Land clearing, grading, and site work in Granite Falls — this is home. Our yard, our crew, and the owner are right here, so you get the fastest response and the most hands-on job we do.
Walked and priced on site · no pressure
Platinum Construction & Crane is based right here in Granite Falls — this is home, and it's the ground the owner comes from. When you hire us for a Granite Falls job, you're not getting a crew dispatched from another town; you're getting the same owner-operated outfit that lives, works, and answers the phone here. Lot clearing, driveways, grading, drainage, and full site development — priced by the person who runs the machine.
Granite Falls sits at about 1,099 feet on the Caldwell–Catawba line, tucked between the Catawba River on the west and Gunpowder Creek on the east — the creek whose granite boulders gave the town its name. The everyday ground is the region's Cecil and Pacolet red clay over saprolite that drains slowly and slicks up when it's wet.
Water is close on every side: Lake Rhodhiss sits to the northwest and Lake Hickory borders the south — both Catawba River reservoirs — and Gunpowder Creek runs down to Lake Hickory. That means a lot of Granite Falls lots carry FEMA flood zones or Duke Energy shoreline rules, and lakeside grading, driveway cuts, and erosion control are common work. We know this ground because we live on it, and we walk every job before we price it.
US-321's four-lane runs along the east side of Granite Falls — Hickory is about six miles southeast, Lenoir about ten miles northwest — and US-321 Alternate is Main Street through downtown. Being based in town means our response time here is the shortest we offer: no travel from another region, no waiting on a rental machine, our iron is minutes away.
Granite Falls is home turf, so we handle the full range here — lakeside and riverfront lots on Rhodhiss and Hickory, residential subdivision lot clearing and driveways, drainage, retaining walls, demolition, and storm cleanup. Because we're local and owner-operated, a Granite Falls customer gets the most accountable job we do: the person who prices it is the person running the machine, and we're a phone call and a few minutes away if anything comes up.
Granite Falls is our home base, so there is never a travel charge and no cost for the estimate. Call (828) 764-3306 and we will come walk the property, talk through what the ground actually needs, and put a clear written price in your hands. For storm damage or a washout that cannot wait, we run 24/7 emergency response with a typical 1–2 hour arrival — and in our own town, usually faster.
Granite Falls was named for the water splashing over granite boulders in Gunpowder Creek, and grew as a textile and furniture town along the rail and highway corridor near Hickory. Today it's a growing bedroom community of about 5,000 on the Caldwell–Catawba line, sitting between the Catawba River and its two reservoirs. Lakeside Park — 72 acres on Lake Rhodhiss the town acquired in 2006 — is a local anchor, along with the downtown Main Street district.

Yes. Granite Falls sits between both reservoirs, and lakeside lots are routine work for us. They carry FEMA flood zones and Duke Energy shoreline rules, so we check both and plan the cut, drainage, and erosion control before we start.
