Overview
Appalachian Excavation & Concrete — Asheville's Dirt Work and Concrete Specialists
Appalachian Excavation & Concrete, LLC is a locally owned, family-operated contractor working out of 50 Dix Creek Chapel Rd, Asheville, NC 28806. We combine heavy excavation and finished concrete under one roof, so the grading, base prep and pour are all done by the same people who answer your call.
That matters in Western North Carolina. Steep grades, clay-heavy soils and long stretches of hard rain punish work that was rushed or poorly drained. We plan where water goes first, build the base to hold, then pour driveways, slabs, foundations and walls designed to stay flat and crack-free for decades.
Residential or commercial, one driveway or a full site package — you get a free on-site evaluation, a clear written estimate, a clean job site and straight answers from start to finish.

What areas do you serve?
We serve Asheville and communities across Western North Carolina, including Hendersonville, Black Mountain, Weaverville, Arden, Fletcher, Waynesville, Candler, Fairview and Leicester.
Do you handle both excavation and concrete?
Yes. Doing the dirt work and the concrete with one crew means the base under your slab is prepared correctly and nothing is lost between subcontractors.
Are your estimates free?
Yes. We visit the site, review slope, soil and drainage conditions, and provide a clear written estimate with scope, materials and timeline at no cost.
Do you work on residential and commercial projects?
Both. We pour residential driveways, patios and foundations, and we handle commercial pads, structural concrete and site preparation for builders and developers.
How soon can you start?
Scheduling depends on permitting and weather, but we give you a realistic start window up front and keep you updated if conditions change.
