Customers say: Super punctual

"ZR Landscaping and Grading is by far one of the best companies we've had the pleasure dealing with. Starting with Zack, he is a no nonsense consultant, not a sales person. He was efficient and practical with his analysis and offered several options to address our drainage/erosion issues. When his team arrived, they were prompt, courteous, hard working. It was obvious they enjoyed and were proud of the work they did. They always did little things that went above and beyond the project work. The two crew chiefs, Julio and Oscar were a pleasure to deal with. They always kept us in the loop. Laura in the back office was wonderful. Overall, the outcome of the project was impressive. We highly recommend this company."

"All Trax was absolutely fantastic to work with, I wish we had found them first! They were incredibly responsive, understanding, and made sure the project direction and outcome were completed as we envisioned. They took the time to walk through a ton of options with us to ensure we had the best result at the best price. I would highly recommend All Trax to anyone in the area who needs excavation, a new gravel road/driveway, or driveway/road repair!"

"Jared and his crew showed up on time, were very neat in their work, and completed the project on time and at the agreed price even though the project became more complicated as it developed. They had to remove a large glass sunroom and construct a deck on the sunroom foundation. The final result was even better than we expected. He offered many excellent suggestions as the project progressed and was always open to discussions and suggestions from us. His work was above outstanding and we could not be more pleased. We have already recommended him to another family member."

"I hired Capps Excavation to cut in a new driveway and he did an amazing job. Took down a few big trees that were in the way and that didn't phase them at all. It was on a pretty step slope and they handled it like it was nothing. I wouldn't think twice about hiring them again or recommending them to someone for any excavation, landscaping or tree work!"

"Austin from Fox Creek Construction & Grading did a fantastic job with clearing our land for our homestead! Our property was clear cut many years ago and when we purchased it, we were unaware that the previous contractor left all of the debris piled high in the center of the property; to say it was a mountain of mess is an understatement! Austin got to work on that and had it under control in one day, splitting it up into piles for burning was just part of his great work on the land to create room for the gardens and orchards to come. I would 100% recommend his company for any clearing, or other land work you might need. They were reasonably priced and so friendly to work with. He transformed our place, allowing us to get on with our plans for the homestead. Thanks again Austin- you did a wonderful job!"

FAQs for excavation major grading or resloping projects in Black Mountain, NC

You can excavate in winter, but frozen soil slows down the process and increases labor costs. Many grading companies offer discounted rates during their off-season, so ask for a winter quote and weigh the savings against a longer timeline. A brief conversation with a local professional will help determine whether cold-weather excavation is suitable for your site.

Foundation digs can be completed in as little as three days or take up to three weeks. Soil density, access, weather, and hidden obstacles all play a role, so every timeline is a bit different. Have your contractor walk the site and flag any potential issues early—clear expectations help keep both the schedule and budget on track.

You must always call 811 before excavating. Dial 811 a few days in advance so that utility crews can mark underground lines and ensure the area is safe for digging. Hitting a buried cable or gas pipe can be both dangerous and expensive, and many municipalities will not issue permits unless the site is flagged correctly.

To remove soil during an excavation project, your crew will load the spoil into dump trucks with a backhoe or excavator, haul it to a disposal site, and return for the next load. Efficient hauling keeps the work zone clear and the project moving. Depending on the site and volume of osil, multiple trucks may rotate to maintain a steady flow.
