Excavation & Site Prep
Clearing, cut and fill, undercut, and subgrade prep for house sites, shops, and commercial pads across Yancey County.
View serviceBurnsville is home. Our shop and equipment yard are right here in Burnsville, so when a site in Yancey County needs moving, we are minutes away, not dispatched from two counties over.
Austin Grading and Land Management is based in Burnsville, the seat of Yancey County and the town we know better than any other. Yancey holds some of the steepest ground in North Carolina, with Mount Mitchell, the highest peak in the eastern United States, rising right here in the county. The lots we work run from tight in-town parcels off the Town Square to high benches along the Cane and South Toe rivers.
Because we live and work here, we already know the soil, the rock, and the county permit and inspection process. That local footing means less guesswork on your site and a crew that can be on the ground fast when weather or a schedule shifts.
The mountain terrain around Burnsville is exactly what we are built for. Shallow rock, sharp grade changes, and mountain runoff are the everyday here, not the exception.
Our yard is in Burnsville, so response time on a Yancey County job is measured in minutes. Fewer mobilization costs, faster starts.
We rip and reset rock, place boulders, and bench steep lots into level, buildable pads across the high country around Mount Mitchell.
