Your Local Excavating Contractor in North Myrtle Beach, SC

Scavo Solutions brings the same equipment and know-how to North Myrtle Beach that we bring to every property across the Grand Strand. Formed in 1968 from four smaller beach towns, North Myrtle Beach has grown into one of the region's most established coastal communities — and one where flooding from the Atlantic, the Intracoastal Waterway, and inland streams is a real, ongoing concern. Whatever your property needs — grading, drainage, land clearing, or storm cleanup — we're the local crew that shows up, gets it right, and leaves you with land that works.

Quick Facts About North Myrtle Beach, SC

  • Formed in 1938 (incorporated) from four beach communities including Cherry Grove, now one of the primary tourist and residential hubs on the northern Grand Strand.
  • Population of nearly 19,000 within the city, with a much larger seasonal and metro footprint driving continuous development.
  • Multi-source flood risk — the city faces flooding from the Atlantic Ocean, the Intracoastal Waterway, and inland rivers and streams, making drainage planning critical for every property.
  • Sits at just 26 feet elevation, with low-lying areas throughout requiring careful grading to keep water moving away from structures.
  • Located 15 miles northeast of Myrtle Beach, part of the fast-growing Myrtle Beach–Conway metro area topping 480,000 residents.

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 North Myrtle Beach Property Needs, From One Trusted Crew

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

Ready to reclaim that backyard? We dismantle and haul away old pools safely and completely, leaving you with a clean, level space for whatever comes next — garden, patio, or just room to breathe.

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 North 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 North Myrtle Beach and the greater Horry County area.

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

    Most projects here need a permit, particularly anything tied to new construction or changes to drainage patterns. Coastal towns like North Myrtle Beach often have stricter stormwater requirements, so it's worth checking before work begins.

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

    Look for local experience specific to coastal terrain, proper licensing and insurance, and a track record of work in and around North Myrtle Beach — vacation-home lots and older coastal properties come with their own set of challenges.

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

    Smaller lots can be cleared in a day or two. Full site prep with grading and drainage for a new build or teardown-rebuild in North Myrtle Beach generally takes one to two weeks.

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

    Land clearing removes what's growing on the lot. Excavation is the actual digging for foundations, trenches, or pools. Grading levels the finished ground and directs water where it needs to go — all three often happen on the same North Myrtle Beach project.
