SCAVO SOLUTIONS

Excavating Contractor in Myrtle Beach, SC

From site prep to full property transformation, Scavo Solutions delivers reliable excavation, land clearing, and demolition services across Myrtle Beach and the entire Grand Strand. Every job is backed by our equipment, our experience, and our word.

Your Local Excavating Contractor in Myrtle Beach, SC

 Scavo Solutions brings the same equipment and know-how to Myrtle Beach that we bring to every property across the Grand Strand. As one of the most visited and fastest-developing coastlines in the Southeast, Myrtle Beach properties face a unique mix of sandy soil, high water tables, and serious storm exposure — from new construction site prep to drainage systems that actually hold up during hurricane season. Whatever your property needs, we're the local crew that shows up, gets it right, and leaves you with land that works.

Quick Facts About Myrtle Beach, SC

  • Anchor city of the Grand Strand and the Myrtle Beach–Conway–North Myrtle Beach metro area, drawing over 20 million visitors a year to the coast.
  • Rapid, ongoing growth — the broader metro population grew nearly 40% between 2010 and 2020, one of the fastest-growing regions in the country.
  • Coastal, flood-prone terrain — much of the city sits low and close to the Atlantic, Intracoastal Waterway, and connecting streams, making proper grading and drainage essential for any build.
  • Hurricane and storm surge exposure — Myrtle Beach's coastal position means storm debris cleanup and drainage work are a recurring seasonal need, not a one-time job.
  • Constant new development — from new resort corridors to residential growth further inland, site prep and land clearing stay in steady demand.

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 Myrtle Beach Property Needs, From One Trusted Crew

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

It looked charming until it started taking over. We remove bamboo at the root, protecting your foundation and your neighbors' patience, and open up space you forgot you had.

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

Ready to tame that overgrown field? We cut back tall grass, weeds, and brush fast, leaving your lot or pasture clear and manageable for whatever comes next — grazing, building, or just tidy land.

Every property in the Myrtle 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 Conway and the greater Horry County area.

  • How much does excavation or land clearing cost in Myrtle Beach, 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 Myrtle Beach?

    Yes, most excavation and land-disturbing work in Myrtle Beach requires a permit, and coastal properties often have additional stormwater or drainage requirements layered on top. We're familiar with the local permitting process and help coordinate it on larger projects.

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

    Look for a company with local experience in Myrtle Beach's sandy, low-lying soil and dense development, plus proper licensing and insurance — this close to the coast, a contractor who understands drainage isn't optional.

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

    A straightforward clearing job might take a day or two, while excavation and grading for a new build or major renovation in Myrtle Beach can run one to three weeks depending on lot size and site conditions.

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

    Land clearing gets the property down to bare, usable ground. Excavation is the digging work — foundations, trenches, pools removed. Grading shapes and levels everything afterward so water moves off the property the way it should.
