Dirt Work in Elk Park

Elk Park sits at the northern end of Avery County along US 19E. We work in and around town for homeowners, farms and contractors.

Property here usually needs work on access and water: driveways that climb out of the valley, culverts where creeks and runoff cross, and grading so fields and yards don't stay wet.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you do excavation and grading in Elk Park, NC?
Yes. Elk Park is about 21 minutes from our shop, and Western Carolina Earthworx builds driveways and private roads, replaces culverts, clears land and digs farm ponds in and around Elk Park.

Do you work across the Tennessee line from Elk Park?
No. Elk Park sits near the Tennessee state line, and we work on the North Carolina side only.

Are there rules for working near the Elk River in Elk Park?
Yes. The Elk River and many of its tributaries are classified trout waters, and North Carolina requires an undisturbed 25-foot buffer along trout waters during land-disturbing work. Plan driveways, house sites and ponds with that buffer in mind.

Can you replace a culvert under my driveway in Elk Park?
Yes. Many Elk Park driveways cross a creek or runoff channel, and we replace failed and undersized culverts and rebuild the driveway over them.
