Excavation & Land Clearing in Tabor City, NC
Tabor City sits in the southwestern corner of Columbus County where NC-904 crosses the South Carolina line into Horry County. The town grew up around tobacco farming and the railroad, and the annual North Carolina Yam Festival — running since 1986 — is one of the region’s longest-standing harvest celebrations. The land use around Tabor City is still agricultural at its core, with tobacco allotments giving way over the decades to row crops, timber, and rural residential parcels.
Ward Excavation runs Tabor City jobs as part of the regular Columbus County schedule. The drive from our Whiteville yard is about twenty minutes south on US-701, and we pair Tabor City work with jobs in Chadbourn and across the state line in Loris, SC. Land clearing, driveway construction, and drainage work are the most common calls from Tabor City addresses.
Why Ward works in Tabor City
Tabor City’s position on the state line means property owners here sometimes need work on land that straddles the NC-SC border or on SC parcels just across the line. Ward Excavation is licensed and insured in both states, so a Tabor City property owner with acreage extending into Horry County does not need to hire two separate contractors. That cross-border capability is practical rather than unusual — Loris, SC is closer to Tabor City than Whiteville is.
The agricultural character of the land around Tabor City shapes the work. Fence-line clearing, overgrown field reclamation, farm driveway grading, and drainage ditch maintenance are recurring jobs. The soil here is sandy and flat, drainage moves slowly, and ditches that silt in over a few years can turn a productive field edge into standing water. We run that kind of maintenance work on a regular schedule for Tabor City-area properties.
