Backwoods Grading, Landscape, & Excavation, LLC

Backwoods Grading, Landscape & Excavation supports property owners across Fairview, Hendersonville, Asheville, and Weaverville with excavation, land grading, and outdoor construction services. The company holds a 4.6-star rating from 39 customer reviews, reflecting consistent quality in residential and commercial landscaping projects. Their service menu spans land grading, hardscapes, retaining walls, hauling, and septic tank services, addressing the full spectrum of outdoor transformation needs for mountain properties in western North Carolina.

What distinguishes this contractor is their ability to handle hillside terrain, a common challenge for properties in the Asheville area. The team uses specialized equipment to grade steep slopes and install retaining walls that stabilize erosion-prone land. Their septic tank services address both new installations and emergency repairs, a practical offering given the age of many systems in rural Fairview and surrounding communities. They also manage hauling and hardscape installations, giving homeowners a single point of contact for complete outdoor projects rather than coordinating multiple subcontractors.

Customer reviews highlight specific scenarios the team has handled. One reviewer described Josh and his crew replacing a failed culvert and rebuilding a damaged driveway after storm damage, then constructing retaining walls on both sides of the property. Another review detailed how the team responded when a reviewer's land was moving and crushing a septic tank, they rearranged other jobs to arrive immediately and resolved the situation. A third reviewer noted the team fixed a city-side water line leak that other contractors had missed, then changed an HVAC filter in the crawl space without being asked. These accounts describe hands-on problem-solving for terrain and utility challenges specific to mountain properties.
