Our story

Built on Solid Ground

On The Rock Land Services was founded by Brendan Dougherty with a simple mission—serve others with honesty, hard work, and real results. What started with a few tools and a vision has grown into a trusted land clearing and site prep company serving Columbia, Chapin, Irmo, Lexington, Prosperity, and surrounding South Carolina communities.

We specialize in land clearing, grading, site preparation, and house demolition for homeowners, builders, and property developers. Whether you need a single tree removed or a full site cleared for construction, we bring the same level of care and commitment to every job.

What Our Clients Say

We highly recommend On the Rock Land Services. Brendan was quick to respond to any questions we had and often sent us update photos. Brendan assisted us with the permit process and was able to provide a great result at a very fair price. You won’t be disappointed!

Karen Maslowski

There are very few business that I “very highly recommend” and On The Rock just became one. I had the pleasure of meeting with Brendan on a small project 2 weeks before hurricane Helene. Brendan came when he said he would, gave us a fair price for the scope of work, and completed it as promised an on time with careful regard to my yard. Read more

Keith Huggins

From the initial contact until the completed project, Brendan was a pleasure to work with. He was willing to tackle a task that most other people said they wouldn't touch. Thanks to Brendan and On The Rock Land Services we now have a functional back yard instead of a virtual swamp.
