Hollingsworth and Son Construction is an excavation contractor serving Fayetteville, Raeford and the surrounding counties. We handle digging and dirt work with an excavator, also called a track hoe, and with a backhoe. Some calls are one ditch on a home lot. Others are site excavation on a general contractor's project.
Demolition is our main line of work, and excavating goes right along with it. As a demolition contractor in Fayetteville, we dig out the old slabs and footings a teardown leaves behind. When the ground needs leveling after the dig, dozer work takes it from there.
Tell us about the building, lot or land and where it is. We look at the job and put the quote in writing.
Homeowners and property owners call our excavation company for dirt work around the house and the lot. We dig trenches and ditches to the size the job calls for. Dirt in the wrong place gets moved and spread where you want it.
General contractors bring us in for site excavation on bigger projects. When brush and small trees cover the ground, lot clearing comes before the dig. Driveways and patios that have to go are concrete removal jobs, and the same machines do that work.
North Carolina law requires anyone who digs to contact NC 811 before the work starts. The notice goes in at least three full working days ahead, and weekends and state holidays do not count. The utilities then mark their public lines in color, with red for power and yellow for gas. Each notice runs out 28 calendar days after the work start date.
The law also sets a 24-inch zone on either side of each mark. Digging machines have to stay out of that zone until someone has seen exactly where the line runs.
Under state law, most work that disturbs more than one acre needs an approved erosion and sedimentation control plan first. A smaller job can still need a local permit. The city or county inspections office answers that question, and we point you there.
Our service area runs about 50 miles around Fayetteville, with Raeford to the west. Cumberland County and Hoke County sit at its center. The towns in our service area also reach into Moore County, Lee County, Harnett County, Robeson County and Scotland County.
Inside Fayetteville, federal soil maps show Wagram loamy sand as the most common soil. Its sandy top runs 20 to 39 inches deep, with loamier soil below. Raeford's most common soil is Faceville, with sandy clay under a thin top layer. In Southern Pines and Pinehurst, deep Candor sand covers more ground than any other soil.
Federal trench safety rules put sand and loamy sand in the least stable class of soil. That is one reason we look at the ground before we price a dig. Call or text (910) 527-1108, and we put the quote in writing.
