Most Martinez Jobs Are Small and Tight
Martinez is not new, and that shows up in the work. There is very little raw land left. What there is instead is established neighborhoods off Columbia Road and Bobby Jones, with mature trees, third and half acre lots, houses close on either side, and a back section of the yard that quietly went to privet, greenbrier, and volunteer sweetgum over fifteen years. That is the Martinez job. Small, close to somebody's house, and the hard part is getting a machine to it.
The other constant is trees, real ones. Martinez has mature water oak, willow oak, and old loblolly standing since before the subdivision went in. Some people want them gone. Most want them kept, and kept means more than not hitting them.
Common Martinez Jobs
- Overgrown back yards. Taking back the back third of a lot that stopped getting mowed a decade ago.
- Storm damage. Martinez has a lot of big, mature pine, and a big pine in a Georgia thunderstorm is a serious problem. Downed trees, leaners, and root plates.
- Stumps. The tree service took the tree and left the stump. That is the single most common call we get out of Martinez.
- Fence lines. Clearing the line so a fence crew can actually work it.
- Shop or pool prep. Making room in an existing yard for something new.
- Drainage. Older lots, decades of settling, and water sitting where it never used to.
Ready for a number? Tell us what is in the yard and how wide the gate is. That is usually enough to price it.

On a Martinez lot, nobody asks how many acres. They ask whether the machine fits. The pinch point is almost always the same place: the side yard between the house and the fence, or the gate itself. If that gap is six feet, an eight foot machine is not getting to your back yard. So we ask for that measurement before we quote, and we bring what fits even when it means more hours on site. A compact track loader working longer beats a big machine taking out your fence, your irrigation, and your neighbor's patience. Where nothing fits, the job is chainsaws and hand work, priced honestly rather than pretended away.
Buried services are the second reality. These neighborhoods are old enough that the ground is full of things nobody drew on a plan: irrigation, invisible fence, drain tile, a water line somebody ran to a shop in 1985, old septic abandoned when the sewer came through. Georgia 811 is free and required by law before you dig, and it marks the public utilities. It will not mark any of that private stuff. Tell us what you know about and we go carefully where nobody knows.
Third, the mature trees, which is where a Martinez job goes wrong quietly. The root zone of a big water oak runs out about as far as the canopy, sometimes further. Compact that soil with a loaded machine and the tree does not complain this year. It declines and dies in two or three, long after the clearing job is a distant memory. So the traffic path gets planned before work starts and keeper trees get ribboned. That is the difference between keeping the shade you paid for and losing it slowly.
Services in Martinez
Everything we do runs in Martinez, though the mix skews small and residential.
For an overgrown yard, start with brush clearing. For a stump the tree crew left behind, stump removal is the one. Martinez sits between Evans and Augusta, and we work all of it, including North Augusta across the river. Small jobs carry a minimum, and we tell you what it is on the phone rather than surprise you with it.
Martinez Land Clearing FAQ
My back yard is small. Is it too small a job to bother with?
No. A lot of the Martinez work is exactly that: a back quarter acre that grew up in privet and sweetgum while the kids were growing up. Small jobs carry a minimum charge, because the trailer, the fuel, and the trip cost the same whether the job takes two hours or eight. That is the whole reason for a minimum, and we will tell you what it is on the phone rather than surprise you with it.
Can you get equipment into a back yard through a side gate?
Usually, with the right machine. The measurement that matters is the narrowest pinch point between the street and the work, and it is almost always the gate or the gap between the house and the fence. Give us that number, in feet, and we will tell you honestly what fits. Sometimes the answer is a compact machine and more hours. Sometimes it is taking a fence panel out and putting it back. Sometimes it is hand work.
How do you protect the trees I want to keep?
Mark them, and then we keep traffic out from under the canopy. The risk on a mature Martinez water oak is not the machine hitting the trunk, it is soil compaction over the root zone. Roots run out about as far as the branches do, and running loaded equipment across them compacts the soil enough to kill a big tree slowly, two or three years down the road, when nobody connects it back to the work. That is why we plan the traffic path first.
