Debris Removal
We haul off demolition, construction and storm debris with the excavator and the dump truck. Brush piles and stumps go too, and the site is left clean.

Hydroseeding plants grass by spraying seed onto bare ground. The seed and fertilizer go into a tank with water and a fiber mulch. The slurry is sprayed across the ground, and its green dye shows where it has landed. Sanders Contracting does hydroseeding for new lawns, graded house sites, cleared lots and cut banks around Murphy.
Hydroseeding often comes last, after land clearing or the grading for a new house. Murphy averages about 59 inches of rain a year, and a hard storm carries bare dirt downhill. A stand of grass gives the soil a root mat and leaf cover to hold it. Call or text (828) 342-1467, and we look at the ground and put the quote in writing.

We hydroseed new lawns and the graded ground around new construction. We also seed cleared lots and the cut and fill banks along driveways. Each of these starts as raw dirt with nothing growing on it.
A hand-seeded bed needs fine, loose soil. The state's erosion control manual says hydroseeded ground can be left rougher, with large clods and stones. A lawn near the house still gets a smooth final grade. The extension service calls for a 2 to 3 percent slope so water drains away from the house.
When the ground needs shaping first, our excavators do the rough grading. Then the seed and the mulch go on together in one pass. The manual says to spray seed and fertilizer within 30 minutes of mixing them.
Late summer, as the weather cools, is the best time. The extension service puts the best seeding window for mountain lawns at August 15 to September 1. That window covers tall fescue and Kentucky bluegrass, two cool-season grasses suited to the North Carolina mountains. Fall is also the driest season near Murphy in federal weather records, so plan to water the new seed.
Spring seeding is the fallback. The extension service says spring seedlings often run out of time to root before summer heat and drought. The state's erosion control manual adds that mountain seedings in December and January have poor chances of success.
A building site cannot always wait for August. A quick temporary grass can hold the soil through spring and summer. The lawn grass then goes in when the late summer window opens. Above 2,500 feet, the manual's late winter and spring seeding dates run two weeks later.
On most building sites, state law sets a clock on bare slopes. Graded slopes left exposed must be planted or covered within 21 calendar days of finishing a phase of grading. The law also says a graded slope can be no steeper than its vegetation or a structure can hold.
Erosion control applies no matter how small the job is, the state says. Work that disturbs more than one acre also needs an approved erosion control plan. That plan is normally filed at least 30 days ahead. Some cities and counties run their own erosion programs, which can be stricter, so ask the local office.
On slopes steeper than 3:1, the state's erosion control manual calls mulch essential to seeding success. A 3:1 slope rises one foot for every three feet across. The manual also names south-facing cut banks and rocky or clay soils as hard places to start grass. Where a bank is too steep for grass to hold, a retaining wall can take height out of the slope.

Call or text (828) 342-1467 or (828) 361-8764 with the address and what has to come down or get cleared.
We look at what has to come down and how the excavator gets in. Steep lots and soft ground change how a job runs.
You get the quote in writing, with the work spelled out. When you say yes, we set a date.
You have the utility shut off power and gas. The public lines get marked through NC 811 before any digging or demolition.
The excavator takes the structure down and the dump truck hauls the debris off. We leave the lot cleaned up and ready for what comes next.
