Ellenboro is a small town on US-74 in eastern Rutherford County, between Shelby and Forest City, and it marks the western edge of our range. The ground here is open farm country on red clay, gently rolling and considerably easier to work than the foothills north of it.
Parcels are large and rural, so the work is measured in acres and the private drives are long. There is room to manoeuvre, room to stockpile and no shortage of space to balance material, which makes the earthwork economics favourable despite the distance.
On acreage we cut and fill on site wherever the numbers allow, because hauling dirt off a farm and buying topsoil back is how a budget gets wrecked. On long drives we set the crossings first and stone in lifts afterwards.

Excavation & Grading Contractor in Ellenboro, Rutherford County
Ellenboro is a small farming town on the US-74 corridor in the eastern part of Rutherford County, with the more rugged foothills country lying north and west of it. It has remained agricultural. There is no defining physical obstacle — the notable factors are scale and distance, and the run out on US-74 is easier than the mileage suggests.
Common Projects in Ellenboro
Long driveway construction and rebuilds lead. Pasture brush hogging is second. Clearing on acreage and building pads on subdivided family land round it out.
What the Ground Does Here
Open farm ground on red clay through most of the area, gently rolling and easy to work compared with the foothills further north.
Getting Equipment In
US-74 is the artery; the rest is rural county road with long private drives.
