Site work in Matthews, done by one crew

Matthews is an established town on Charlotte's southeast side, with older neighborhoods around its historic downtown and newer development out toward I-485. We help Matthews homeowners with yard regrading and drainage, trenching for new utility lines, and septic repairs or replacements on properties that are not on sewer.

Proud referral partner of Touchstone Electric in Matthews, NC. When their electrical projects need trenching or excavation, they send customers our way.

Septic permits in Matthews

In Matthews, septic permits are issued by Mecklenburg County's environmental health office under North Carolina's statewide rules.

The process has three steps. First an Improvement Permit, where the county confirms the soil and space can support a system. Then a Construction Authorization, which approves the specific system and where it goes. Finally an Operation Permit, issued after the county inspects the installed system and before it is covered.

We handle permit acquisition and inspection coordination as part of every installation, so you are not chasing paperwork.

North Carolina septic work is performed under On-Site Wastewater Contractor Certification #14978 (Grade Level II).

Newer neighborhoods and established homes

In built-up areas the jobs are usually about fixing and adding: regrading a yard that holds water, trenching for a new utility line or outbuilding, or replacing a septic system that has reached the end of its life on a property outside sewer service. We keep the footprint small and leave the site clean.

Common Questions

My yard in Matthews holds water after it rains. Can you fix that?

Often, yes. Plenty of our grading work is on homes that have been standing for years. We look at the slope first, then regrade so water drains away from the house, and we will tell you honestly what the fix requires.
