Quick Facts About Garden City Beach, SC

  • Sits at the border of Horry and Georgetown counties, known for its pier and classic beach-town character.
  • Population of over 10,000, with an elevation of just 20 feet — low and flat, typical of the immediate Grand Strand coastline.
  • Densely developed for its size, meaning tight lots and careful, precise excavation work are the norm rather than the exception.
  • Coastal exposure puts hurricane and heavy-rain drainage concerns front and center for property owners here.
  • Located between Myrtle Beach and Murrells Inlet, making it a key stop along the southern Grand Strand corridor.

Every project — big or small — includes a clean, graded site when we're done. No leftover debris, no half-finished work, just land that's ready for whatever's next.

OUR SERVICES

Everything Your Garden City Beach Property Needs, From One Trusted Crew

From overgrown lots to full site prep, Scavo Solutions is the excavating contractor Garden City Beach and Horry County property owners call when the job needs to get done right the first time. No job too big, no lot too rough.

Excavating

Getting a project off the ground starts with what's under it. Our excavation crews handle site prep, grading, and trenching with the kind of precision that keeps your build on schedule — from foundation work to drainage lines to that shed pad you've been putting off.

Demolition

Tearing something down right is its own kind of skill. We handle full structure removal and selective demolition alike, always with an eye on safety and a clean site when we're done — residential, commercial, concrete, or interior.

Land & Lot Clearing

Overgrown doesn't have to stay that way. We clear brush, trees, and debris to turn a tangled lot into a blank canvas — ready for the build, the landscape, or whatever you've got planned next.

Drainage Systems

Water goes where it wants unless you give it somewhere better to go. We design drainage solutions — catch basins, dry wells, rain gardens — that protect your property and keep flooding off your list of worries.

Bamboo Removal

Pond Construction

A well-placed pond does more than look good — it manages runoff, curbs erosion, and gives your landscape a natural focal point. We design and build ponds that work as hard as they look good. 

Pool Demo & Removal

Forestry Mulching

Ready to clear that overgrown lot? We mulch through brush, saplings, and thick undergrowth in a single pass, leaving your land open and usable without stripping the topsoil that keeps it healthy.

Brush Hogging

Every property in the Garden City Beach area comes with its own soil, terrain, and storm-season considerations — so it's natural to have questions before you get started. Here are answers to what local homeowners and property owners ask most about excavation, land clearing, and site work across Garden City Beach and the greater Horry County area.

  • How much does excavation or land clearing cost in Garden City Beach, SC?

    Cost depends on lot size and scope — given how narrow the peninsula is here, most Garden City Beach jobs involve tighter-footprint demolition, clearing, or drainage work rather than large-acreage projects. A free estimate on your specific property is the best way to know.

  • Do I need a permit for excavation, grading, or land clearing in Garden City Beach?

    Yes, most projects require a permit, and given the low elevation and narrow footprint of Garden City Beach, drainage and stormwater requirements are almost always part of the process.

  • How do I find a licensed and insured excavating contractor near Garden City Beach, SC?

    Look for a contractor used to working narrow, tightly-spaced coastal lots — space is limited here between the ocean and the inlet — along with proper licensing and insurance.

  • How long does a typical excavation or land clearing project take in Garden City Beach?

    Smaller jobs run a day or two. Teardown-rebuild site prep on a Garden City Beach lot — demolition, clearing, and grading together — usually takes one to two weeks.

  • What's the difference between excavation, grading, and land clearing?

    Land clearing clears the lot down to usable ground. Excavation is the digging — foundations, drainage, pool removal. Grading shapes the finished land so water has somewhere to go, which matters even more on a narrow lot like most in Garden City Beach.
