Working in Asheville
Asheville sits in a bowl with everything around it going uphill, which is why so much of the driveway work here is really drainage work. Properties in the coves and up the ridges share the same problem: water has a long way to run and it picks the driving surface to run down.
We are based here, so an Asheville job is the shortest trip we make and the easiest one to come back to if something needs a look.
Everything we do, locally.
- Gravel Driveways. New drives cut, based and crowned to shed water — built for grade, not for flat ground.
- Driveway Repair. Ruts, washboard and washout corrected, then re-crowned so it stops coming back.
- Drainage. Culverts, catch basins, French drains and riprap — moving water off the drive and away from the house.
- Land Clearing. Lots, building sites and overgrown acreage opened up and hauled off.
- Forestry Mulching. Brush, saplings and undergrowth cut and mulched in place. No burn pile, no haul-off.
- Grading. Rough and finish grading to a slope that drains instead of holding water.
- Site Prep. Raw ground made buildable — cleared, stripped, graded and accessed.
- House Pads. Compacted pads built to spec on ground that was never flat to begin with.
- Retaining Walls. Block and stone walls that hold a cut bank and keep the drive where you put it.

What areas do you cover?
Asheville and Buncombe County first, out through Henderson, Haywood and Transylvania counties, and down into Upstate South Carolina around Greenville and Spartanburg.
Why does my gravel driveway keep washing out?
Almost always because water is running down the driving surface instead of off it. That is a crown and ditch-line problem, not a gravel problem. Adding more stone to a drive that sheds water badly buys a few months.
Can you build a driveway on a steep slope?
Yes, and most of what we build in Western North Carolina is on grade. The difference between a drive that holds and one that slides is whether it was cut into the hill or piled on top of it.
Do you handle the drainage as well as the driveway?
Yes, and on a mountain drive they are the same job. Culverts, catch basins, ditch lines, French drains and riprap are part of building a driveway that lasts.
