OUR HISTORY
When You Do Remarkable Work, People Notice.
S.M. Smith & Sons began humbly as a trucking company in 1982. With the explosive growth of the Charlotte metro area, the Smiths saw the opportunity to do more to help build the future of the city. With tremendous foresight, they expanded their “toolbox” by investing in the newest grading technology, equipment, and experienced grading crews.
Through determination and best-in-class work, word spread among the development community and our grading business grew exponentially. Today S.M. Smith & Sons tackles turn-key assignments ranging from 30,000 to over 1 million yards of material for residential, commercial, and highway projects. These projects include over 440 lot subdivisions, basin conversions, distribution centers, and the I-77 toll lanes from I-485N to exit 31.
