Pest control working out of Travelers Rest, handling the ants, roaches, termites, rodents, and seasonal invaders that come with living in the northern Upstate. A locally based operation keeping weekday hours, Monday through Friday.

Arsenal Pest Management is based in Greer and covers the surrounding Upstate, the band of suburbs and older neighborhoods east of Greenville where homes sit close to the treelines and standing water that keep pest pressure steady through the warm months. The practical draw of a company rooted in Greer is proximity, with the response coming from someone already working the area rather than a crew routed in from elsewhere.

Palmetto Exterminators provides pest control for homes and properties in and around Greer, covering the everyday household pests common to the Upstate, from ants, spiders, and roaches to rodents and seasonal invaders. It handles both one-time treatment for a specific problem and recurring service for residents who want to stay ahead of pests.

Apex puts termite control at the center of what it does, handling inspections and treatment alongside general pest management for the ants, spiders, rodents, and other household pests common across the Upstate. Its coverage centers on Greer and extends into the surrounding Greenville communities.

Grading and asphalt paving handled under one company, which means the groundwork and the finished surface come from a single contractor rather than two. The grading side prepares and levels the ground and shapes it so water runs off; the paving side lays the asphalt once that base is set. It is the kind of work that goes into driveways, parking areas, and private roads for both homes and businesses, where how the base is built matters as much as the surface people see.

TJT Asphalt is a paving and asphalt contractor based in Taylors, in the Upstate of South Carolina. Its work centers on asphalt paving and related surface projects for properties in the Taylors area.

From a home base in Travelers Rest, on the north side of Greenville County, Carolina Asphalt Services lays blacktop and takes on concrete work as well.

Banks Brothers handles asphalt paving and sealcoating, covering both the installation of new asphalt surfaces and the sealcoating that keeps existing ones intact. Sealcoating is the maintenance layer that slows the cracking, fading, and water damage that would otherwise shorten the life of a driveway or lot, so a single crew can take a surface from the first pour through years of upkeep rather than leaving an owner to line up separate contractors for laying and sealing.

Palmetto Corp runs an asphalt plant in Greer, so its core is producing and supplying the material itself rather than the driveway-and-parking-lot paving most listings in this category handle. The operation also extends to transportation, the hauling that moves heavy asphalt from the plant out to the job site.

Sealcoating and routine asphalt upkeep are the focus here, the kind of maintenance that shields driveways and parking lots from the water, sun, and cracking that wear pavement down over time, rather than tearing it out and starting over. It is a practical fit for property owners and businesses looking to protect and extend the life of asphalt they already have.

Panagakos Asphalt Paving puts down and repairs asphalt for homes and businesses across the Upstate, from residential driveways to the larger lots and access drives that have to hold up under daily traffic and South Carolina weather. The crew works out of White Horse Road on Greenville's south side.

Quality Control Painting takes on interior and exterior painting for homes and businesses around Mauldin and the surrounding Greenville-area communities. Projects range from full repaints to smaller touch-up and single-room work.

Southedge doesn't subcontract its painting. Every painter is on staff, background-checked, and trained by owner Mike Sanchez, a military veteran who founded this family business in 2022 under its original name, L&J Painting. The work runs from interior and exterior painting for homes and businesses to cabinet refinishing and staining for decks, doors, and log homes. Each job comes with a written agreement covering the prep and the products, and the two-year warranty stretches to five years with premium paint or a second coat. Crews work across Greenville County, from Mauldin and Simpsonville to Greer, Taylors, and Travelers Rest, and into Pickens, Spartanburg, and Oconee counties. Customers have a way of naming their painters in reviews, usually alongside the same few notes: they showed up when promised, stayed friendly, and cleaned up thoroughly.

Brightline Painting is a painting contractor working out of Greenville's West End, where its shop sits among the studios and trades along Traction Street near the Reedy River. Homeowners and property managers across the Greenville area bring the company the kind of work that turns on a clean line and an even coat: refreshing tired walls, bringing color back to a weathered exterior, and finishing the surfaces that give a space its first impression. The small set of reviews the business has earned so far leans positive, the early mark of a crew that shows up and does the job it was hired for. Weekday scheduling keeps the operation focused on planned projects rather than rushed weekend work, and the Traction Street base keeps Brightline close to the in-town neighborhoods and commercial spaces it most often paints.

123 Lock & Key is an independently run locksmith covering Easley and the nearby Upstate, the kind of shop people reach for when they are locked out, moving into a place that needs the locks rekeyed, or just need a spare key cut without waiting on a national dispatch line. Because it is run locally, the person who answers the phone is usually the one who shows up to do the work.

Pasadena Certified Farmers' Market connects the Pasadena community with certified growers and local vendors offering fresh produce, farm products and market goods. The Victory Park market takes place Saturdays from 8:30 AM to 12:30 PM.

Envirocare Landscape Management handles lawn care and landscape upkeep for properties in and around Fountain Inn, at the southern end of the Upstate. The focus, as the name suggests, leans toward managing a landscape over time: the regular mowing, trimming, and seasonal grounds work that keeps a yard in shape rather than letting it get away from you.

Piedmont Landscaping & Maintenance provides landscaping and lawn maintenance for properties around Piedmont and the surrounding Upstate South Carolina area. The work ranges from routine grounds upkeep to planting and larger landscape projects.

CP Landscaping is a landscaping and lawn care company serving the Easley area of the Upstate. Its work runs from routine lawn maintenance, mowing, and seasonal cleanups through to larger landscaping and grounds projects for residential and commercial properties.

Todd Cochran, who holds a horticulture degree from Clemson, started this design-and-install company in 2000 and still runs it as an independent, owner-led business. Projects go well past plantings, into paver patios, retaining walls, outdoor kitchens and fireplaces, and ponds, waterfalls, and fountains. Irrigation is a specialty of its own, from new systems to repairs, and the company installs artificial turf for putting greens, playgrounds, pet areas, and batting cages alongside sod. Crews also handle ongoing mowing, fertilization, pruning, and leaf removal for homes and commercial properties. Service covers Easley, Greenville, Greer, Simpsonville, Piedmont, and other Upstate towns. Reviewers often name their crew leader and praise hands-on help with design and plant choices, plus a yard left clean when the job wraps up. One returning client singled out the detailed care guidelines handed over after the install.

Easy Lawn Care handles routine lawn maintenance and landscaping, the recurring outdoor work that keeps a property looking cared for: regular mowing, edging and trimming, seasonal leaf and debris cleanup, and general yard upkeep. It is a straightforward option for homeowners and businesses that would rather hand off yard work than keep up with it themselves.

Mulch and bed work come up again and again in Yard Sarge's reviews, from tired beds brought back with fresh mulch to spring cleanups. Beyond the beds, the crew handles the routine upkeep most of us would rather hand off: mowing, edging, shrub and small-tree pruning, weed cleanup, new plantings, and sod for bare or damaged stretches of lawn. They take on commercial properties too. It's a local outfit that keeps its territory close to home, working Simpsonville and Five Forks. Customers tend to mention Ashton by name, and the praise lands in the same places: a heads-up before mowing day, good communication from start to finish, and beds left neat when the job wraps. More than one reviewer has hired them for two different homes.

Marty Snaric has owned Curb Appeal since 2006, and he runs it on a short list of services and a calendar he won't overbook, so the work gets done on time. He credits that focus for the company's success. The list itself is mowing, weed eating, edging, and blowing, along with hedge trimming and fresh mulch or pine straw. Beyond the grass, the company power washes driveways and concrete and offers pooper scooping for households with dogs. Service runs month to month with no long-term contract, and the route covers Simpsonville, Mauldin, Fountain Inn, Greer, and Greenville. Customers tend to praise two things: that what was promised actually happens, and that Marty is easy to talk to about the yard.
