Local excavating contractors
Excavation Company Serving Cape Carteret, NC Site Development Needs
County Line Grading brings excavation, grading, and drainage expertise to Cape Carteret's canals, wooded lots, and sound-side properties.
Service Areas
Site Development for a Growing Sound-Side Community
Cape Carteret has built a reputation as a quiet alternative to the busier beach towns along Highway 58, and much of that appeal comes from its canal-front homes and wooded residential streets near Bell Fork Road and Hibbs Road. That kind of setting means most site work here has to account for canal frontage, marshy fringe areas, and the mature tree cover that gives the town its character.
As a local excavating contractors team, we handle everything from new home site preparation to drainage corrections on established lots near Star Hill Golf Club and the town's residential canal system. We know which streets flood after a heavy nor'easter and which lots need extra grading attention before a foundation goes in.
Whether you're a homeowner clearing a wooded parcel off Highway 24 or a contractor managing a build near the White Oak River, our crew brings the local knowledge and equipment to get the site ready the right way. We show up with equipment sized for the job and a plan built around local water tables and soil conditions.

County Line Grading offers a full slate of site development services for homeowners, builders, and commercial clients throughout Cape Carteret. Below is the complete list of services we provide in this area.
Demolition & Cleanup
Our demolition contractors safely remove old structures, slabs, and debris, then handle full site cleanup so you can start fresh.
Excavation
From foundation excavation to soil removal, our excavation services cover the groundwork every Cape Carteret project depends on.
Forestry Mulching
Forestry mulching services clear underbrush and small trees in place, leaving mulch behind instead of debris piles to haul away.
Land Clearing
Our land clearing company preps wooded lots near the sound or river for construction, driveways, or simple property cleanup.
Site Preparation
Construction site preparation services get your lot graded, compacted, and ready for building crews to move in without delay.
Underbrush Clearing
We clear thick underbrush and low vegetation from residential and commercial lots, improving visibility and access across the property.
Drainage Solutions
As a drainage contractor familiar with canal-front lots, we design systems that move water away from foundations and low spots.
Erosion Control
Erosion control services protect sloped and waterfront lots from soil loss during storms and heavy seasonal rainfall.
French Drain Installation
French drain installation redirects standing groundwater away from structures, a common need on Cape Carteret's flatter lots.
Land Grading
Our land grading services correct slope and pooling issues so water flows away from homes, driveways, and outbuildings.
Land Leveling
Land leveling smooths out uneven ground for yards, building pads, and outdoor living spaces across the property.
Road Building & Maintenance
We build and maintain private roads and driveways, including road grading for gravel and unpaved surfaces around the area.
Working With Cape Carteret's Soil and Terrain
Cape Carteret sits on a peninsula bordered by the White Oak River to the west and Bogue Sound to the south, and that geography shapes nearly every excavation project we take on here. Sandy, well-drained soil dominates much of the upland, but lots closer to the canals and marsh edges often hold water longer and need more careful grading.
Many Cape Carteret neighborhoods were built around canal systems designed for boat access, which means driveway grading and foundation excavation have to account for both natural drainage patterns and the town's stormwater infrastructure. Get the grade wrong near one of these canals and water backs up fast during a summer downpour.
Our team has handled ditch excavation, pond excavation, and slope grading on properties throughout this stretch of Carteret County, so we know how to keep water moving where it belongs instead of pooling against a foundation or eroding a canal bank.
