We offer professional overgrown property cleanup services across Effingham, SC. Our team is equipped to handle the tough jobs—thick vegetation, tangled vines, years of overgrowth, and all the mess that comes with it.


No matter the size or condition of the space, we restore it to a clean, manageable state quickly and safely.

Our Cleanup Process

We start every job with a walk-through to assess the severity of the overgrowth, note access points, and determine the right equipment for the job.

Brush Cutting

High weeds and dense vegetation are cut down using commercial-grade trimmers and mowers.

Debris Removal

We gather and remove organic material, including fallen branches, sticks, and clutter.

Bush & Vine ClearinG

We trim back or fully remove aggressive shrubs and vines.

Edge Restoration

We reclaim sidewalks, driveways, and yard boundaries from creeping growth.

If your cleanup requires additional hauling or disposal, we can include that in your quote.

What Counts as an Overgrown Property?

You may have an overgrown property if you notice:



  • Grass over 12 inches high
  • Invasive brush taking over walkways or fences
  • Fallen limbs and debris scattered across the yard
  • Unreachable or blocked access points
  • Bushes and trees growing wild without trimming
  • Dense weed growth choking out turf and flowers


These conditions aren’t just unsightly—they can also attract pests, create safety issues, and violate local property codes. Our cleanup services are designed to resolve all of the above without damage to the property.
