Snead's Excavating: Because sometimes you need a man with a machine and zero fear of dirt, danger, or dumb questions. You got land? They'll move it. You got a giant hole that needs digging, a busted pipe underground, or a driveway that looks like it lost a bar fight? Snead's got you. I've watched these guys operate equipment like it's an extension of their soul. Excavator ballet. Skid steer symphony. Precision dirt destruction at its finest. They've handled everything I've thrown at them: Grading? Laser level perfect. Drainage fix? No more backyard swamp. Septic trench? Dug it like they were uncovering buried treasure. And somehow they do it without wrecking your yard like a monster truck rally. Bottom line: Snead's Excavating doesn't just dig holes—they solve problems with diesel and grit. You call. They show up. Dirt disappears. Magic happens. If you want it done right, fast, and without babysitting—get Snead's on the job.

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!

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!

Expert Erosion Control Contractors in Lake Norman, NC

Snead's Outdoor Services started with our owner, Chris Snead, who grew up in the landscaping and power equipment business alongside his father. He took to running machinery early, and once he graded his first plot of land on his father's tractor he was hooked — that is where this company came from.

We are still a small outfit and we like it that way: the person who looks at your bank is the one who fixes it. We stabilise shorelines and slopes, then grade and seed behind the work so the repair actually holds.

Locally Owned & Operated Free, No-Obligation Estimates Serving Davidson County & Central NC

Our Erosion Control Process

From the first call to the finished job, here is how an erosion job runs from the first walk-through to the finished bank.

Step 1

Free On-Site Estimate

We come out and look at where you are losing ground and why — the slope, the water and what it is doing to the bank.

Step 2

We Go Over It With You

You hear what we found, what it is going to take and what it costs — before anything gets started. Nothing happens on your property until you say go.

Step 3

We Stabilize It

We put the fix in and grade and seed behind it, so the repair holds instead of washing out with the next storm.

Step 4

We Walk It With You

When the work is done we go over the finished job together and make sure it is what you had in mind. That is the part most people never get, and it is the part we care about most.

HomeErosion Control, Lake Norman, NC

In the Lake Norman, North Carolina area, the importance of erosion control cannot be overstated. Erosion refers to the natural process by which water and wind wear away geological material like rocks and soil. It can lead to water or air pollution and impact the environment in several other ways.  However, our team at Snead’s Outdoor Services has all the necessary skills to provide erosion control on your property.

Erosion Control in Lake Norman, North Carolina

The erosion control we provide is primarily geared towards clients who have bodies of water on their property. For instance, many of our clients have waterfront properties, so they may be concerned about shoreline erosion. Without erosion control, the waves wear away the soil, but we can provide stabilization through seawalls. These are designed to break up the waves’ energy so that it doesn’t reach the shoreline with so much force. This technique is effective for lakes, but it can also be used for large ponds as well.

We will take the time to assess your property and its erosion control needs so that we can understand how to approach those needs in the best way. Then, we will design your seawall and install it with precision. By the time we are finished, you can have peace of mind that your property has extra protection against the effects of erosion.

If you are interested in our erosion control services or would like to learn more about our other capabilities, don’t hesitate to reach out to us today. Our team at SOS is eager to assist you.


At Snead’s Outdoor Services, we offer erosion control services to customers throughout Lexington, Denton, Thomasville, Asheboro, Mooresville, Lake Norman, Winston-Salem, Salisbury, Davidson, Cornelius, and Concord, North Carolina.

 

Erosion Control FAQs

Answers to the questions we get asked most about erosion control work in Davidson County and central North Carolina. Anything not covered here, call us on (336) 596-5573.

How much does it cost?

Every site is different, so there is no honest flat rate to quote. We come out, look at the job in person and give you a straight number before anything starts — free, and with no obligation to use us.

How do I know if I need erosion control?

The usual signs are soil washing away after rain, bare patches where grass will not hold, exposed roots, gullies forming, or a bank or shoreline that keeps giving ground each season.

Do you install seawalls?

Yes — seawalls for lakes and for ponds, and shoreline stabilization where a bank is being cut back by the water.

What happens after the fix goes in?

We grade and seed behind the work, because bare ground is what starts the problem again. The repair is not finished until the ground around it is holding.

What equipment do you use?

Caterpillar equipment and other heavy machinery. We are owner-operated, so the person who comes out to quote your job is the one running the machine on it.

What areas do you cover?

We are based in Lexington and work across Davidson County and central North Carolina — Winston-Salem, High Point, Thomasville, Asheboro, Denton, Kernersville, Clemmons, Mocksville, Advance, Salisbury, Concord, Mooresville, Cornelius, Davidson and the Lake Norman area, plus the communities around them.
