Working in Woodfin
Woodfin sits along the French Broad just north of Asheville. Steep residential lots mean retaining walls, drainage and grading are common, along with storm repair near the river.
About 10 miles from the yard in Leicester. Call for anything from a day of dirt work to a full lot cleared, graded and drained — the estimate is free either way.

What it includes: the same crew for clearing, digging, grading, drainage, walls and stone. All services.
01Land Clearing
Trees, brush, briars and stumps taken off the ground so a mountain lot can be built on, driven on, fenced or used again.

02Forestry Mulching
Brush, briars, scrub and small trees ground up where they stand, with the mulch left on the ground to hold the soil.

03Grading & Site Prep
Pads cut level, slopes shaped, and ground graded so the water leaves the site instead of running through the house.
Learn more
04Driveway Installation & Repair
New gravel drives cut in and worn ones rebuilt, graded and crowned so the rain runs off instead of down the middle.
Learn more
05Excavation
Foundations, trenches, utility lines, root balls and rock — dug to the right depth and backfilled so the ground settles once.
Learn more
06Erosion Control
Slopes stabilised, banks armoured and water redirected so the next heavy rain does not take the yard, the drive or the creek bank with it.
Learn more
07Retaining Walls
Block retaining walls built on a real base, with drain pipe and stone behind them, so the slope they hold stays held.
Learn more
08Demolition
Structures torn down, debris loaded and hauled, and the site left clear and graded instead of a pile of rubble.
Learn more
09Septic Installation
Tank holes, drain field lines and the grading around them, dug to the plan so the system sits right and drains the way it should.
Learn more
10Hauling
Gravel, fill and stone brought in, and spoil, brush and debris hauled away — usually as part of the job, sometimes on its own.
