Mint Hill has a real mix of properties. Older homes on large lots with mature hardwoods along Lawyers Road and Wilgrove-Mint Hill Road. Newer subdivisions filling in off Matthews-Mint Hill Road. Rural acreage on the edges near Fairview Road and Cabarrus Road that's just now getting developed. The soil changes depending on where you are too: creek bottom lots near Stevens Creek have decent topsoil over clay, but anything on higher ground is sitting on the same dense red Piedmont clay as Charlotte proper. You need to know which you're dealing with before you grade.
A lot of Mint Hill's housing stock was built in the 80s and 90s. Some of it has run its course. Whether you've bought a lot with an existing structure or inherited a property that needs clearing before it can be sold or rebuilt, we handle the teardown, the slab break-out, and haul everything off. We pull the permit and coordinate utilities before anything starts.
On the higher lots in Mint Hill, Piedmont clay is the reality. It doesn't drain without help and it doesn't forgive a bad grade.
