Excavation & Land Clearing in Loris, SC
Loris is a crossroads town in northern Horry County, closer to the North Carolina state line than to the Myrtle Beach strip. SC-9 and SC-905 intersect here, connecting Loris to Tabor City NC to the north and Conway SC to the south. The area around Loris is agricultural and rural residential — tobacco farms, timber tracts, and scattered houses on large lots. The Loris Bog-Off Festival, a chili-cooking competition held annually since 1980, is one of the town’s best-known traditions.
Ward Excavation reaches Loris in about forty-five minutes from our Whiteville yard, crossing the state line near Tabor City. We pair Loris jobs with Tabor City and Conway work on the same route. The work here is rural in character — land clearing, farm driveway construction, drainage ditch maintenance, and residential lot prep for properties with acreage.
Why Ward works in Loris
Loris sits in the part of Horry County that the coastal contractors rarely reach. The Myrtle Beach-based crews gravitate toward the strip and the beach communities where the commercial volume is highest. Loris-area property owners looking for excavation or clearing work are often geographically closer to Ward Excavation’s Whiteville yard than to any coastal contractor’s base. That proximity — combined with our dual-state licensing — makes us a practical fit for the rural Horry County work that does not interest the beach-oriented operations.
The land around Loris is flat, agricultural, and similar in character to the Columbus County ground we work every day. Driveway grading, fence-line clearing, small-acreage lot prep, and ditch maintenance are the recurring jobs. We price and schedule Loris work the same way we price Columbus County work — by the scope of the job, not by the state line it happens to sit across.
