Working in Waynesville & Canton
Haywood County work runs to acreage — long private drives, forestry mulching on overgrown ground, and access roads that have to serve more than one structure.
Longer runs mean the drainage design matters more, not less.
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 is forestry mulching and when is it better than clearing?
A mulching head grinds brush, saplings and undergrowth into chip where it stands. No burn pile, nothing to haul off, and the chip holds the soil. Where stumps and root mat have to come out for a building site, that is clearing and excavation instead.
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.
