Grading, excavation and land clearing across Mitchell County, from Spruce Pine to Bakersville.
Next Door to Our Home Base
Mitchell County is next door to our home base, and parts of it are closer to our shop than much of Avery County. We work throughout the county for homeowners, farms and contractors.
Property here runs from in-town lots in Spruce Pine to long hollows and ridge-top tracts reached by long gravel drives, out through Bakersville, Penland and Little Switzerland.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who does excavation and grading work in Mitchell County, NC?
Western Carolina Earthworx works throughout Mitchell County from our home base next door in Avery County. Spruce Pine is about 20 minutes from our shop and Bakersville about 36, and we work for homeowners, farms and contractors.
Which Mitchell County communities do you serve?
We work in Spruce Pine, Bakersville, Penland and Little Switzerland, along with the hollows and ridge-top tracts across the rest of the county.
What is the ground like for excavation in Mitchell County?
Much of Mitchell County sits in the Spruce Pine Mining District, where pegmatite and mica gneiss put hard rock close to the surface and weather into red, clay-heavy soil. We look for rock during the site visit so it is planned for, not a surprise.
Where do I get building permits in Mitchell County?
Mitchell County Building and Fire Inspections in Bakersville issues building permits, plus floodplain and retaining wall permits. Final inspection on a new home also needs septic approval from the health department.
Can you repair Hurricane Helene storm damage in Mitchell County?
Yes. We regrade washed-out driveways and private roads, replace failed culverts and rebuild ditches across Mitchell County, sizing the drainage for heavy storms rather than an average rain.
