Why Eastern NC Landowners Call South River

Local, not passing through

We're based in Garland and work these counties every week. We know the sandy soils, the low spots that hold water, and the farm roads equipment has to come in on.

The owner is on your job

Dillon Evans oversees every project himself. You won't be handed off to a crew you've never met.

Our own equipment

Track hoes, dozers, and skid steers are owned and maintained in-house, so we're not waiting on rentals to start.

Integrity first

We're a Christian-owned business. We show up when we say we will, tell you plainly what the job involves, and stand behind the work.

How Getting Started Works

01

Call or send a message

Tell us where the property is and what you need done. We’ll confirm it’s in our service area.

02

We visit the property

We walk the site to check terrain, access, drainage, and anything that could complicate the job.

03

You get a detailed estimate

Our estimate is based on that visit, not a guess over the phone, so the number holds up once we’re in the ground.

04

We review the plan and get to work

Scope, timeline, and expectations are settled before the first machine rolls in.

All around amazing experience that is very rare. Called when he said he would to confirm our appointment, showed up on time every day, had the equipment to do the job, and spent the extra time to make sure the job was done right. Great communication, great price, great work, and will be my first call when I need anything else done.

South River Land Services showed exceptional service with great attention to detail and a fair price for tree removal near me. Their polite and friendly team truly went above and beyond, making it easy to recommend them wholeheartedly. He did exactly what I wanted, and then some. We had some trees close to our house and he was able to land them perfectly!
