Overview
Appalachian Excavation & Concrete is a locally owned, family-operated excavation and concrete contractor serving Marshall 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.
Marshall and the surrounding French Broad River corridor bring narrow access roads, riverside grades and hillside homesteads. Working here rewards experience with tight equipment access and honest talk about what a slope can support.
We prepare pads and driveways, install culverts and drainage, build retaining walls that hold back cut banks, and pour foundations and flatwork designed for river-valley moisture and mountain runoff.
