Sherrills Ford Excavating & Land Clearing Contractor
Serving Sherrills Ford and Southeastern Catawba County
Sherrills Ford sits in southeastern Catawba County on the west shore of Lake Norman. It has kept much of its quiet, wooded character, but more people are building here every year, from lake homes to houses on a few acres. Bullet Proof Clearing & Grading helps Sherrills Ford property owners clear, grade, and prepare their land for whatever they have planned. As an excavating contractor, we also dig foundations, driveways, and septic areas for Sherrills Ford properties once the land is cleared.
Because Sherrills Ford is in Catawba County, just down the road from our base in Hickory, it’s an area we know well and can reach easily.

Wooded Lots and Lake Properties
A lot of land in Sherrills Ford is heavily wooded. Owners usually want to open up room for a house, a driveway, a yard, or a view of the lake without losing the woods that drew them there. We can clear selectively and use forestry mulching to remove underbrush while protecting the trees you want to keep.
Near the lake, erosion control matters. Cleared and graded soil is easily washed downhill, so we plan grading and erosion control together and keep the ground stable until construction is underway.
Septic and Rural Site Work
Many properties in Sherrills Ford rely on septic systems rather than public sewer. We install septic tanks and provide ongoing maintenance, and because we also clear and grade land, we can prepare the site and install the system as one project. That means one crew handling the work instead of several contractors working around each other.
Help With Permits
If you’re not sure what your project needs before the work can begin, ask us. We help clients understand permit requirements and stay in line with local regulations so the project isn’t held up later.
