What we do

Grading & leveling

Yards, lots, pads and low spots leveled so water runs away from the house.

Spreading gravel & topsoil

Gravel for driveways and parking, topsoil for new lawns and beds.

Concrete breaking

Old patios, slabs, walkways and driveways broken up with a hydraulic breaker and hauled off.

Brush & land clearing

Brush cutting and forestry mulching on lots, lines and trails.

Demolition help

Sheds, decks and small structures torn down and loaded out.

Material moving & cleanup

Dirt, debris and jobsite cleanup loaded and hauled.

Why it's worth doing right

Renting a machine means pickup, delivery, fuel, learning curve and doing the work yourself. Hiring us gets you:

  • An experienced operator who does this every day.
  • The right attachment for the job, from bucket to breaker to mulcher.
  • Haul-off included when you need it, with our own dump trailer.
  • Fully insured, so your property is covered.

Builders and landscapers: we can work as a sub on your jobs for grading, clearing and cleanup.

Questions

Do you rent skid steers out?
No. We come with the machine and the operator, which usually works out cheaper and faster than renting and doing it yourself.
Do you charge by the hour?
We can do hourly work or give you a fixed price for the job, whichever makes more sense.
Do you work for builders and landscapers?
Yes. We sub grading, clearing, demolition and cleanup for contractors in the Wilmington area.
Will the skid steer tear up my yard?
We use care on finished lawns, and we can grade and seed any disturbed areas when the job is done.

“Ryan came in on short notice and did a great job. He moved a lot of soil and graded it out for us in no time. Saved us a lot of work. Well done Ryan, thank you again.”
— Arthur Mitchell, Google Review
“Ryan did a great job. He was very communicative and walked us through the whole process. He even offered to bring in topsoil for planting grass when the project was over which we didn't initially discuss. Overall we were very pleased.”
— Daniel Cropper, Google Review
“Brian had his work cut out for him with our yard! We had removed 30+ pine trees from around the house and Brian dug out the roots, smoothed it all out and added tons of top soil. Now we’re ready for grass, thanks to Southern Hauling and Clearing!”
— Meredith Lewis, Google Review
