Meet Chris Snead

Chris has always worked outdoors. He was mowing lawns before his teenage years and grew up in the landscaping and power equipment business with his father, running machinery from early on. The first time he graded a plot of land on his father's tractor, he was hooked — and Snead's Outdoor Services was born.

The company started in landscaping, moved into grading, and has kept adding services since: new construction grading, excavation, land clearing, ponds, erosion control and hauling. We are still a small company and proud of it. Big project or small backyard job, we are glad to help.

What Our Customers Say

★★★★★

We recently had Chris and team out to our property to dig a 1/3 acre fishing pond and remove a tree. The project included moving a lot of dirt while keeping the aesthetic clean and manageable, and clean up was quick and easy. They were prompt, professional, diligent and just plain good to deal with. We are extremely pleased with the outcome and would highly recommend SOS for any outdoor needs!

Reached out to Chris to give me a quote on filling a large cellar hole on our property. He worked with us for nearly two years to getting inexpensive fill and connected us with contractors in need of a place to offload their fill dirt. We had Chris come out this week and complete the project, he is extremely professional, and goes the extra mile to make sure we were taken care of. I strongly recommend Snead's Outdoor Services, we could not be more happy with the results and we know you will be too!

Called Chris for a site visit to go over options and his opinion. Wealth of knowledge. I would recommend and plan on using his services for future projects
