Quick Facts About Murrells Inlet, SC

  • Sits at just 23 feet elevation, in Georgetown County, roughly 13 miles south of Myrtle Beach.
  • Population of nearly 9,750, with continued growth as a popular tourist and retirement destination.
  • Marsh-bordered terrain throughout the community means drainage, grading, and erosion control are recurring property needs.

OUR SERVICES

Everything Your Murrells Inlet Property Needs, From One Trusted Crew

From overgrown lots to full site prep, Scavo Solutions is the excavating contractor Murrells Inlet 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

Every property in the Murrells Inlet 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 Murrells Inlet and the greater Horry County area.

  • How much does excavation or land clearing cost in Murrells Inlet, SC?

    We're based in Conway, but our crews work across the entire Grand Strand region — including Myrtle Beach, North Myrtle Beach, Carolina Forest, Socastee, Aynor, Loris, and the surrounding communities. If you're in Horry County, chances are we already cover your area.

  • Do I need a permit for excavation, grading, or land clearing in Murrells Inlet?

    Yes, most projects here require a permit, and marsh-front or tidally-influenced properties in Murrells Inlet often face additional stormwater or environmental review.

  • How do I find a licensed and insured excavating contractor near Murrells Inlet, SC?

    Look for a contractor with real experience grading marsh-adjacent land — soft, wet ground and tidal influence aren't every excavation company's specialty — plus proper licensing and insurance.

  • How long does a typical excavation or land clearing project take in Murrells Inlet?

    Smaller clearing jobs take a day or two. Marsh-adjacent excavation and drainage projects in Murrells Inlet usually run one to two weeks given the extra care the terrain requires.

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

    Land clearing opens up the lot. Excavation is the digging — foundations, drainage, pond or retention work. Grading finishes by shaping the land so water moves correctly, which is especially important on Murrells Inlet's marsh-influenced ground.
