Pond Building and Land Work in King, NC
Land Work Between Town and the Sauratowns
King has grown a lot, but you do not have to drive far from the US 52 corridor to find pasture, wooded acreage and long gravel drives. The Sauratown Mountains rise to the north, so a lot of land around King slopes, and that slope shapes everything from how a pond holds water to how a yard drains.
Ponds on King Area Acreage
Sloping ground can be good pond country, because a natural draw lets a smaller dam hold back more water. It also means the spillway has to handle a lot of runoff coming off the hill. We look at both on our first visit. Our pond construction page explains how we build, and our pond permit guide covers the rules that can apply.
New Home Sites and Wet Yards
Many of our King calls come from people building a house on a wooded lot. We clear the site with land clearing, cut the pad and drive with grading, and keep water moving away from the foundation. If an existing yard stays soggy after every rain, our drainage work can fix it.
★★★★★
JS Excavation permanently fixed a long standing drainage problem. Justin was very professional, on-time, and kept us informed all the way. Stayed on schedule and completed the work for a reasonable price - will definitely use JS again for this type of work.
King Questions
Do you serve the Forsyth County side of King?
Yes. Part of King sits in Forsyth County. We work on both sides of the county line. Erosion control rules can differ between the two counties, so it helps to know which side your land is on.
How soon can you come look at land in King?
King is a short drive from our base in Walnut Cove, so we can usually set up a site visit quickly. Call us and we will find a time.
Can you clear a lot in King without taking every tree?
Yes. We can clear only the building area and drive, then use forestry mulching to clean up underbrush while leaving the good trees standing.
