About Knights Construction and Supplies
Headquartered in Sanford, NC (Lee County), we provide precision earthwork, certified building pads, code-compliant foundation backfilling, septic repairs, driveway restoration, and snow removal across Central North Carolina.
We Don't Just Push Dirt. We Engineer Ground That Passes Inspection.
In Central North Carolina, the soil presents unique challenges: dense Cecil red clay that expands with moisture and shrinks during summer droughts. Any contractor can show up with a rented tractor and dump stone on a muddy driveway or push dirt against an uncured foundation wall.
Knights Construction and Supplies was founded to bring engineering rigor and code compliance to local earthwork. Whether preparing a certified building pad in Sanford, repairing a washed-out gravel driveway in Lee or Moore County, or backfilling a new residential foundation to pass county building inspection on the first visit, we operate with laser accuracy and heavy vibratory compaction.

Generations Deep in Carolina Dirt & Heavy Machinery
At Knights Construction and Supplies, heavy equipment, timber clearing, and precision grading isn't just a business we decided to start—it is a family heritage passed down across three generations. From hauling towering North Carolina timber out of dense pine forests to excavating multi-acre farm ponds and compacting code-guaranteed building pads, our family has worked this land with our own hands.
That generational seat time gives us an instinct you can't learn in a classroom: knowing how native Cecil red clay expands after winter rains and bakes solid in the summer sun, feathering a 20-ton excavator bucket with millimeter precision near tree lines, and grading drainage swales that shed runoff for decades without eroding.
