Excavation & Grading in Bakersville, NC.
Bakersville is the seat of Mitchell County, tucked in a tight valley on Cane Creek below Roan Mountain. It is steep, it is wet, and it is the kind of ground where drainage decides whether a project holds up.

Working the Steep Ground Below Roan Mountain
Bakersville is a small county seat with big terrain around it. The town sits along Cane Creek in a narrow bottom, and the land climbs hard from there toward Roan Mountain, one of the highest and wettest ridgelines in the Southern Appalachians. The rhododendron balds that draw crowds to the NC Rhododendron Festival every June sit on the same slopes that shed a lot of water onto the lots below.
That combination, steep grade and heavy rainfall, is why site work here lives or dies on drainage and slope control. From Burnsville we are on site in Bakersville in about half an hour, and we build with the runoff in mind from the first cut.
Ground Truth
Steep Slopes and a Lot of Water
High rainfall coming off Roan Mountain and grades that rarely sit flat make water management the heart of nearly every Bakersville job.
Drainage That Holds
Culverts, underdrain, swales, and riprap sized for the real runoff coming off the high slopes above town, so water leaves the site instead of undercutting it.
Slope and Bank Stabilization
Grading, riprap, and boulder work that keep steep Bakersville cuts and creek banks from sliding after the next hard rain.
Mountain Driveways
Access built and graded to climb to a ridge lot and survive freeze, thaw, and washout season.
