I recently hired M.L. Blake Earthworks to dig the foundation and pour concrete for my husbands shop, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! From start to finish, the team demonstrated exceptional professionalism and expertise.
They arrived on time, worked efficiently, and truly paid attention to detail throughout the entire process. The foundation was dug precisely to specifications, and the concrete pouring was done flawlessly. The quality of their work is evident, and I have every confidence that my shop is built on a solid foundation.
I recently had M.L. Blake Earthworks install a driveway at my home, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! From the initial consultation to the final touches, their team was professional, knowledgeable, and attentive to my needs.
They took the time to understand what I wanted and offered valuable suggestions that improved the overall design. The quality of their work is outstanding; the driveway looks fantastic and has truly enhanced the curb appeal of my home. Will certainly use them again in the future!!
We have lived on a 20 acre heavily wooded piece of property for 27 years. We have wanted to open it up a bit for a long time. I have been monitoring ads for forestry mulching and contacted Mike Blake if M.L. Blake Earthworks. He responded quickly and came out and gave me an estimate for what I was looking to do. His estimate came in less than what I was expecting.
Mike came out this past week and forestry mulched about 2.5 to 3 acres in front of our home and our two side yards. The result exceeded my expectations and while we still have a forested lot, we now have a beautiful park like setting while preserving a buffer to the street and our neighbors. It was a four day effort.
I also had some logs left over from taking 6 trees down in my horse paddock. I thought I was going to be able to get rid of them as firewood for anyone who needed but had no takers. Mike offered to mulch them up at no separate charge.
Mike did an awesome job and we are extremely happy with our new park like setting. I highly recommend Mike and M.L. Earthworks if you have a similar project.
I’ve worked with Mike and his team for well over a year now, and can’t say enough good things about them. From all our clients new construction site work to some of clients needing minimal work done. Mike always has us covered. From anything from site work, lot clearing, pretty much anything from dirt to trees he has you covered!
I can’t say enough about M.L. Blake Earthworks. Michael and his crew went the extra mile every single day for me. They cleared off 3+ almost 4 acres at my property that was a complete mess, regraded a bad spot from the previous owner that was continuously washing out, and are currently helping with a concrete pad for my new shop. Great communication and definitely priced right and highly recommended them to everyone.

Whether you're clearing an old structure for new construction or removing a damaged building after a storm, it's natural to have questions before hiring a demolition contractor. As a Class A licensed contractor serving Central and Eastern Virginia for over a decade, ML Blake Earthworks has helped property owners navigate demolition projects of every size. Below are the questions we hear most often.
We handle both residential and commercial demolition across Central and Eastern Virginia, including full structure teardowns, selective demolition, pool demolition, and parking lot demolition. Whether it’s a single outbuilding or a full property clearing, our crew manages the demolition, debris cleanup, and site prep in-house.
Most demolition projects in Virginia require a permit through your local building department, and some may also involve utility disconnection or asbestos survey requirements depending on the structure’s age and size. As a Class A licensed contractor, we help property owners understand what’s required before work begins so there are no surprises mid-project.
Timeline depends on the size and type of structure, site access, and whether the debris needs to be hauled off or can be processed on-site. A single-family home demolition typically takes 1 to 3 days once permitting is in place, while larger commercial demolitions take longer. We provide a firm timeline after the site walk.
We handle full debris removal and disposal as part of our demolition service, so you’re not left with a pile of material to deal with. Depending on the project, some materials can be recycled or repurposed on-site rather than hauled away.
