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!

Kevin White7 reviews · 6 years ago

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!

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.

Chris does great work and he's diligent in what he does. You really made my lot he cleaned the undergrowth out from under it and it look beautiful I was amazed at how well the ground cover was done away with. I highly recommend him for any lot cleaning that you need done on your property.

Michael BarkerLocal Guide · 14 reviews · 8 years ago

I let my yard get away from me. Called Snead's Outdoor services up. They came out and went over their services and options. After they mowed my yard, trimmed my bushes, redid my mulch beds and hauled some gravel for me my yard was looking awesome again. I would high recommend letting them service you.

About Snead's

Storm Cleanup Contractors in Central North Carolina, 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 quotes the cleanup is the one running the machine on it. We clear what the storm brought down, haul it off on our own trucks and put the ground back the way it was.

Our Storm Cleanup Process

From the first call to the finished job, here is how a storm cleanup runs from the first look to the last load out.

Step 1

Free On-Site Estimate

We come out and look at what came down, what is blocking what, and where the water went — so the plan fits the damage rather than a generic one.

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 Clear, Haul and Grade

Trees and limbs come out with our own equipment, the debris leaves on our trucks, and any drive, yard or bank the storm washed out gets graded back so it holds the next time.

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.

Storm Damage Cleanup FAQs

Answers to the questions we get asked most about storm cleanup work in central North Carolina 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.

What happens to the trees, stumps and brush?

They come out and go with us. We take the trees, brush and stumps and haul the debris away, leaving the site neat and ready for the next phase rather than covered in a burn pile.

Can you leave some of the trees standing?

Yes. Tell us what you want kept when we walk the property and we clear selectively around it.

Do I need a permit to clear my land?

Sometimes, depending on the site and what is planned for it. We work out what the job needs as part of planning it, and handle the permits it calls for.

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.
