in the Upstate, stump grinding is the preferred and more cost-effective method.

After grinding, the stump becomes a pile of wood chips mixed with soil. We can leave the chips for you to use as mulch in your garden or landscaping, or we can haul them away for an additional fee. Most customers use them to fill in the hole where the stump was and let it settle over time.
