Transforming Land With Skill and Precision: The Story Behind PayDirt Grading

In the world of land improvement, site preparation, and property development, PayDirt Grading stands out as a company built on skill, integrity, and a deep commitment to quality work. Our legacy is rooted in decades of real-world experience, military-trained discipline, and a passion for transforming raw land into usable, beautiful, and functional spaces across Upstate South Carolina. A Legacy Built From the Ground Up The story of PayDirt began with a determined 17-year-old who had just completed his service as a heavy equipment operator in the U.S. Navy Seabees. During his time in the Seabees, Gary Byers mastered the art of clearing and grading land, building fully functioning sites from the ground up under challenging conditions. That early experience — paired with a “can-do” mindset and the Seabee motto, “The difficult we accomplish with ease; the impossible takes a little longer” — became the foundation of what PayDirt is today. The PayDirt Difference At PayDirt Grading, we believe excellence is achieved through precision, reliability, and experience. Our team brings decades of hands-on knowledge operating dozers, skid steers, excavators, and specialized land-clearing machinery. Every project reflects our core values: • Quality workmanship • Efficient project execution • Respect for the land and the customer’s vision • Professional operators who take pride in their craft From land clearing and grading to pond construction, drainage improvements, brush removal, forestry mulching, and storm cleanup, we deliver dependable solutions for residential and commercial properties throughout Greer, Inman, Spartanburg, Greenville, and the surrounding Upstate SC communities. More Than a Service — A Partnership What sets PayDirt apart is not just the work we do, but the way we do it.
