How Hunter Excavating Became the Best Drainage & Grading Contractor in Durham, NC

Since the beginning of our journey in Durham, NC, our mission has been to combine professional skills, reliability, and integrity. We founded this company so people could genuinely count on us. The market is competitive, but we've never let our team cut corners. That commitment is what has made us one of the most trusted names in grading and drainage across the Triangle.

Built on Veteran Values and Local Commitment

As a veteran-owned and operated business, Hunter Excavating brings military precision, teamwork, and accountability to every project we take on. Our roots in the Durham community run deep, and we are proud to help local homeowners and businesses build stronger, more functional outdoor spaces.

From the beginning, our focus has been on doing the job right the first time — whether we’re grading a residential lot for new construction or designing a drainage system to protect a commercial property from erosion and flooding.

What Makes US Different

What makes Hunter Excavating stand out isn’t just the equipment we use — it’s the experience behind it. Our team has spent years mastering the details of grading, excavation, and drainage design across North Carolina’s diverse terrain.

We specialize in:

• Precision grading for construction, driveways, and landscaping projects

Each project is handled with the same care, communication, and craftsmanship our clients have come to expect.
