Robeson County · North Carolina
Excavation & Land Clearing in Lumberton, NC
Lumberton is where I-95 crosses the Lumber River in Robeson County — a crossroads that has shaped the town into the commercial and administrative hub for one of North Carolina’s most populous southeastern counties. The Lumber River itself is a National Wild and Scenic River, and properties along its corridor have flood-history and drainage considerations that distinguish Lumberton work from the drier inland parcels west of town.
Ward Excavation reaches Lumberton in about forty-five minutes from our Whiteville yard, running west on US-74 through Columbus County and into Robeson. Lumberton jobs tend to be larger and more commercial than the agricultural work we run in Columbus County — pad building for commercial sites along the I-95 corridor, residential subdivision site prep, and post-storm drainage repair after the tropical weather events that hit the Lumber River basin periodically.
Why Ward works in Lumberton
The I-95 corridor through Lumberton drives commercial site work — gas stations, hotels, retail, and distribution facilities that need pad building, parking area grading, and utility excavation. This is a different work mix than the agricultural and residential jobs that dominate our Columbus County schedule, and it means our Lumberton work tends to involve larger equipment, deeper excavation, and coordination with general contractors and commercial developers.
The Lumber River’s flood history — including major flooding from Hurricane Matthew in 2016 and Hurricane Florence in 2018 — means properties along the river corridor need drainage systems that account for periodic high water. We have done post-storm regrading and culvert work on Lumber River-area properties and understand what the river does to the land when it rises. That experience is specific to this corridor and not something every contractor working out of the I-95 corridor has dealt with.
Services we offer in Lumberton
