Who we are

Yates Construction & Excavating Inc

Yates Construction & Excavating is a family-minded contractor working out of our yard at 8108 US Hwy 29 in Blairs. We do the heavy work that gets land ready to use: clearing, grading, excavation, utilities, driveways and drainage. Then we build on it.

Holding both a Highway/Heavy (H/H) and a Residential Building (RBC) license from the Commonwealth of Virginia lets us carry a project from raw ground to a finished home, garage or outbuilding. Customers get one point of contact, one schedule and one crew accountable for the whole job.

We work for homeowners, farmers, builders and businesses throughout Pittsylvania County, Danville and the surrounding area, and we take pride in being a contractor our neighbors recommend.

How we work

What you can count on

  • Do what we say

    Show up on time, give honest estimates and stand behind the work.

  • Build from a good base

    Proper compaction, drainage and grade. The parts you don't see are what make a job last.

  • Treat it like ours

    We respect your property, keep a tidy site and leave it better than we found it.
