Class A Contractor
Professional Concrete Services in Newport News
Newport News is a city built on heavy industry, military heritage, and a working waterfront — and the people who live here expect things to be built right the first time.
Stretching from the James River shipyard district up through Denbigh and into the northern reaches toward York County, Newport News covers a wide range of neighborhoods, property types, and soil conditions. Older established areas like Hilton Village and the North End sit on ground that’s been settled for decades. Newer developments in Oyster Point, Kiln Creek, and Windsor Great Park sit on ground that’s been cut, filled, and graded within the last generation. Both require a contractor who knows what they’re working with before the concrete goes down.
At ML Blake Earthworks, we’re a Class A licensed contractor with a background in excavation and sitework. Whether you’re in a historic neighborhood replacing a cracked driveway or on a newer property building out a garage slab or backyard pad, we prepare the ground correctly before we pour — so the finished concrete holds up the way it’s supposed to.
From single-family residential projects to larger property improvements, ML Blake Earthworks delivers full-scope concrete services across Newport News — including all the site preparation work that separates concrete that lasts from concrete that doesn’t.

Unlike companies that just pour concrete, we handle your project from the ground up. That means no cracks from shifting soil, no low spots, and no water pooling near your home.
Strong foundations start with solid ground. With years of experience in excavation and site work, we understand what makes concrete last.

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.
