OUR LAND PARTNER
Paint protects a house. The ground around it decides how long that paint lasts, and whether a new home gets built at all. When an Upstate client needs land cleared, a lot prepped, or water moved away from the house, we send them to Nelson Land Management.
WHERE LAND AND PAINT MEET
Most of what ruins exterior paint starts in the yard. These are the jobs we see most often where the right fix is land work, not another coat.
NEW CONSTRUCTION
Before we finish-paint a new home, someone has to clear the footprint, cut the driveway, open up the septic area, and grade the pad. Nelson preps Upstate home sites for owners and builders with one written price for the whole package.
Home site prep for a new house →OVERGROWTH
Brush, vines, and limbs touching the house hold moisture against the siding, and that is where mildew and peeling start. Clearing the overgrowth back gives a fresh exterior coat room to dry out between rains.
Land clearing and brush removal →WATER AT THE FOUNDATION
When the yard slopes toward the house or downspouts empty at the foundation, the lowest boards and trim stay wet and the paint fails there first. A French drain or a regrade fixes the cause before we repaint.
French drains and yard drainage →LISTING PREP
A fresh exterior sells a house from the street, and old stumps or an overgrown back lot can undo it in the listing photos. Pair a pre-listing repaint with stump grinding or bush hogging and the whole property shows well.
Stump grinding in the Upstate →THE RIGHT ORDER
01
Clear and grade first
Machines throw dust and debris, and grading changes where water runs. Doing the land work first keeps a fresh exterior from wearing red clay the week after we leave.
02
Fix the water next
Paint over a wet bottom board and it peels again. Move the water away from the house, let the wood dry out, and the repaint lasts.
03
Paint last, once
With the ground settled, we wash, prep, and paint one time, backed by our written 3-year workmanship warranty.
