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 Water & Sewer 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 quotes the run is the one on the machine. We work as a general contractor for water and sewer installation on residential and commercial sites, and restore the surface once the line is in.

Our Water & Sewer Process

From the first call to the finished job, here is how a water and sewer job runs from the first walk-through to the restored site.

Step 1

Free On-Site Estimate

We come out and look at the run, the tie-in and the ground it has to cross, for residential and commercial sites alike.

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 Run the Line

Trenched, bedded and backfilled so the line stays where it was put, and the surface is restored once it is in.

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.

Water General Contractor in Lake Norman, North CarolinaIf you’re planning a new build, you’ll need a water general contractor to install your water systems. At Snead’s Outdoor Services (SOS), we’ve installed water lines and connected new buildings to local systems for over a decade in the Lake Norman, North Carolina area.

If you’re a contractor, you know water systems are a key part of any project. If water lines are not properly installed, it can lead to delays, added costs, and expensive repairs in the future. Working with an experienced water general contractor gives you confidence that your project will stay on track.

Depending on the size of your project, we’ll work with you, your builders, and project managers from beginning to end. From preparing the site to helping keep the work organized and on track, we’ve done it all. Our team knows you’ve got strict budgets and timelines. Any delay in underground work can affect other stages of construction. Early planning can help avoid scheduling conflicts and unexpected delays, which is why we plan carefully with our clients and respond fast if challenges arise.

Water line installation involves several important steps, including excavation, pipe installation, testing, and connecting the system. Each step must be completed properly to help prevent leaks, service interruptions, and costly repairs later on.

Whether you’re building a commercial property, industrial facility, or residential development, choosing an experienced water general contractor is important. With the right equipment, skilled crews, and years of experience, your water system can be installed safely and efficiently to support your project for years to come. Call our team today for a free consultation and estimate.


At Snead’s Outdoor Services, our water general contractors are proud to serve customers throughout Lexington, Denton, Thomasville, Asheboro, Mooresville, Lake Norman, Winston-Salem, Salisbury, Davidson, Cornelius, and Concord, North Carolina.

Do you pull the permits?

Yes. We pull the permits the job needs and handle the work to the requirements that come with them.

What happens to the ground the line crosses?

It is trenched, bedded and backfilled so the line stays where it was put, and the surface is restored once the work is done.

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.
