Reliable Excavation & Utility Services Across Western North Carolina

Gwyn Grading & Utilities was quick to respond to our initial request for a quote, and the estimate was far below what we expected. They began our job a couple days later as promised, and [their operator] spent three days clearing six acres of underbrush (including buckthorn) in the woods and a field, then cleaning up the shredded material on the whole property. Working with Tim and Cody was a pleasure; they were both extremely professional and friendly. We had never a problem, and they did everything we asked of them. Cody drove the machine like a surgeon in an operatory. We couldn’t be more pleased with the result! They delivered on their promise of Precision in Every Detail.

We were building a new home and needed a dependable contractor for our septic system installation. From the initial Site Evaluation & Design Review, Gwyn Grading walked us through the entire process, including permitting support. Their crew was highly professional, installed the tank and drain field precisely to code, and ensured everything was properly tested and inspected. True to their word, they left the site neat and clean—no messy trenches left behind. If you need a reliable, code-compliant septic solution, choose this team.

Starting our custom home build felt overwhelming until we partnered with Gwyn Grading for the homesite prep. Lucas and his crew were fantastic. They handled everything from lot clearing to the final fine grading, making our sloped property build-ready with incredible care. I appreciated the direct communication and the fact that the owner was hands-on, ensuring the drainage and elevation were perfectly accurate. They truly operate with Pride in Every Project, and it shows in the quality of the foundation they prepared for us. Highly recommend them to any builder or homeowner in the Hickory area.
