Expert Excavation in Horry County, SC

Excavation in Horry County, SC requires more than just moving dirt. The county's sandy coastal soil shifts easily and holds water poorly, which affects how foundations, drainage systems, and utility lines must be dug and supported. Grand Strand Disposal handles site preparation, land clearing, grading, trenching, backfilling, and soil removal for properties throughout Horry County. We work on new builds, lot prep, drainage corrections, and site cleanups. Before any dig begins, we assess the ground conditions on your specific lot. Sandy soil common to this coastal region can lose load-bearing capacity when disturbed, so proper compaction after backfilling is not optional. Whether your project is in a wooded inland area or a flat coastal lot, we bring the right equipment to the site. Call Grand Strand Disposal to talk through your excavation scope and get a clear plan before work starts.

I was very pleased with Blake and his company. He demolished my mobile home on March 2, 2026. He also placed some of the parts of my mobile home that I plan to use for other purposes on another part of my lot. He did encounter a problem with a power wire very near the top of the side porch of the mobile home, but he saw that the problem was remedied to my satisfaction. The job site was left clean. I was impressed with Blake and have his company in my office go to file for any future work that needs to be done. Thanks Blake.

I had an area of my property that was over grown with small and dead trees and under bush. I contacted many other companies by phone, text and facebook and they agreed to come give me and estimate. None of those companies ever showed up. Blake Porter came for the estimate at the scheduled time and set a date to do the job within a week. They got the job done quickly and as agreed. We are thrilled! Blake Porter is very professional, responsive and the price was reasonable. Thank you!

Grand Strand Disposal and Blake Porter have done numerous jobs for me including demolition, site clean up and dumpster service. Top notch company and people. Always prompt and professional but most of all on residential demolition they are extremely clean, careful and polite. I have no need to go anywhere else for theses services. I have used a few in the past and they are by far the best and a pleasure to have on my team! Brian S. Stahley Vision Construction Services
