Services & Process

Cantrell's Tree & Land Management takes on jobs that often require coordinating tree removal, grading, and septic work in sequence, which is common when a property is being cleared or a new system is being installed. Their excavation capabilities mean they can dig for new septic tank installations or drain field repairs without subcontracting that part of the work. Tree services include removal of trees that may be encroaching on drain fields or tank access areas, a surprisingly common issue on older wooded properties. This integrated approach saves property owners the headache of managing multiple contractors on the same job site.

Service Area

Cantrell's Tree & Land Management serves Piedmont and the surrounding areas across Anderson and Greenville counties. Their equipment and capabilities make them well suited for rural and semi-rural properties throughout the Upstate. Communities along the I-85 corridor between Anderson and Greenville, including Pelzer, Williamston, and Belton, are all part of their regular service territory.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can tree roots damage a septic system, and how do I know if that's happened?
Yes, tree roots are one of the most common causes of septic line damage, especially in older systems with clay or concrete pipes. Signs include recurring clogs, slow drains, and in severe cases, sinkholes or depressions forming above the drain field.
Do I need a tree removed before a new septic system can be installed?
It depends on the tree's location relative to the planned system layout, but trees within the drain field area typically need to come down before installation can proceed. Combining tree removal and septic installation with one company saves time and reduces site disruption.
What does excavation for a septic system installation involve?
Excavation for a new system means digging to expose or place the tank, trenching for distribution lines, and grading the drain field area to proper specifications. The soil type and lot layout in Anderson County can affect how deep and wide that work needs to go.
Is it possible to install a septic system on a heavily wooded lot in Piedmont SC?
Yes, but it typically requires clearing trees and stumps from the drain field footprint and possibly regrading the site. A company that handles both land clearing and septic installation can evaluate the lot and give you a realistic plan.
How close can a septic system be to trees on my property?
South Carolina DHEC guidelines specify setback distances from structures, wells, and property lines, but trees don't have a formal setback requirement. That said, most septic professionals recommend keeping drain fields well away from large trees to prevent root intrusion over time.
What permits are required for septic system installation in Anderson County?
New septic installations in Anderson County require a permit through DHEC's environmental health office, and the system design must meet soil and site evaluation requirements. Your contractor typically handles the permit application as part of the installation process.
