Horry County · South Carolina
Excavation & Land Clearing in Conway, SC
Conway is the Horry County seat and the inland administrative center for the county that contains Myrtle Beach, North Myrtle Beach, and the rest of the Grand Strand. The town sits on the Waccamaw River about fifteen miles upstream from the coast, and its character is distinct from the beach municipalities — Conway is where the courthouse, the county offices, and the agricultural heritage of Horry County still live. The land use around Conway is transitioning from farms and timber to residential subdivisions, but the transition is slower and less dense than the coastal strip.
Ward Excavation crosses the state line from Columbus County into Horry County regularly, and Conway is the inland anchor of our SC work. We are licensed and insured in South Carolina. The drive from our Whiteville yard to Conway is about an hour via US-701 and SC-905.
Why Ward works in Conway
Conway’s inland position in Horry County means the work here looks more like our Columbus County jobs than like the coastal commercial work in Myrtle Beach. Residential lot clearing, farm-parcel drainage, driveway construction on rural properties, and pond work on acreage east of town — this is the kind of work our crew runs every week at home, transplanted across the state line. The soil profile and the terrain are similar enough that the equipment choices and the approach translate directly.
Driveway paving crosses the state line with us. The rural parcels along SC-905 and US-701 north of Conway carry the same long driveways we build and surface in Columbus County — quarter-mile runs where chip-seal makes financial sense and full asphalt usually does not — while the newer subdivisions filling in along the US-501 corridor toward Myrtle Beach expect hot-mix asphalt. We quote both surfaces with the base prep included, and we are licensed in South Carolina, so a Conway paving job does not require a second contractor for any part of the scope.
The Waccamaw River corridor through Conway has its own flood history and drainage patterns. Properties near the river sit in a broader floodplain than the upland parcels west of town, and that distinction matters for excavation depth, pad elevation, and drainage system design. We account for the river’s influence when we walk a Conway site, the same way we account for the Cape Fear and the Lumber River on our NC jobs.

Working with us in Conway
- How does a paving estimate work in Conway when Ward is based in Whiteville?
- The drive is about an hour via US-701 and SC-905, so we schedule Conway site visits on our regular Horry County route days rather than same-day. At the visit we measure the driveway, check the base and drainage, and leave a written quote that includes the base prep — we do not price the surface separately from the ground under it. At that distance a paving job needs enough scope to justify the mobilization: a full driveway, a farm lane, or a parking area does; a small patch usually does not, and we will say so on the phone before anyone drives anywhere.
