Overview
Appalachian Excavation & Concrete is a locally owned, family-operated excavation and concrete contractor serving Asheville and the surrounding Western North Carolina communities. We know how water moves across this terrain, how local soils behave when they get saturated, and what it takes to build driveways, foundations and retaining walls that hold up here.
Asheville is our home base, which means shorter response times, faster site visits and a crew that already knows the permitting expectations in Buncombe County. From West Asheville driveways to hillside foundations in North Asheville and commercial pads along the river district, we handle both the dirt work and the concrete under one contractor.
Steep lots, clay-heavy soils and intense summer downpours make drainage the deciding factor on most Asheville projects. We plan where water goes before we move a bucket of earth, then build the grading, walls and concrete that keep it moving away from your structures.

Many land-disturbing and driveway projects inside Asheville city limits and Buncombe County require permits or erosion control measures, and driveway connections to public roads may need NCDOT review. We identify what your project needs and help you through it.
Simple residential flatwork often moves quickly, while grading and structural permits can take a few weeks depending on review load. We build realistic permitting time into your project schedule up front.
