BillyGoat Mulching crosses the state line to serve Gaffney and Cherokee County — bringing the same one-visit clearing and leveling process to upstate South Carolina.
BillyGoat Mulching is based in Casar, NC, but we cross the state line regularly to serve customers in Gaffney and Cherokee County, SC. The terrain along the North and South Carolina border is similar on both sides — rolling piedmont land, mixed brush and timber, overgrown agricultural parcels, and residential properties that need clearing and leveling done right.
We’re transparent about what it costs to bring equipment to South Carolina from our base in Casar. Transport is charged at $125 per hour, and we always disclose the travel time and cost before you commit to anything. For most jobs in the Gaffney area, the transport cost is modest relative to the total project — and the savings from combining clearing and leveling in one visit typically far exceed what you’d pay for the additional travel.
The subsoil mulching process is the same in South Carolina as it is across the line in NC: grind down to six to ten inches, level the terrain in the same pass, compact to the finish you need. One contractor, one visit, one bill.
HOW IT WORKS
Our subsoil mulching attachment uses a carbide-tooth counter-rotating rotor that grinds through all surface vegetation, stumps, and root systems to a depth of six to ten inches below grade. A fixed blade inside the hood shaves the material fine and incorporates it into the soil profile. After grinding, the rotor transitions to leveling mode — redistributing soil from high spots to low spots — and the roller firms the surface into a consistent, compacted grade.
Cherokee County SC properties typically include mixed brush, volunteer timber, and the same fast-growing vegetation that characterizes the Western Carolinas. The process handles all of it effectively, and the one-pass leveling means you don’t need a separate grading contractor after we leave.

THE BILLYGOAT DIFFERENCE. ONE CONTRACTOR, ONE VISIT
Cherokee County SC landowners face the same two-contractor problem as NC property owners — forestry mulcher first, grader second. BillyGoat eliminates that step in one visit. The leveling is done as part of the clearing pass, which means you pay for one trip, one machine, and one contractor rather than two.
COST COMPARISON: Traditional approach (forestry mulcher + grading contractor): $8,800–$12,500+ BillyGoat subsoil mulching (clearing + leveling + compaction): Starting at $4,500 Note: Transport cost from Casar, NC is additional and always quoted transparently.
